We were contracted in December 2020 to provide a solution for the effluent treatment plant at the new Harris bottling plant. The system we recommended involved the following steps.
Surface preparation.
Repair of concrete surface.
Application of first coat of protection.
Application of construction mesh.
Application of last coat of protection.
Stage 1: Surface preparation: This involved grinding to remove surface laitance to expose the good concrete below. This will aid in increasing bonding and exposing unsound concrete.
Stage 2: Surface Filling:
We used of MasterBrace ADH 2200 to fill all depressions and damages on the surface. Some of the advantages of MasterBrace ADH 2200 are its high strength, non-slump, impact-resistant, and good chemical resistance.
Stage 3: Application of first coat:
We applied the first coat of Masterprotect 180 which is a protective high build epoxy resin coating specifically developed to protect concrete. Masterprotect 180 is durable, non-toxic, has high chemical resistance, high-temperature water resistance, and is a waterproofing agent.
Stage 4: Added a construction mesh / Fiber mesh.
The purpose of this was to reduce water loss from the concrete as well as enhance the structural integrity.
Stage 5: Application of second coat:
For the final stage, we once again applied Master protect 180 for a final coat.
Finished Effluent treatment plant with MasterProtect 180 coating.

Svista Uganda Limited is the leading installer of Ucrete systems in Uganda. We are certified applicators and work together with our manufacturers and clients to deliver long lasting high performance flooring solutions. With reference to food and beverage production floors, Ucrete has been installed from breweries, soft drinks production, and within the meat, fish and chicken processing industries.
Our first mock up room with Ucrete UD200 was at Coca Cola Namanvein 2018.This was in an aggressive area with sugars on the floor and forklift traffic.
In 2019 we installed Ucrete MF at Coca Cola plant in Namanve
The performance of this area led to Ucrete being selected for further flooring upgrades in 2019. And with these upgrades, our client benefitted from our systems this way;
2019. Production line Floor upgrade at the Coca Cola plant in Namanve
1. Rapid installation time. We are able to lay a full production floor line in one weekend, this limits the downtime and the production can resume. Clients are able to immediately benefit from our new installation.
2. Reliable proven record of performance. Many Ucrete floors in aggressive environments are still in operation many years after planned service life. Additionally, with retopping, Ucrete floors can serve you for over 50 years.
3. Long reliable presence in the market. With production floors in Uganda, Ucrete has a rich history. You find Ucrete floors in diary production, hot kitchens, breweries, and soft drinks production floors. This year we have installed different systems in cold storage facilities, airline production kitchens and sugar production in Jinja. Our different profiles are available to you for all site requirements from dry and wet conditions, foot and mechanised traffic and other site specific solutions.

“It is unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money—that is all. When you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the things it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.” — John Ruskin.
Developed more than 30 years ago by BASF (Now Master Builders Construction Chemicals) as the answer to the most demanding industrial environments, Ucrete technology is the original polyurethane flooring solution that provides a powerful layer of protection for both new and existing concrete surfaces. It has a high energy absorption capacity of about twelve times that of a 50 Newton concrete.
It is dense and impervious and used in industries that require the highest level of hygienic standards. Ucrete is accredited for use in pharmaceuticals and food processing facilities mostly because it’s anti-microbial, washable, non-toxic, and resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals.
It’s also resistant to high temperatures and thermal shock. It can be used over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 130 °C. And a regular 9mm Ucrete floor can withstand discharges of boiling water.

In order to achieve the right degree of slip resistance, Ucrete is available in a range of surface profiles from smooth to high textured floors and these are available in matt or gloss.
Ucrete is an ideal flooring solution because it stands out from the rest and that’s we at Svista recommend it to our clients especially those looking for the highest hygienic standards and those in the toughest industrial environments.
This year we at Svista have been privileged to lay Ucrete flooring systems for both HOT INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN (Newrest) and COLD STORAGE WAREHOUSES. (Yokuku).
Upgraded the cold storage warehouse floor at HMH Rainbow (YoKuku) using Ucrete UD 200 at 6mm density for the main floor.
