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:
-
East & West Wing Concrete Flat Roof
-
Concrete Gutter
-
Perfume Garden
-
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.
