SITUATION:
Yamaha wanted a seamless, high abrasion resistant, glossy flooring
SOLUTION:
Being vaccum dewatered smooth flooring, shotblasting was recommended on the concrete floor to achieve a proper surface prior to application of R 3 E Epoxy primer.
The system recommendations were made by ARDEX ENDURA and the same is well demonstrated to the client during the initial discussion. This led us to bag this order from leading turnkey contractor executing the project. R 25 CE, R 3 E was recommended.

SITUATION:
The Prestige Shantiniketan consists of 603,869 m2 (6,500,000 f2) of residential, commercial and leisure areas contained in a community of 23 towers, parking garages and parks. This project took nearly five years to complete, and as time was running, the interior flooring needed to be completed quickly. ARDEX ENDURA was called in to offer fast-track solution.
CHALLENGES:
- 400,000 m2 (4,305,564.17 f2)
- Fast-track installation
- Limited time for underlayment curing
SOLUTION:
ARDEX ENDURA recommended ARDEX CL11 Commercial Leveling & Smoothing Compound be installed by Siddhi Coatings. Siddhi Coatings, a preferred ARDEX ENDURA installer, has attended ARDEX ENDURA product training and is trained on the ARDEX products installation. ARDEX CL11 can be pumped into place and receives most floor coverings in 24 hours. ARDEX CL11 also saved time as other trades could walk on the installation and continue their work in two to three hours.
To prepare the concrete slabs to receive ARDEX CL11, Siddhi Coatings made sure the slabs were clean of debris and any contaminates that could break the bond between the underlayment and the structural slab. Once the areas were clean and dry, ARDEX P 51 Concentrated Water-Based Primer and Bonding Agent was diluted with water and applied with a soft broom. ARDEX P 51 improves the bond between the substrate and leveling compound. ARDEX P 51 takes three to 24 hours to dry, minimizing the amount of down time on site. After the ARDEX P 51 was dry Siddhi Coatings pumped the ARDEX CL11 into place for a fast-track installation of the wood flooring.
ARDEX ENDURA and Siddhi Coatings were able to install all products within the required time- frame. ARDEX ENDURA Technical Service Department remained on site for the installation of ARDEX CL11 in 3000 residential flats to ensure a successful installation.

Installer: Siddhi Coatings – Mumbai, India
General Contractor: IJM (India) Infrastructure Limited – Hyderabad, India
Architect: RSP Architects (Alexander Architects Pvt. Ltd.) – Bangalore, India
SITUATION:
Constructed in one of Mumbai’s upcoming neighborhoods, Raheja Legend, a luxury residential tower, houses a parking garage. ARDEX ENDURA recommended ARDEX CPS Car Park System for the parking garage but the system required installation of a proper foundation. With a minimum amount of time for the project and a maximum thickness requirement of 20mm, ARDEX recommended the use of ARDEX A37 ‘7 Day’ Screed Cement to fulfill foundation requirements.
CHALLENGES:
- Fast-track installation
- Minimum allowed thickness of 20mm
- High-quality installation
- Guaranteed wear and tear protection
SOLUTION:
After ARDEX Technical Service installed a test area to demonstrate how to properly install the system, Construction Specialties took the lead with ARDEX on site to address installation questions.
Contactors cleaned the slab to solid concrete to ensure no bond breakers would cause an installation failure. A brush coat of ARDEX P 51 Primer mixed 1:1 with clean water and ARDEX A37 mixed 1:1 with 0-4mm sand was applied. ARDEX A37 screed was installed as an underlayment because it can be used indoors and outdoors and prevents problems in areas exposed to the elements. ARDEX A37 also can be installed quickly using a standard forced action mixer or a screed pump. It cures fast enough to open to traffic in just eight hours and can handle loads after one day. In areas where the screed required installation thickness of 20mm, installers had one hour of working time to make sure the requirement was met. Once the ARDEX 37 cured for seven days, the contractors could move to the next phase of the installation.
The final stage was the installation of the ARDEX CPS Car Park System, a multi-layer flooring system. Each layer of ARDEX CPS chemically reacts to create a strong modified polyurethane topping that provides superior protection and wear resistance. The first two coats of ARDEX CPS are a primer followed by an anti-slip grain blinder. After drying for 16 hours, excess anti-slip grains are removed. Contractors installed ARDEX CPS Wear Coat using rubber squeegees and flat trowels. Finally, the ARDEX CPS Top Coat was added with a flat trowel. Other contractors could continue working after only 24 hours. Because of the speed and quality of ARDEX products, the garage was ready to accept vehicles after five days.
While this installation used grey concrete, ARDEX CPS Car Park System is available in many RAL shades and is able to maintain consistent color because of built-in UV protection. ARDEX CPS is also water tight to prevent leakage to areas below and resists many common chemicals found in a parking area. With all these benefits in mind and the assistance of ARDEX Technical Support, ARDEX CPS is the best choice for installation success for parking garages or parking garage refurbishments.
SITUATION:
Customer was looking for easy to maintain, seamless, high abrasion flooring. Being a large area the job required to be completed with in the stipulated time frame.
SOLUTION:
Thorough scarification and groove cutting/filling were done prior to scrtach coat application of R 70 CP. Final topping was done and the area was handed to the customer.

SITUATION:
Customer was looking for easy to maintain, seamless, high abrasion resistant Epoxy flooring. Being a swiss manufacturer the customer was looking for a top class product and company.
SOLUTION:
With Team ARDEX ENDURA experience working with this client in other regions we suggested to use highly penetrative primer and sealer and topping with self smoothing epoxy. R 3 E,R 21 CE was recommended.

SITUATION:
This recommendation was for a renowned food industries Nestle Moga, Punjab, where heavy duty vehicular traffic, and steam cleaning requirement were the main requirements.
The project included a combination of new plants & floor renovation works to be done during maintenance shutdown period. Bigger thickness on the resinous floor is always a big challenges and problematic.
SOLUTION:
The system recommendations were made by professional segment and the same is well demonstrated to the client during the initial discussion. This led us to bag a huge order in world class premium food industries. Later was executed by our authorized applicator Construction Brite proofing. The applicator was under constant supervision from our central technical service department executive.
The applicator chalked down a programme in agreement with the client to ensure timely execution of the job & handing over of the floor with in the stipulated time
