David Ball Group

Our Story
Waterproof Concrete. Watertight Concrete
OUR STORY
Sustainable materials for the built environment.
David Ball Group plc embraces a 130 year legacy of materials innovation dedicated to the
advancement of quality and performance in the challenging arenas of construction and industry.
Engineering materials are our business.

For almost half a century, David Ball Specialist Sands has set the bar in the preparation and
supply of British standard and unique, ultra high quality sands for process testing and
manufacturing. Quality that has travelled worldwide to meet the most exacting applications.
Durable construction is our strength.

Research & Development is at the heart of what the Group does, harnessing the power of
chemistry to enhance the long-term performance of built structures with a dynamic brand
portfolio.
Concrete innovation is our passion.

In the 1990s, the performance of integrally waterproof concrete was taken to a new level by
David Ball Group plc as it reformulated PUDLO, the worlds first commercial concrete
waterproofing admixture introduced a century before. Re-engineered around modern
architectural needs, its enhanced capabilities came with the first and still unmatched
guarantee of the completed concrete structure.
From PUDLOs early use in the pioneering sanitation systems of Victorian London, its success
story continues at the cutting edge in projects like Londons Crossrail and the celebrated Dubai
Fountains.
Sustainable progress is our commitment.

While being the worlds most used building material, modern concrete is not recognised as one
of the most sustainable. Todays cement and concrete industries have a consistently impressive
record for carbon reduction marshalled by a strong commitment to their environmental
responsibilities.
A major milestone in this sustainable legacy is Cemfree, a totally cement free alternative to
conventional concrete and a ground-breaking addition to David Ball Group plcs portfolio. With
the ability to produce structural concrete without the use of Portland cement, this revolutionary
material is the result of years of dedicated development by the Groups research scientists.

PUDLO Technical Information

& Certification
PUDLO AND CONCRETE DURABILITY

Durability
Durability is the ability of concrete to resist weathering action, chemical attack, and abrasion
while maintaining its desired engineering properties. Different concretes require different
degrees of durability depending on the exposure environment and the properties desired.
Concrete ingredients, the proportioning, performance, placing and curing practices, and the
service environment determine the ultimate durability and life of the concrete.
The use of PUDLO CWP causes the reduction of the ingress of water within concrete through
flow under pressure as well as absorption.
The impermeability (waterproofing) is the single most important performance

characteristic with respect to preventing the ingress of the aggressive
substances within the concrete, and thus the biggest influence on long term
durability.
The benefits of using PUDLO CWP modified concrete thereof are discussed in more detail
below.
Permeability
Permeability is a flow property of concrete which quantitatively characterises the ease by
which a fluid will pass through it, under a pressure differential.
Capillary pore size and pore interconnections are important factors affecting permeability of
concrete. Pudlo modified durable concrete exhibits reduced capillary pore size and increase
the tortuosity of pore networks by densifying the microstructure and physically blocking the
pores to reduce the movement of moisture due to hydrostatic pressure.
The reduction in permeability and the associated decrease in the rate of the ingress of the
aggressive substances within concrete is one of the most important attributes in relation to
enhancement of the durability of concrete (Hewlett, 1998).
Absorption
Absorption is a process by which concrete takes in water by capillary action. Factors
affecting absorption are moisture gradient, capillary pore size and pore interconnection.
The hydrophobic properties of Pudlo significantly reduce the capillary suction. Thus modified
by the addition of Pudlo has very low water absorption values. -
www.pudlo.com
Diffusion & Chloride Induced Corrosion

Diffusion and Chloride Induced Corrosion is a process by which water, vapour gas or ions
can pass through concrete under the action of a concentration gradient. This, in the case of
for example chloride ions can cause corrosion of the reinforcing steel.
Pudlo modified durable concrete effectively protects the steel reinforcement from corrosion
induced by both chloride ingression and carbonation process by reducing the diffusion rate
of the aggressive substances by modifying the pore structure of the hardened concrete.
Sulphate Attack
Sulphate attack is characterised by the chemical reaction between sulphate ions from the
ground water with aluminate and calcium component of hardened Portland cement. The
reaction leads to the formation of expansive gypsum and ettringite. This causes expansion
leading to cracking, allows further ingress of sulphate and accelerates the degradation
process.
By reducing the permeation properties, Pudlo makes concrete water resistant, therefore
Pudlo treated concrete is more resistant to sulphate attack.
Pudlo to provide durability

