Technical Restoration and Renovation of old R.C.C Structures. Part 1

 

Introduction

With the passage of time and wear and tear due to natural climatic conditions, every civil structure gets naturally and normally damaged. The “Rusting & Corrosion” of R.C.C Iron beams can only be seen with the naked eye, when the plastering collapses and falls.

Such Civil Structures urgently need Restoration of the structure first and secondly it needs Renovation with the implementation of Waterproofing techniques.

Parkar Construction involves itself in Civil, Construction, Restoration & Renovation of Damaged properties and Waterproofing projects all over Goa. We engage into contracts with other organizations or individuals (the owner) for the demolition, excavation, landscaping, construction, renovation, interior works, electrical and plumbing, water proofing etc. Parkar Construction is responsible for the technical expertise & professional results to be achieved in the project in accordance with perception wishes of the client.

For clients better understanding a few of the works are briefly explained:

Civil works: -

 Parkar Construction do undertake individual exterior civil jobs relating to demolishing, excavation, landscaping, construction, electrical and plumbing, AC ducting, P.O.P. works tiling, water proofing etc.

Painting: -

Painting of houses, offices, bungalows and industrial units is the collective effort of a team of highly skilled painters who are familiar with working on different kinds of concrete structures. Waterproofing Painting involves a lot of pre-preparing a cement structure in the form of scrapping, neroo finishing, lampi treatment, application of primers, application of synthetic paint and finally implementation of waterproofing solutions before during and after the painting process. 

Waterproofing before Tiling: -

This is the expert work of professional tile fitters. Tiling is done with a variety of materials, common being ceramic but the range varies from marble to granite. Floor tiles are generally fixed using mortar which is a combination of sand, cement, water. Sometimes chemical latex is utilized for extra adhesion. Waterproofing of Bathroom and Toilets and Kitchen wash basins before tiling is a very important process.

Demolishing: -

The activity of breaking down a constructed building / structure is called demolition. It is the exact opposite of construction. Demolition involves bringing down structures to the ground. In demolition the building or structure is systematically broken down either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment’s, elevated work platforms, cranes excavators or bull dozers.

Excavation: - This activity is performed immediately after the demolition process is completed. Excavation is the main process of removing debris and destroyed material of the old demolished building. This can be done by manual labor or by hydraulic excavators. Excavation could also mean to dig and to prepare the property for laying the foundation of the new construction.

Plumbing: - This is the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing and plumbing fixtures for drinking water systems and the drainage of waste. Good plumbing work goes hand in hand with excellent waterproofing services.

Construction: - This involves specialized fields of architecture and civil engineering. Construction is the physical process of actually building something (structure) on an empty piece of land. Construction involves high levels of multitasking different levels of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers.

Water Proofing: - This is the formation of an impervious barrier which is designed to prevent water entering or escaping from various sections of building structures. Internal areas that are waterproofed include bathrooms, and toilets. External areas that are water proofed are the main exposed walls of the building and the entire roof of the structure.
