Integral Crystalline Waterproofing System
- Are you currently specifying any integral waterproofing systems for below-grade concrete or water retaining structures ?
- Have you had to deal with cost overruns caused by failed waterproofing systems in past projects?
- How confident are you that contractors will not substitute lower quality waterproofing products during execution?
- For projects with basement and below-grade works, how do you typically handle cost estimations, especially in high water table zones like Lagos?
- What provisions do you make for waterproofing warranties or maintenance cost mitigation in your BoQ?
- Do you factor in potential downtime or legal claims arising from failed waterproofing in your risk allowances?
- Have you had to manage disputes between contractors and clients over structural leaks or failed waterproofing installations?
- Are clients asking for more durable foundation systems in response to rising groundwater issues?
- Would a waterproofing system that enhances the concrete mix itself rather than relying on surface treatments be of interest to you?
Dewatering
- Do you currently have line time items in your BoQs for pre-construction dewatering or ground water control ?
- Are your Bills of Quantities capturing the cost of managing groundwater during excavation (e.g., wellpoint systems, deep wells)?
- Would it help to have a turnkey specification and budget pricing for site-specific dewatering solutions from early design stages?
Competitive Advantage
For integral waterproofing admixture – Clients enjoy long term savings through which a QS can present value-engineering savings in the cost plan durability. The integral method eliminates the need for external membranes or post construction waterproofing thus helping the QS provide more accurate cost planning from day 1, avoiding hiding charges
In the dewatering aspects of a project, with technical partnership with us, can help provide detailed dewatering BoQs, turnkey specifications and budget pricing for site specific dewatering solutions at the earliest stages of the project.
