Comparison of Basement Interior Wall Waterproof Implementation
| Name | Material | Unit | Leak Detection | Labor Cost for Cement Priming and Smoothing | - | Application Thickness (mm) | Total | Comparison |
| Traditional Method | Waterproof solution/foam solution + 1:3 cement bonded sand, not completely waterproof |
m2 | 500~700 | 400+ | Cement bonded sand cost 130 per unit | 15~20 | 1030+ | Disadvantages: 1. High costs of leak detection 2. Long construction time frame 3. Composite wall required |
| Cost saving effective method Nino micro-crystal waterproof mortar (EEWH certified) |
Same life expectancy as cement, completely waterproof for over 30 years | m2 | 0 | 400+ | Waterproof cost 500 per unit | 15~20 | 900+ | Advantages: 1. No leak detection required, lowers cost 2. Greatly reduces construction time frame 3. No composite wall required |
Basement Project Cost Analysis
| Traditional Technique | ||
| Well Removal ⇒ | Leak spotting $500 ~ 700/m2 ⇒ | Waterproof additive with cement bonded sand priming and finish or 1:2 cement bonded sand priming and finish $600 ~ 800/m2 |
| Example 1: H O constructions - Feng Chia District HOOC B3 |
Leak spotting cost: 1.5 million (Pressurized injection) ⇒ |
Nino waterproof priming and finish $800/m2 (2000m 2) |
| Example 2: Z O constructions - Feng Chia District GOO store B2 |
Leak spotting cost: 800 thousand (Quick-dry waterproof powder + stopper) ⇒ |
Nino waterproof priming and finish $800/m2 (1090m2) |
| Cost-effective Long Term Technique- Nino Micro-Crystal Waterproof Mortar | ||
| Lay down foundation with Nino before removing well | Remove well after curing ⇒ | Nino finishes with no worries |
| Example 3: TU Group-Feng Chia District Boda Hotel B2 | Leak spotting:$ 0 ⇒ | Nino waterproof priming and finish $800/m2 (1242m2) |
