Waterproof coating service in Sitarganj

The groundwater table in the Terai around Sitarganj is high, and it rises further in the monsoon. For factories in SIDCUL Sitarganj, that means below-ground structures are constantly under water pressure. Lift pits, pump pits, cable trenches and basements take in water. Raw water sumps and fire tanks leak outward in the dry season and let groundwater in during the wet season. Effluent treatment tanks face both water and chemicals. Waterproofing here has to work against pressure from the outside, not just keep water in.

Lift pits, pump pits and trenches

These small below-ground spaces cause outsized problems. A flooded lift pit puts a goods lift out of service, a wet pump pit damages motors, and water in cable trenches affects electrical systems. From inside, we:

1. pump out and clean the pit
2. seal active leaks at cracks, joints and pipe entries by injection
3. apply crystalline waterproofing to walls and floor, which works within the concrete against outside water pressure
4. finish with a cementitious waterproof coating where extra protection is needed

Surface paints on their own get pushed off by groundwater pressure.

Raw water sumps and fire tanks

Sumps and fire tanks leak at construction joints, wall-floor corners and pipe entries. After draining and cleaning, we repair cracks and honeycombed concrete, seal joints and pipe entries, round off corners and apply a waterproof coating. Drinking water tanks get potable-water certified products. Fire tank work is coordinated with the plant's safety team so fire water remains available.

Effluent treatment tanks

ETP tanks in auto component, food and chemical units handle effluent with varying pH and chemicals. They need chemical resistant linings chosen for the effluent, rather than general waterproof coatings.

Timing in the Terai

Groundwater is lowest before the monsoon, from about March to June. That is the best time to work in pits and below-ground structures, because there's less water pressure and less inflow while materials cure. Surveys during the monsoon are still useful for finding leak points.

Planning a distant job

Sitarganj is a longer trip from our Roorkee base, so we plan to cover the plant in one mobilisation:

• share a list of leaking pits, tanks and basements, with photos
• we propose a scope and sequence
• one site visit confirms conditions and quantities
• work is carried out together, scheduled around shutdowns where tanks are involved

If neighbouring units in Rudrapur or Pantnagar have similar work, combining jobs helps everyone's schedule.

FAQs

Our lift pit fills with water every monsoon. Can it be fixed permanently?

In most cases, yes, with injection and crystalline waterproofing from inside, ideally done before the monsoon when groundwater is lower.

Can a fire tank stay partly full during repairs?

The area being repaired and coated must be dry, so the tank or compartment needs to be emptied. We plan this with your safety team.

Which coating suits an ETP tank?

A chemical resistant lining selected for your effluent, not a general waterproof coating.