The unique properties of Pudlo densify the cement paste by reducing the porosity and pore
sizes. This enhanced microstructure reduces the permeability and diffusion properties of
Pudlo modified concrete making into a high performance and durable concrete. It also
significantly reduces the absorption of concrete by providing hydrophobic lining in any
remaining micro pore walls, thus reducing capillary suction of pores.
By reducing the permeability, absorption and diffusion into concrete, Pudlo CWP makes the
concrete considerably more water resistant with a fivefold reduction in permeability relative
to the control concrete. Such attributes are key factors for minimising steel corrosion,
providing greater chloride and sulphate resistance and thus a more durable concrete and
resistance against other physical and chemical attack.
PUDLO to enhance compressive strength

Beside enhancing durability and water tightness of concrete, PUDLO CWP improves the
compressive strength of concrete significantly. Unlike other hydrophobic waterproofing
admixture where concrete normally lose compressive strength, the densified microstructure
of PUDLO modified concrete enhances its mechanical properties including compressive
strengths providing ease of mind to concrete producers and contractors alike. This additional
improvement of strengths eliminate any needs of the addition of extra cement which may
require for other type of admixtures.
www.pudlo.com
PUDLO to assist on slump and workability retention

One of the unique properties of PUDLO modified durable concrete is to help prolonging the
retention of slump which is extremely useful in extreme hot weather concreting condition in
the Middle East. This unique characteristics help both ready-mix concrete producers and
contractors to produce, deliver, place and consolidate concrete with right consistency
resulting into well compacted, homogeneous concrete matrix, a key requirement for durable
structure. As Pudlo modified concrete generally do not experience rapid loss of slump,
therefore the quality of delivered concrete remains assured as the risks of any deliberate
attempt to add unauthorized water are eliminated.
PUDLO to produce stable dense microstructure

PUDLO CWP produces additional hydrates and physically fills the interstitial spaces between
cement particles and capillary pores providing a dense microstructure. PUDLO produces the
first and final defence against any ingress of water which often carries dissolved salts to
attack hydrates and initiate steel corrosion. Pudlo CWP does not leach out under extreme
hydrostatic pressure as it has already been reacted to form stable hydrate structures. Pudlo
CWP is the best performing admixture on the market.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

DOSAGE AND MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
The optimum dosage of PUDLO Cement Waterproofing Powder to meet specific requirements should always be
determined by trials using materials and conditions that will be experienced in use.
As a guide, normal dosages of PUDLO Cement Waterproofing Powder should be in the range 2 3% by weight of
cement. For example, 1kg PUDLO CWP per 50kg of cement.
To obtain maximum benefit it is recommended that the water cement
ratio should not exceed 0.40.
With the correct dosage of PUDLO Cement Waterproofing Powder
determined, the required amount should be added to the mix,
preferably with or immediately after cement addition.
The concrete or mortar produced must be thoroughly mixed until
homogeneous.
APPLICATION AND USE
It is essential that good concreting practice is performed and maintained at every stage of the application process.
Concrete modified with PUDLO powder should be placed without segregation, fully compacted and correctly cured
in accordance with up to date industry guidelines. Failure to adhere to guidelines and methods of good concrete
practice can cause segregation and under compaction and may result in moisture or water ingress.

PUDLO CASE STUDY YAS MARINA VICEROY HOTEL
PUDLO waterproofs Yas Island Abu Dhabi premier hotel

The Yas Marina Viceroy Hotel is the perfect combination of style and function. The
construction of this iconic five star hotel straddles Abu Dhabis Formula 1 racetrack and
is cloaked with an illuminated gridshell to provide energy efficiency and create a
striking landmark.
The development is a five star signature hotel built alongside and over the Yas Marina
Racing Circuit, developed by Aldar, designed by New York's Asymptote and built by Al
Futtaim Carillion LLC with the support of more than 70 specialist subcontractors from
around the world.
PUDLO Waterproof Concrete
www.pudlo.com
E: sales@pudlo.com
The jewel-like design includes the gridshell as an atmospheric-like veil over the two
towers and a link bridge that passes above the Formula 1 track. The breathtaking
architecture 'performs' as both an environmentally responsive solution and a visual
spectacle and event.
The gridshell contains 5,096
individually sized panes of glass
and 2,100 tonnes of support
steel. The 5,389 custom-made
LED lights can be programmed to
provide stunning illumination &
optical effects.
Over 15,000m3 PUDLO modified
waterproof concrete has been
used in the pile-caps, basement
raft, retaining walls, tie-beams, bridge columns, slabs, tunnel base and tunnel walls of
both Tower A & Tower B. PUDLO was also used in the basement car park water tanks.
The project was completed in just 89 weeks; working 7 days a week and 24 hours a
day.
The total floor area is 105,000m2, delivered through a frame of 68,000 m3 of concrete,
with 17,500 tonnes of reinforcement used in the concrete frame.

