Mumbai International Airport Pvt. Ltd.

Flowcrete India has been involved in a major construction project at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, which has seen a second terminal, Terminal 2 (T2), built on site in order to cope with huge increases in aviation traffic.

The new four-level terminal sits on an impressive 439,000 square metre plot and can accommodate over 40 million passengers annually. The structure has been applauded for its ability to combine state-of-the-art design and architecture with infrastructure and operational efficiency all the while ensuring environmental sustainability recognised through its LEED® GOLD Certification.

Following a rigorous tendering, evaluation and trial process, Flowcrete India’s polyurethane car park coating system, Deckshield ID was selected for application across all of the facility’s intermediate decks with a second system, Deckshield UV specified for peripheral areas exposed to direct sunlight.

Deckshield is a flexible, crack-bridging and chemical resistant polyurethane traffic deck coating range, which has been specially formulated for car parking structures. Deckshield systems are extremely low in VOC content and provide a durable, watertight and hardwearing finish designed to protect the concrete structure.

In total, 154,000 square metres of Deckshield ID and 7,500 square metres of Deckshield UV were installed on site, representing one of Flowcrete India’s largest projects to date. The material was laid in a range of colours including dark grey on drive ways and light grey on parking bays with coloured navigational markings and signage using Flowcrete India’s Deckshield Linemarker.
