9.0 Procedure

Step 1: Hand over

Hand over from MLDL project team.

Surface Preparation:
• Careful surface preparation is essential for optimum finish and durability.
The surface needs to be made clean, dry and sound, free of any
contamination by wire brushing, which may harmfully affect the adhesion of
the membrane. Substrate compressive strength should be at least 20 Mpa.
• New concrete structures need to dry for at least 28 days. Dirt, fats, oils,
organic substances, and dust should be removed with the wire grinding
machine. Wash the surface with water pressure jet.
• Undulation in RCC roof slab surface shall be repaired with Polymer
Modified Mortar mixed by adding 1 kg Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP, 5 kg fresh
cement, and 15 kg graded quartz sand. (i.e., in the ratio of [Link]) or with
dual shrinkage compensated Dr. Fixit Polymer Modified Mortar HB.
• Honeycombs, pin holes, imperfections should be chiseled until the sound
concrete is reached. Clean the surface with water to remove the dirt, dust.
The surface must be in saturated surface dry condition prior to repair
work. The surface should be repaired with polymer modified mortar (PMM),
mixed by adding 1 kg Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP, 5 kg fresh cement, and 15
kg graded quartz sand. (i.e., in the ratio of [Link]) or with dual shrinkage
compensated Dr. Fixit Polymer Modified Mortar HB
•

• Treatment of crack in RCC slab.

[Link].02 00 15
 • Shrinkage cracks which are more than 1mm should be cut and widen in V
shape with mechanical cutter upto 10mm Width. Clean the cracks with the
air blower to remove the dust & dirt. Apply a bond coat Dr. Fixit URP &
Cement mixed in ratio 1:1 over prepared crack. Fill the crack with
Polymer modified mortar mixed with Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP @ 10% by
weight of cement in the ratio of 1:3 (Cement: Sand). Moist cure the
surface for minimum 3-4 days.
• Existing construction joints should be opened in a V-shape, towards the
inside, along their entire length, to a depth of 25mm, the area should be
dampened well and filled in with Dr. Fixit Polymer Modified mortar HB,
fibre reinforced, polymer-modified cementitious repair mortar.
• Core cut patching should be done as per standard process as mentioned
below:
• Clean the surface with wire brush to remove loose material, dust etc.,
moist the surface with water & then apply a bond coat of URP: Cement
in a proportion of 1:1. After the application of bond coat fill the gap with
Dr. Fixit Pidigrout 10M non shrink grout within 10 minutes of bond coat
application.
Two different origin material:
Angle Fillet Treatment
• Junctions between walls and bottom of the water tank and peripheries shall
be followed by providing a triangular fillets by 50mm x 50mm size as
mentioned in below procedure.
• Roughen the wall floor junction with wire brush and remove loose and dirt
particles with the air blower.
• Moisten the surface with water & apply a bonding coat of Fixit Pidicrete
URP and cement (1:1) by volume on cleaned RCC surface by brush taking
care to avoid pinholes. Immediately after application of the slurry on the
requisite surface, place the PMM as following a ‘wet on wet’ application.
• Provide angle fillet (gola) of size 50x50 mm in width within 10 minutes of
bond coat application. Prepare PMM by taking 1 kg Dr. Fixit Pidicrete
URP, 5 kg fresh cement, and 15 kg graded quartz sand. (i.e., in the ratio of

 [Link]) on RCC surface (slab and wall junction) finishing in smooth finish.
Add a requisite quantity of water to attain dough-like consistency so that it
can be hand-packed.

 Application – Waterproofing:
• Mix the prepacked Dr. Fixit Fastflex using a slow speed mechanical mixer,
add powder component slowly to the polymer in a clean container.
• Stir till smooth and homogeneous slurry, without any lumps, is achieved. Do
not dilute with water.
• Allow the mixed slurry to stand for 5-10 minutes to release trapped air during
mixing.
• Apply 1st coat of Fastflex slurry by brush, roller, or trowel. Allow it to dry
completely for 6-8 hrs.
• Apply a 2nd coat of Fastflex slurry by brush, roller or trowel over the first
coat. The second coat shall be applied in 90⁰ direction to the first coat.
• Coverage shall be maintained at the rate of 0.42 – 0.5 Sqmt / kg for two coat
applications.
• Both the coatings shall be applied over the mother slab, extended to the side
walls up to full height.
Allow the coating to cure for a minimum of 3-5 days before application of protection
layer.
 Apply a bond coat of URP & Cement in a proportion of 1: 1 & sprinkle
quartz sand over it for a generation of mechanical key for plaster.

• Protection to waterproof
coating

• (Horizontal)

• Lay 25- 30 mm thick Protective Screed over the prepared surface of

cement sand mortar admixed with integral waterproofing compound
Pidiproof LW + as per standard procedure.

 • (Vertical)

• Lay 15- 20 mm thick Protective Plaster over the prepared surface of

cement sand mortar admixed with integral waterproofing compound
Pidiproof LW+ as per standard procedure.
•
 The surface brooming, curing of the surface by water sprinkling shall be
done for 7 days.

• Application – Hygiene coat: Anti-microbial Coating:

• First stir the Base and Hardener of Dr. Fixit Dampguard Classic/Food Grade
Epoxy thoroughly in their individual packs to achieve the uniform
consistency.
• Pour the Base part in appropriate container followed by the Hardener part
and mix them thoroughly together to a homogeneous smooth paste.
• Dilute the mixed compound with water (In ratio of 1 part Base: 1 part
Hardener: 1 part water) by slow addition and mix it thoroughly until a
brush able consistency is obtained.
• Apply the first brush coat of mixed of Dampguard classic Classic/Food Grade
Epoxy. Allow drying for 6 to 8 hrs.
• Apply second brush coat of mixed Dampguar Classic/Food Grade Epoxy d.
Allow it to cure completely for 24 hours.
• Allow the coating to cure for minimum 7 days before doing ponding test.
• The coating of Dr. Fixit Dampguard classic Classic/Food Grade Epoxy then
must be cleaned thoroughly with plenty of water 6-7 times prior to storage of
the water to avoid foam formation.
• The coverage shall be 4 m2 per kg/ 2 coats.

• Precautions &

Limitations:
• Do not add water to Dr. Fixit Fastflex during application.
• Dr. Fixit Fastflex needs at least 3-5 days for water or moisture curing. Cure
with help of moist hessian cloth.
• Do not cure by flooding with water or conduct any ponding test before it gets
completely cured.
• Concrete & masonry surfaces must be cured for 28 days before application.
• Overlay of a cementitious screed must be done with 24 to 48 hrs.