Contractors: M/s. Al Futtaim Carillion.

PUDLO CASE STUDY DUBAI FOUNTAINS
Worlds longest serving water-proofing admixture completes

concrete formula for world class Dubai Fountain
When Emaar unveiled the Dubai Fountain, it had created yet another visually
dynamic feat of engineering to enrich Dubais iconic landscape.
The world's tallest performing fountain, it is a dazzling fusion of water, light and
music designed by California-based WET, the creators of the Fountains of
Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Powerful mechanisms shoot jets as high as 500 ft (150 metres), equivalent to a
50-storey building, keeping 22,000 gallons of water airborne at any one time.
Over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors create a palette of over 1,000 different
light displays synchronized with classical, Arabic and world music.
Set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake in downtown Dubai, the fountain sits
alongside Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and The Dubai Mall, one of the
world's largest shopping and entertainment destinations.
www.pudlo.com
E: sales@pudlo.com
Like its illustrious neighbours, the fountain is the product of world class
engineering and the spirit of innovation and excellence which have made Dubai
one of the worlds leading tourism destinations.
An important part of the technical achievement that sustains the fountains
dazzling displays, day after day, is hidden well below the water.
Structurally, Dubais masterpiece consists of five circular fountains and two arcs
contained by a 275 m (900 ft) artificial lake. Below the bed of the lake are fully
submerged, interconnected tunnels containing critical fountain operating
equipment, control rooms, and miles and miles of cable.
The concrete formulation for the tunnels, including the all-important waterproofing specification, was a particular challenge of the project. Intended as an
enduring attraction for Dubais retail heart, longevity and reliability were
paramount in the materials engineering and casting of the concrete.
The concrete mix for the tunnel structures, cast using some 22,000 m3 of
concrete, included integral water-proofing provided by PUDLO admixture.
PUDLO Inspectors from both the UK and UAE visited the site during the initial
stages to consult with members of the project team from Hyder Consulting and Al
Futtaim Carillion. Technical aspects of the final concrete formulation were
resolved as well as the design of the pour - aspect ratios, layouts and
reinforcement - for the best outcome.
PUDLOs local Inspectors supervised the project on site throughout, from quality
checking the concrete batching plants to overseeing all the pours. This level of
technical support and inspection was one of the reasons why PUDLO was used
to meet this prestigious projects rigorous performance demands.
The lake fountains were inaugurated in May 2009 by His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE
and Ruler of Dubai.

Londons first
inner-city
Integrated
Waste
Management
Facility
PUDLO concrete has been used in

the construction of mechanical
biological reactors at Southwarks
Integrated Waste Management
Facility (IWMF) which have been
designed to withstand chemical
leachate and high process
temperatures.
Veolia Environmental Services was
awarded the 25-year 60M PFI
contract to deliver and operate the
groundbreaking facility for London
Borough of Southwark. Main
contractor, VolkerFitzpatrick, undertook
the project as a design and build
working closely with consulting
engineers, Royal Haskoning.
Located on a former gasworks on the
Old Kent Road, the site also includes a
materials recovery facility, household
waste, reuse and recycling centre, and
waste transfer station. It handles up
to 200,000 tonnes of material per
year, processing all of Southwarks
household waste as close to source

Process vapour is extracted via four

concrete bio-filter chambers, cast
insitu in strategic locations on the
tunnel roofs. Chemical leachate is
conveyed to a substantial concrete
underground tank, measuring
approximately 10m by 20m by 5m
deep.
The concrete for the tunnels, biofilters and storage tank needed special
formulation to cope with the effects
of chemical leachate and condensate
aggravated by temperatures
potentially as high as 85C.
The presence of slot drains in the

