Fest Ghana Limited — Case Study Portfolio 2026
These are real projects, real materials, real outcomes. No stock photos. No exaggerated claims. Every case study below documents an actual Fest Ghana Limited installation on a Ghanaian building — the diagnosis, the specification, the application, and the result.
This portfolio is designed for architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, contractors, real estate developers, facility managers, and procurement officers evaluating Fest Ghana Limited for institutional, commercial, or government projects. Use these case studies as reference for your own project planning.
The Three Numbers, Stated Plainly
Before the projects, the specification. These figures apply to every job in this portfolio and do not vary:
| Term | Fest Ghana Limited | Contractual meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Workmanship warranty | 3 years | We return and remedy defective installation at our cost |
| Manufacturer material warranty | 3 years | Defective coating replaced free of charge |
| Design life | 20 years | Engineered service life, correctly installed and maintained. Not a warranty. |
We state these separately because the distinction matters at tender stage. A bid quoting a "20-year warranty" on waterproofing is quoting design life. No coating manufacturer operating in Ghana underwrites a 20-year warranty, and no contractor can honour one. If a competing tender shows a warranty longer than 3–5 years, ask for the underwriting document.
Portfolio Overview
Projects documented in this portfolio:
- 8 detailed case studies with photos, materials, and results
- Coverage across Accra, Tema, Kumasi, Madina, Tantra Hill, Kasoa, and Kpone Katamanso
- Systems including polyurethane, fleece-reinforced membrane, and specialty applications
- Building types: residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, filling station, and public building
Case Study 1: Concrete Roof & Wall Waterproofing — Kpone Katamanso
Project: Comprehensive residential waterproofing on a home in Kpone Katamanso, opposite DPS International (Delhi Public School International).
Diagnosis: Homeowner wanted proactive protection of entire building envelope before serious rainy-season damage developed.
Solution: Full concrete roof + exterior wall waterproofing with single-component polyurethane liquid membrane (2-coat application). Continuous membrane transition from roof to walls treated as most critical detail.
Materials: 15 × 10kg buckets of polyurethane = 150 kg total, over 370 m².
Verified material rate: 150 kg over 370 m² at two coats = 0.41 kg/m², or roughly 24 m² of finished two-coat membrane per 10kg bucket. QSs can use this figure directly for take-off on similar substrates.
Result: 370 m² total surface waterproofed in 3 days. 20-year design life. 3-year workmanship warranty.

Case Study 2: Reinforced Parapet Waterproofing — Madina, Accra
Project: Failing parapet wall on a residential building in Madina causing repeated internal water damage on top-floor units.
Diagnosis: Original parapet upstand only 100 mm high, no fleece reinforcement at internal corner, hairline cracks from thermal cycling.
Solution: Removed failed coating, applied primer, installed fleece-reinforced polyurethane membrane with proper upstand detail.
Result: Zero leaks through two full rainy seasons. 20-year design life.

Case Study 3: Concrete Gutter Waterproofing — Tema Community 10
Project: Leaking concrete rooftop gutter causing intermittent water penetration into ground-floor commercial space.
Diagnosis: Multiple failed patch repairs over 8 years. Underlying concrete substrate cracked. Original waterproofing paint had degraded.
Solution: Full gutter strip and rebuild. Applied polyurethane coating with fleece reinforcement at all corners and outlets.
Result: 20-year design life. Fest Ghana Limited maintenance contract in place for annual inspection.

Case Study 4: Sump Pit Waterproofing — Kasoa Filling Station
Project: Groundwater ingress into fuel dispenser sump pits at an active filling station, threatening fuel contamination and NPA compliance.
Diagnosis: High water table (Kasoa location), original waterproofing failed at construction joints, hydrostatic pressure exceeding coating capability.
Solution: Negative-side waterproofing with crystalline cementitious system + polyurethane top-coat. Waterstops installed at all joints.
Result: Pits sealed against groundwater. NPA compliance maintained. Zero downtime during application.

Case Study 5: Concrete Floor Slab Waterproofing — Tantra Hill, Accra
Project: Waterproofing of a large flat concrete floor slab on a new residential property in Tantra Hill, North Accra.
Diagnosis: New-build concrete slab requiring protection before rainy season. Concrete is porous — an uncoated slab passes water regardless of thickness.
Solution: Two-coat polyurethane liquid membrane, applied in perpendicular directions. Crack filling and butyl tape at all penetrations.
Materials: 14 × 10kg buckets = 140 kg.
Result: 20-year design life. Warranty transferred to owner at completion.

Case Study 6: Metal Roof Gutter — Fleece-Reinforced Membrane Installation
Project: Metal box gutter on IBR roof system in Greater Accra. Multiple leak points along gutter length.
Diagnosis: Bitumen tape patches had cracked. Silicone sealant had failed. Underlying metal showing early corrosion.
Solution: Cleaned and treated metal. Applied fleece-reinforced polyurethane membrane across entire gutter length with proper transitions.
Result: Fully sealed gutter and structural protection of the metal substrate. Note that service life on a metal gutter is governed by the condition of the metal beneath, not by the membrane — the 20-year design life applies to the coating, not to corroded steel.

Case Study 7: Fish Pond Waterproofing — Ghana Aquaculture Project
Project: Tile-lined concrete fish pond leaking, threatening aquaculture operation.
Diagnosis: Tile grout joints failed. Concrete substrate had hairline cracks from ground movement.
Solution: Removed tiles. Sealed cracks. Applied fish-safe polyurethane coating rated for potable water contact. Re-tiled.
Result: Pond returned to service. 20-year design life. Aquaculture operation resumed within 2 weeks.

Case Study 8: Standard Concrete Roof Protection System
Reference: This case study documents Fest Ghana Limited's standard concrete roof protection system, with performance data from installations across Accra.
System: Two-coat polyurethane liquid membrane on primed concrete substrate. Fleece reinforcement at all penetrations, corners, and drainage outlets. Reflective top-coat for UV protection.
Result: 20-year design life, backed by a 3-year manufacturer material warranty and a 3-year Fest Ghana workmanship warranty. Reference installations available for site visits by prospective clients.
