FOSROC

High profile projects Excelling in its work around the lifecycle of concrete , environmental considerations , the characteristics of its products and the technological complexities of fusing engineering and chemistry has subsequently led to Fosroc receiving numerous large scale projects in recent years .
This has included beating numerous international competitors to the high profile job of delivering strong concrete to the Worli high rise tower project , being built by Samsung in Mumbai .
Comprising both residential and commercial entities , a specific set of performance characteristics were required , and as Fosroc has proved time and time again , it is these niche specifications which the company thrives on .
“ If you take the Burj El Arab Hotel in Dubai for example , it is built in the sea and has three layers of basement under water level ,” Ladurelli said . “ We gave them a waterproofing solution for that underground structure which after 10 years is still in perfect condition .
“ We also provide specialty coatings for structures like car park decking systems as well as providing a range of sealants which you ’ re likely to see in numerous airports at present .”
The scale of the projects being entrusted with Fosroc are epitomised by a $ 1.2 billion hotel resort and enormous casino being built in Macau , which has similarly required an extensive waterproofing job covering the size of several football pitches .