spigot floor slab of the composting
tunnels ruled out the use of a coating
to achieve chemical resistance, so this
needed to be built into the concrete.
Although the addition of microsilica to
the concrete would have provided
some of the required chemical
resistance, it would not have
waterproofed the structures.
Highly resistant to the corrosive
effects of chemicals, PUDLO concrete
waterproofing system was specified
for concrete in all of the critical areas
of chemical exposure within the MBT
plant. BBA approved, it promotes the
integral development of important
performance characteristics in
concrete, including water- and
chemical-resistance, without the need
for supplementary membranes or
coatings.
The bottom slab and kicker of the
process tunnels were constructed in
normal concrete. PUDLO was
included in the C40 concrete used
above for the movement joint and
spigot floor, as well as for the walls
and roof.
Royal Haskoning used a finite element
software package to model the
structure in three dimensions with the
temperature gradients applied. This
allowed them to calculate stresses
due to thermal effects, and to predict
the expansion and contraction of the
concrete to help design an effective
solution.

strike of falsework and formwork
potentially problematic. The use of
PUDLO in the concrete mix did not
impede striking of formwork and
allowed tunnel formwork to be struck
at the earliest opportunity helping with
speedy progression to follow-on works
Inspection played an important role in
ensuring PUDLO elements were
correctly prepped, poured, compacted,
cured and struck in line with quality
procedures. Given the high operating
temperatures within the tunnels,
supervision of compaction was
particularly important to ensure
thorough removal of air bubbles.
The type of mix used (DC-4m) had a

high cement replacement content,
around 66-80% ggbs. This slows down
the rate of strength gain especially in
the early age of the concrete.
PUDLO test results at 7 days were
well above 30 MPa where figures of
around 15 to 20 MPa would have been
expected using the DC-4m mix with no
admixture. At 28 days, tests were up
to 50-60 MPa for C40 concrete.

Home to Arsenal Football Club since

2005, the 60,000-seat Emirates Stadium
set a tough engineering challenge with
its imposing 27,000m2 roof and
substantial trusses.
While not quite on the same scale,
relocation of the local waste and recycling
centre to make way for the 357 million
new stadium at Ashburton Grove posed
technical challenges, too.
Opened in 2004, the three-storey 60m
facility provided a brand new, multipurpose waste transfer and recycling hub
for the London borough of Islington and
the North London Waste Authority
(NWLA).
Run by the NWLA's waste contractor,
London Waste Ltd, the centre in Hornsey
Street has a 401,500 tonnes capacity and
is licensed to process 275 tonnes of
waste per hour. It was built to handle all
household waste from Islington as well as
a proportion from neighbouring boroughs,
Camden and Haringey, and has scope to
process 50,000 tonnes a year of
recyclable waste.
Multi-functional
The multi-functional centre
accommodates a range of facilities over
three levels.
The ground floor and inner basement
house a transport depot for Islington
Council with workshops, vehicle wash
area, paint spray facility as well as car
parking. The basement service yard
includes compactors receiving waste via
chutes from the main waste hall above,
as well as a weighbridge and contained
disposal of street cleansing debris.
A control room, canteen and further
weighbridge office are located on the first
floor, alongside the main waste transfer
hall which is split into three distinct areas.
The first is a large tipping apron with six
compactor chutes for conventional,
compactable waste, alongside tipping
bays for other domestic waste. A second
area accommodates tipping and bulking of
recyclable waste, including glass, paper,
cans and textiles as well as bulky items.
The third is a segregated civic amenity
and recycling areas for householders to
deposit materials and items they cannot

recycle through kerbside collection.
With a large proportion of waste handling
located in the tipping hall on the first floor,
the concrete slab faced tough
performance demands of exceptional
characteristics.
The floor needed to withstand substantial
wear and tear from heavy vehicles and
plant as they tip and shovel waste, and
off-load and shunt laden skips and
containers. The project team also required
good resistance not just to water but also
to the chemical residues - mostly acidic leached by the waste.
Concern
The tipping hall presented three particular
areas of concern, as Ian Flewitt, a partner
at the consulting engineers, Price &
Myers, explains: While no waste is
loaded or stored directly on the floor of
the tipping apron, we had to protect
against spills which potentially might
have chemical content from, for
example, car batteries.

