Overview: The waterproofing treatment on the Ashram Building rooftop in Haridwar revealed significant deficiencies, such as cracking, unsealed joints, and porous concrete. Our team conducted a thorough assessment to address these issues, ensuring long-lasting waterproofing and joint integrity.

Observations:
1. Cracking and Weakness: Concrete screed showed extensive cracking, suggesting issues in material quality and application.
2. Unsealed Joints: Unsealed and irregular control joints compromised waterproofing effectiveness.
3. Porous Surface: Weak, easily eroded screed indicated possible issues with the concrete mix.

Corrective Measures:
1. Flood Testing: Built perimeter barriers on the roof and flooded the area to identify weak points.
2. Targeted Grout Injection: Applied low-viscosity polyurethane (PU) injections to primary leak points for flexibility and sealing.
3. PU Elastomeric Coating: Added a UV-stable PU coating across the roof and parapet walls to prevent water penetration.
4. Final Testing: Conducted a pond test to verify waterproofing effectiveness.

Conclusion: The corrective actions taken ensure Ashram Building’s rooftop is fortified against environmental wear and moisture infiltration. Follow-up inspections will maintain long-term performance.

Environmental Considerations: Due to Haridwar’s monsoon season and high humidity, we applied waterproofing materials that can withstand heavy rains and prolonged moisture exposure.
Long-Term Durability: The PU elastomeric coating ensures flexibility, allowing it to expand and contract without cracking under seasonal temperature variations.
Maintenance Plan: We recommended periodic inspections, particularly after monsoon seasons, to identify any early signs of wear and ensure sustained performance.
Safety Protocols: Safety measures were strictly followed during application to minimize environmental impact, protecting both the building and its occupants.

For the Kullu Central Mall rooftop, the waterproofing and joint repair process focused on safeguarding the structure from water infiltration and environmental wear, crucial in high-altitude, variable climates like Kullu.

Waterproofing Technique:
We utilized advanced waterproofing materials, including elastomeric membranes and liquid-applied coatings, which adapt well to the surface’s contours and provide seamless protection. This approach prevents water from penetrating the roof’s surface, protecting the structure underneath. Elastomeric membranes are particularly effective for covering large areas, as they form a durable, flexible barrier resistant to cracking and peeling under temperature fluctuations.

Joint Repair:
Joint repair focused on sealing expansion and contraction points where leaks and cracks are most likely to form. For this, we employed specialized joint sealants and flexible fillers designed to accommodate movement in the structure. This process prevents gaps and ensures the roof remains watertight, even as the building experiences daily and seasonal shifts.

General Importance of Rooftop Waterproofing and Joint Repair:
Waterproofing and joint repair are critical for extending the life of commercial structures, as unprotected roofs are susceptible to water damage, mold, and structural issues. These methods help in minimizing future repair costs, protecting interior assets, and enhancing the overall resilience of the building.
