THE KEY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN THE WATERPROOFING INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA

-
Construction chemicals are one of the niche segments from the damp and waterproofing industry. Construction Chemicals are specialty products that are used in structures to increase their life, and also to impart additional protection from environmental hazards. Certain chemical products also help in minimizing the quantities of cement and water generally required during  construction. In Nigeria, there are large number of buildings which are more than 40 to 50 years which needs renovation, consequently, therefore  construction chemicals  should be used in renovations of these existing buildings . Additionally, the tropical climate, and the inferior construction materials used by builders also cause many of these building to need repairs much earlier. Sub-standard construction chemicals have been used in a large number of  construction projects. The new construction projects market is also expected to increase the demand for construction chemicals. The construction market is expected to grow at more than 30%p.a. for the next few years. There is no published data available indicating the exact growth rate of the construction market. The Nigeria construction chemical market is highly competitive and fragmented, with large numbers of small and specialized suppliers. In addition to small distributors who import these chemicals. This market is likely to grow at the rate of around 5– 10% p.a. in the next few years. Curtis Construction is highly specialized in serving it's specific market segments. We generally supply a few product types of different technology/application methods,quality and price to solve specific construction needs such as waterproofing, leakages or fireproofing. In general, the distribution of each particular product involves installation/application and most importantly a   on product performance. As a result, it is necessary that distributors of construction chemicals specialize in solutions to specific construction needs.A variety of construction chemicals are used in most large-scale construction projects as well as projects of special design and engineering, depending on their specific needs.These materials include concrete admixture, surface treatment, waterproofing, grout, floor topping, coating, sealer and floor hardening. Therefore, the potential demand for construction chemicals expands to cover the creation of infrastructure, high-rise buildings and industrial plants. In addition, construction chemicals also cover the renovation and repair of such large-scale projects. In fact, renovation and repair should make up a substantial volume of construction chemical sales in Nigeria. Construction chemicals comprises of a number of different products such as cementations, cement admixture, cold-applied products, hot-applied products,membranes, acrylic, epoxy, resin, and sealant /adhesive.

THIS IS A WARNING ABOUT BLACK MOULD _A DESTROYER OF HEALTH _AND ADVICE REGARDING IT! Black mould is a silent killer.  It destroys the immune system.  Be careful to eradicate it from your home. Black mould makes people sick.  From respiratory diseases to sinus pain to sleepiness to pain in joints and, as some researchers have found, on to MS, cancer and more. Kurt and Lee Ann Billings wrote a book called “MOLD: The War Within” that is recommended. They are survivors of Hurricane Katrina and began researching mold and chemical exposures after their family became gravely ill from resulting toxicity.

NIGERIA'S NEEDS TO KNOW THIS.

Why do we have moisture stains and weeds on the body of buildings? What was supposed to have been done that was not done? We do not give attention to construction details in this part of the world. There is what we call rising damp, especially when building in a water-prone environment, where the level of water to the surface of the ground is very close. We call it high water table level. It is easier for the water to rise through a process we call capillary action into the fabric of the wall. The wall will now absorb the water and it will keep rising up to the space where the people are living and because when the water is in the wall reef, the process of drying up and taking up water simultaneously will give rise to what we call algae growth, either externally or internally, causing green coloration on the wall because of dampness. That will give room to what we call sick building syndrome. A situation where when you are in a house you feel like the heat is so much that you ca...

CHALLENGES IN THE DAMP AND WATERPROOFING INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA.

With increasing prospects of infrastructure development and project implementation  the Nigerian da mp and waterproofing industry is  lagging behind . With vertica l ia sation increasingly becoming the mantra across Nig eria , repair and redevelopment has evolved as the need of the hour for the ageing and deteriorating structures. According to a study on international standards by Global Research Market, if the average life span of buildings  is more than 100 years globally in Nigeria it  is barely  20-25 years. There is a serious requirement for intervention from  high end construction chemical solutions to prevent the deterioration of structures and to strengthen new construction activities. Thankfully enough  there is now urgency in the building business  inculcate best practices  in terms of the usage of the right construction materials   along with the  proper dosage and  techniques  to build healthy struc...