In the tipping area for glass, cardboard

and other recyclable waste, the floor is
subject to heavy loads, abrasion and
impact from plant scooping and moving
material between pens.
The third area, the domestic waste
transfer centre, includes a deposit for
batteries, so again, there was the
possibility of the floor being exposed to
acid residues. There is also a physical
element with skips being loaded on and
off lorries, and scraping the floor as
they are pushed into place.
As well as being engineered for use by all
types of waste vehicle, including bulk
articulated vehicles, floor performance
criteria also needed to account for future
flexibility. The facility is designed to
accommodate different recyclable fractions
and recycling bays are moveable to adapt
to future collection systems, incurring
additional wear and tear.
Sound waterproofing of the first floor slab
was also essential to protect the
workshops, plant room and parking areas
below from wash-down water used to
clean the first floor slab.
Ian Flewitt said: PUDLO were the only
people who came back with ideas for a
solution and who were keen to spend
time working on a mix that would
provide all the performance
characteristics we required.
He added: They provided us with very
good upfront technical service in
developing and refining a design for the
mix. This was followed by further
service support inspecting the mix, the
batching and attending site to oversee
that it was placed correctly.
Final mix
The final mix included fine steel fibres to
improve abrasion resistance, polypropylene
reinforced fibres for impact resistance, and
the addition of a pozzolanic compound for
acid resistance. These were carefully
formulated and tested to ensure the
resulting gains added to the water-proofing
performance of the PUDLO additive.
Since the application was unique and
charted new territory in terms of concrete
additive formulation, there were no set
criteria for performance. The project team
needed to see as much gain as possible in
the characteristics required so that they
could confidently validate the engineering
and adopt the innovative mix.
PUDLO carried out painstaking formulation
and testing of the mix design at microstructure level, looking at the potential
problems of acid leachate penetration and
arriving at a pozzolan content that would
provide effective defence. The sample
demonstrated high resilience to chemical
attack, proven by ensuring the free lime
(calcium hydroxide) was physically bound
and converted to calcium silicate.
The use of fibres to create impact
resistance is well-known, but enhancing
concrete to counter abrasion is far less

common.
A sample of the special formula was cast
and evaluated for abrasion by assessing
the rate of loss of thickness subject to a
laboratory scrape test (using Taber
analysis). Testing showed a three-fold
increase in abrasion resistance over
ordinary C40 concrete.
Alternatives, such as a traditional
waterproof mix with an applied powder on
top as used for warehouse floors, would
not have addressed all of the performance
issues as neatly as the PUDLO solution.

There was a limit on headroom,

points out Ian Flewitt. So it was an
advantage to incorporate the waterproofing and other protective properties
into the structural slab. A conventional
slab with screeded protection on top
would have involved extra costs and
time, and a build-up of finished level
that would have lost us headroom.
World famous
The application was also a first in PUDLOs
130 years history. The world-famous
additive has risen to challenges of waterproofing and durability in environments as
extreme as the Middle East, and
structures as high profile as the Royal
Albert Hall and the 2012 Olympic
velodrome. Islingtons waste transfer
project provided a new landmark in
PUDLOs evolution, pushing the envelope
of its chemistry to bolt-on new and
unprecedented performance attributes.
In 9 years of operation, the floors are
standing the test of time and meeting all
expectations.
Ian Flewitt comments: The concrete
floors are performing well, and there is
no evidence of any serious abrasion or
any evolving problems.
Among other things, the technical success
of the design has done much to reassure
the local community who had been
concerned about how well the slab and
multi-storey design would work in what
was a progressive solution not seen
before.
The project underlines how resourceful
design, which is bold enough to push the
envelope of materials engineering, can
overcome tough construction and planning
constraints in urban redevelopment.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US?
Christopher Stanley, Technical Director of

Unibeton Readymix said: Unibeton is the
largest producer of concrete in the
Middle East. Our reputation depends
very much on the quality of concrete we
supply. Pudlo is without a doubt the best
and most reliable concrete waterproofer
in the market place, and we always
recommend its use to our clients for
waterproof concrete work. Its high
quality and reliability is the reason why it
has now been in use for more than a
hundred years, and none of the many
other available waterproofing products
that we have tested can in any way
match its performance.
A PUDLO inspector attended both the

preparation phase, concrete pours and postpour curing operations to make sure they
were carried out in line with its on-site
quality system, says Conor Hanlon of
McGee Construction. It also offered us
technical assistance when details needed
reworking to suit in-situ conditions.
Incorporating waterproofing in the concrete
eliminated the labour, logistical
complexities and health and safety
challenges of installing sheeting,.

Peter Goring says: Very close attention is
always given to the construction materials
in use and the test procedures that prove
their reliability and performance. But when
you are working on a national monument
like the Royal Albert Hall the sense of
responsibility becomes more acute. We
were also assured by the presence of the
PUDLO site inspectors during and after
installation.
