Waterproofing of 65% of buildings in China needs to be renovated after 6-8 years
Time:2016-04-08
On November 6, a public lecture hall on waterproofing of construction projects sponsored by Sichuan Civil Architecture Society opened in Chengdu. According to experts, 65% of newly-built houses in China will have different degrees of leakage within 1-2 years after they are put into use. Leakage accounts for 65% of real estate quality complaints. 65% of the waterproofing projects of buildings need to be renovated 6-8 years later. That is, the famous "Three 65% Shame Waterproofing Industry" report shows that the waterproofing industry has a heavy mission. With the theme of "protecting building safety, improving quality and promoting development", this activity aims to arouse the attention of the whole society, especially enterprises in the waterproof industry, to building waterproofing, improve the quality of building waterproofing and promote economic development through a series of theme activities. The waterproof market is hard to be optimistic. "From the perspective of market feedback, the waterproof industry is generally not taken seriously, the industry concentration is low, and low-level repeated construction leads to overcapacity," experts at the meeting told this website. "What is more embarrassing is that a large number of non-standard products are flooding the market, price-lowering competition, non-specialized construction is subcontracted layer by layer, and some pseudo-innovations and concept hype lead to building leakage". The views of the above-mentioned experts are confirmed by the data. According to the "2013 National Building Leakage Survey Project Report" released by China Waterproofing Association and Beijing Zero Market Research and Analysis Company, of the 2849 building roof survey samples taken, 2716 showed different degrees of leakage, with a leakage rate of 95.33. Of the 1777 underground building samples, 1022 had different degrees of leakage, with a leakage rate of 57.51. "The most common problem of ordinary people in 3.15 quality complaints about construction is water leakage, and the quality complaints received by the society reflect many waterproof problems," Xiang Lingzhen, vice president of Sichuan civil engineering and architecture society, told the website. "This means that strengthening quality supervision, standardizing production and construction management, and adhering to technological innovation is the inevitable way to improve the market competitiveness of waterproof enterprises". Waterproof industry is in urgent need of optimization and reorganization in recent years, with the gradual attention of the state to the waterproof industry, has issued a variety of policies for the waterproof industry, the industry is developing from chaos to norms. Xue Qiong, general manager of Sichuan Oriental Yuhong, said that the development pattern of the industry from weak to strong, from "not valued" to "not to be underestimated" has been established, and "the industry is facing an important moment of transformation and upgrading, optimization and reorganization". This website has learned that there are two main reasons for the frequent problems in the field of waterproofing: first, the materials are unqualified, and there are still many fake and shoddy materials on the market, which confuse consumers with low prices; second, the construction is not standard, the building structure is complex, and improper construction of detail nodes is the main cause of water leakage. And how to find an effective way to crack has become the key, and it has also become a problem that the entire industry needs to crack. In addition, some industry experts suggest that in order to achieve the standardized development of the whole industry, two points need to be done: first, gradually attach importance to it at the national level, strengthen management, and achieve industrial standardization and eliminate backward production capacity through policy-driven; second, strengthen self-discipline in the waterproof industry and promote the transformation of the whole industry from extensive development to standardized development.
