A Case Study in Prime Minister's Office Waterproofing Project

Introduction

Waterproofing plays a vital role in protecting the structural integrity and functionality of any building. For government buildings like the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), maintaining a watertight envelope is essential. In 2013, Unity Repair was awarded the contract to address waterproofing concerns at the PMO, a project demanding expertise and meticulous execution.

Project Scope

The project encompassed waterproofing various sections of the PMO complex, including:​

  • Icon
    East & West Wing Concrete Flat Roof
  • Icon
    Concrete Gutter
  • Icon
    Perfume Garden
  • Icon
    Exposed Carpark (East & West Wing)

Challenges and Solutions

A significant challenge during the project was the ongoing monsoon season. Unity Repair's team implemented a two-pronged approach to mitigate this obstacle:

Temporary Weather Protection

A meticulously constructed canopy system effectively shielded the work area from rain, ensuring uninterrupted project progress.

Advanced Spraying Membrane System

A state-of-the-art Polyurea coating was applied using advanced spraying technology. Polyurea's unique properties offered rapid curing, excellent adhesion to concrete surfaces, and the creation of a seamless, fully bonded membrane.

Successful Results

The project's successful completion delivered several key benefits:

  • Eliminated Leaks: The Polyurea membrane effectively addressed existing leaks, ensuring a watertight building envelope.
  • Enhanced Structural Integrity: By preventing water ingress, the waterproofing system safeguards the building's structural integrity and longevity.
  • Improved Aesthetics: Addressing leaks and preventing water stains contributes to the overall visual appeal of the PMO complex.
  • Sustainable Solution: Polyurea offers long-lasting protection with minimal maintenance requirements, promoting building sustainability.
