    Croatia

The waterproofing project at the entrance area of the Garden Mall in Zagreb, Croatia, was an important part of the renovation work carried out in August and September 2022. The aim of the project was to redesign the main entrance to the renowned shopping centre and create an aesthetically pleasing and calm oasis for visitors through the introduction of greenery.

 

In focus: Protecting concrete from water 

Waterproofing played an important role in permanently protecting the concrete in the entrance area of the Garden Mall from moisture and humidity. The project was implemented by the client and investor Supernova in collaboration with a designer, and MC-Croatia was selected as the waterproofing supplier due to its technical expertise and proven solutions.

 

The main challenges in this project arose from the transitions between the old and new concrete sur- faces that were created during the concreting pro- cess. These construction joints required a solution that was both flexible and durable enough to pro- vide long-term protection against water and moisture ingress. The waterproofing work was further complicated by the interruptions during concreting.

Waterproofing with MC's polymer-modified thick bitumen coating

For the waterproofing work, the client and planners opted for Nafuflex Easy Tech 2, the polymer-modified thick bituminous coating (PMBC) from MC-Bauchemie. High-yield, sprayable PMBC provides a high level of protection against water penetration and is also highly flexible and crack-bridging. Thanks to the powder component, the coating also dries quickly, accelerating construction progress. As a result, Nafuflex Easy Tech 2 can be applied quickly and efficiently. The product is solvent-free, meeting modern environmental standards, and provides reliable protection against ground moisture and non-pressing and moderately pressing water, as well as splash water and capillary rising water. Thanks to these properties, the existing joints between the old and new concrete surfaces, as well as the horizontal and inclined surfaces of the shopping centre's newly created green oasis, could be reliably waterproofed.

 

Sown, sealed and delivered

Thanks to the successful use of Nafuflex Easy Tech 2, the waterproofing work at the main entrance of the Garden Mall in Zagreb was completed on schedule. The flexible and crack-bridging coating now permanently protects the concrete surfaces in the entrance area from water ingress, so that visitors to the Garden Mall will be able to enjoy the newly created green oasis for a long time to come.
