This thread is open for Civil Engineers and other related fields who are in highway doing what you know how to do best.

I want to know, does your company use rainmakers in projects? or is there any chemical (science) that suspends precipitation?

In 2007-2009, I noticed something, when Julius Berger was constructing Eleme Junction Interchange here in Port Harcourt, the rains didn't pour as usual. It is either falling everywhere except at Eleme Junction, or the duration of rainfall is minimal when compare to other areas in the state. It was like the dry season was stretched some folks believed JB actually controls the rains.

Is it a fact or fiction?

Discuss!

Even if its possible, I see no reason why they would do that as Road construction is best during rainy season...
Edit
Don't mean constructing when its raining. Best and durable roads are achieved during rainy season, due to possible repetitive filling and compaction, although it will in cure more cost, but if its safer to achieve that best result, then safety comes first.

Have nothing to say, so permit me to throw my mat and see if I can learn something here.

I have heard of such but why do rain disturb the chinko people CCEC durring the construction of badagry high way?

Are you sure road construction is best constructed during the rainy season? Since wheather conditions can affect the dimensions.

RCC does the same thing here too in Port Harcourt.

If you are referring to road expansion and contraction during hot and cold whether, those are factors taken care of during the design irrespective of the season.

Water control is very crucial in road constructions, it is one of the most important factors considered. If the road is constructed during dry season and by chance the movement and possible effects of water is not properly "predicted" and taken care of, the road will be as good as "finish", The end(destruction) starts the following season(rainy). So its best during the rainy season as during this time you would be able to see and eliminate possible future effects of water that may probably leads to destruction.

Absolute spot on. But do you believe in any voodoo involve in suspending or is it just ones imagination?

Stopping rain is d most minute of things that julius berger does. They even capture spirits n deities dat attempt to hinder dia construction work.

Like seriously?!

I have heard this so many times but i don't know if it is true or not.

Its fact not fiction although it is easier to have artificial rainfall through cloud seeding, than to stop rain.
This is what Chen Zhenin, vice president of the Chinese Meteorological Administration said about rain disturbance and weather modification technology during 2008 Beijing Olympic ''If you're talking about small rain, you can eliminate it, but if it's going to be raining cats and dogs, there is nothing man can do about it''

This thread no be thread to read in the middle of the night with all these una contribution o!!! Well, I know say spiritual things they real when with my naked eyes , I saw when they were removing things from a human body, even a part of a room like that. That day I talk say I won't blink my eyes so no one would decieve me but yet I saw things beyond my comprehension This thread no be thread to read in the middle of the night with all these una contribution o!!!

rain rain go away,come again another day..little children want to play..

Nice thread.
I seriously need clarification in that regard.
Waiting patiently for experience comments!

Big fiction.

I don't even know what to say sef but no knowledge is a waste sha

Hmmmm

lilprinze: .

Oga, u too dey follow children do this kain thing?

Danjunior: H

so you dey do this kain thing?

dont really know if construction companies hire dem. But i know during raining season in my state(Edo),all these rainmakers make alot of money to hold d rain during ceremonies. And wen dey do it,u will not see a drop of rain, but it will rain else. Upon d money dey make dey are always dirty and always die prematurely. dont really know if construction companies hire dem.

omoredia: !??

any need for this?

even house builders use rain makers wont be suprice if construction companies use it

Fiction.

spot on
I once heard berger captured the troublesome njaba river snake before they completed that bridge on Anambra Owerri expressway

englishmart: so you dey do this kain thing?

U know me from anywhere?
