Retaining Wall:
Treatment on + ve side:
• Brush / spray application of impregnation product called
Protekta Base which fills the fine pores with crystalline
silicate growth, coverage 2 Sq. M / Ltr.
• Brush application of one coat of Protekta Flexjoint on the
construction joint only. Thickness of application will be
approx. 0.5 mm.
• Plastering at the Starter Joint, Construction joints and any
other defects like honeycombs, tie-rod locations etc with
polymer sealant 500 modified mortar.
• Brush coat of Protekta Plastofelt primer
• Brush coat of Protekta Plastofelt to provide a very strong
coating to resist hydrostatic pressure.
• Brush coat of Protekta Top Seal Coat as hard layer. After the
application of this layer, plastering is not required.
Treatment on –ve side:
·    Injections/Grouting at starter joint & construction joints with
Protekta Grip / Protekta Hydro Grout.
Floor
Treatment on + ve side:
• After PCC has been laid, grout Protekta SB mixed
with Protekta SS and catalyst at regular intervals of
every 1 M center to center. This grout material has
property of expanding when it comes in contact with
water. It forms a water impervious layer and
prevents travel of water to the top of PCC.
• Spray of Protekta Base on PCC surface towards
porosity reduction.
• Application of a slurry prepared with Protex B &
Protekta SLM. This layer is a hard layer & will be
abrasion resistant.
• A coat of Protekta Ceal 540 on concrete
Treatment on –ve Side
• Injection/grouting at a regular intervals at all joints
between floor and column joints and construction
joints
 Podium Slab with Gutter (Hard & Soft
Scapes)

Podium Slab
Assumptions Made:
• Gradient is provided in the slab at the time
of casting.
• Water from this sloped surface flows into
the Gutters.
• Ridge points are at the Podium Slab,
midway between the Gutters on either side.
 Treatment Steps
• Brush / spray application of crystallisation/gel formation product
called Protekta Base which fills the fine pores with crystalline
silicate growth, coverage 2 Sq. M / Ltr.
• Brush application of one coat of Protekta Flexjoint on the
construction joint only. Thickness of application will be approx. 0.5
mm.
• Plastering 6” wide at the construction joints.
• Brush coat of Protekta Plastofelt to provide a very strong
flexible coating.
• Application of Protekta Abrasion resist as hard layer. After the
application of this layer, plastering is not required.
• Injections/Grouting at construction joints/cracks from below.

• Optional, a coat of Protekta Procoat or Protekta Wall Top

• Please note that we have not suggested any plastering on

our treatment since the final surface is abrasion resistant.
 Gutter Treatment
• Brush / spray application of crystallisation/gel formation
product called Protekta Base which fills the fine pores with
crystalline silicate growth, coverage 2 Sq. M / Ltr.
• Brush application of one coat of Protekta Flexjoint on the
construction joint only. Thickness of application will be
approx. 0.5 mm.
• Plastering 6” wide at the construction joints.
• Brush coat of Protekta Plastofelt to provide a very strong
flexible coating.
• Application of Protekta Abrasion resist as hard layer. After
the application of this layer, plastering is not required.
• Injections/Grouting at construction joints/ Cracks from below.

Slope Creation:
• With M20 grade Concrete laid to slope.
