With the high initial
investment of the greenroofs, various stakeholders will benefit from the
enhancement of the greenroofs with the installation of waterproof concrete as
it simplifies the design, building and maintenance processes.
The unique specialties of
the waterproofing concrete yield positive outcomes. Waterproof concrete has permanent
built-in waterproofing which cannot be tampered or worn out as compared to
green-roof membranes during or after the construction phase. Minor defects such
as cracks can be identified and reconditioned easily. Defects can be rectified
by adopting the polyurethane grout injection repair to fill up the gaps from
the bottom deck and it does not damage the plant life. Application of membrane
can be eliminated thus shortening the drafting process. The cost per square
foot for installation not only decreases but it also lowers the overall
construction cost.
The idea of adopting
waterproof concrete helps elevate the prospects of different group of people.
For the designers, the detailing process is shortened and hence constructions
can commence earlier. Construction is also simpler, efficient and inexpensive
hence increasing the value of the property for the owner.
All in all, waterproof concrete is not only durable, but cost effective, less risky, environmentally friendly, having a high investment value in the long run and having a shortened duration for construction.
