Sorry to say this, there in nothing called MEDIUM YEILD from my experience. That was where my predicament started, with this so called medium yield. The first driller, our agreement was to drill 60 meters according to the report. He drilled between 38 and 40 meters and he hit water. Unfortunately I later found out his machine could not drill through the rock above the 40 meters. He stopped and told me that it was a medium yield. Everyday we tried, he pumped for half hour with low pressure and it stopped pumping. We did this back and forth for over 2 months arguing about pump and generator. He told me that the generator had no power to pump. He made over 30 appointments in between 2 months and only showed up twice. I finally made up my mind and told him I am ready to pay all over again and that was when he opened up, and introduce me to the driller. That could drill it with the right equipment, it took about 2 days to get the guys to the site. In 4 hours their machine blasted through the rock, hit the water aquifer. I stopped them at 70 meters, according to my average calculation between the two tests that I did. The total length of the borehole 70 meters pumping depth is 46 meters laid out pipes to the tower is about another 16 meters. The total pumping length is about 62 meters. We were able to pump 5000 liters in exactly 1 hour with high pressure pumping in every 4 hours . Enclosed is a result of the first medium yield pumping at 38-40 meters.

. If you want to know the actual depth of your borehole just check the number of 4/6" pipes your driller came with. Each pipe is about 10meters in length.

Hi learned colleagues,

on d brink of tilling my appartment. and being a patriot, lol, saw nicely made and not too pricey Nigerian product called PNT but i ve been discouraged they said it doesnt stand the test of time. that i should rather opt for Goodwill. how true is this assertion? thanks

Hello

I text you on bb yesterday but no reply. How do I get 100 tons of quarry waste?

twinskenny:

Nawa o all this money money borehole..my neighbour pay on 165k.
May be area dependent sha

Yes. Depend on the area o. I paid 150k in 2012 in Ado-Odo area of Ogun State but some said I paid too much sef... it was supposed to be 90-100k they said, but I was just too happy to get water instead of buying for the project. Still pumping water like Lagos Lagoon o. And only about 30 or 40 meters.. forgot exactly.

I recently bought wood somewhere in the east @ the prices listed below;

3x 4 x 12= 800

2x 4 x 12= 450

2x 3 x 18= 550

1 x 10x 12= 1300

Good luck.
My advise is you buy it yourself then negotiate for workmanship with the carpenter.

Do 2 x 3 come in 16ft or 12ft? Have bought about 450 pieces in Lagos but it has been about 12ft maximum @ N350 each. Have I been short-changed somehow? Kindly help clarify to avoid a recurrence pls.

erico2k2:

Some areas you have to appease the gods to get water from the ground ie Enugu state.

LOL at appeasing the gods

But its a serious thing getting water here in Enugu, you may spend N5 million on drilling without being sure you can hit good water.

I have installed a number of solar pumps. But if u want more information about solar pumps, you may contact "Drealgeesam" a nairalander too.

https://www.nairaland.com/1793602/solar-powered-borehole-full-construction


The ones I have installed were very efficient and pumps at an average of 50 litres per minute.
It requires a minimum of 190Vdc to power it. Some require as much as 300vdc.
You will require a number of solar panels in series to achieve the target DC voltage.
The cost of procurement is not friendly at all. Apart from solar panel cost, a very good DC pump is from 700k and above.

So in my own case, I simply used my 0.5hp AC pump connected to my 5kva inverter. Remember my PV strength is 4000w so I can conveniently accommodate the pump.

190v dc?...lol...i waka pass. u said ur ac pump is 0.5hp, any regrets?...i wonder why people install 1.5hp and above sumo pumps, is it cos of long piping/tank distance?
my tank stand is going to be about 30ft to 40ft, high , 1 storey building, and maybe ground piping of about 20 to 30ft, am thinking of sticking to 0.5hp or worst case 0.75hp ac pump to conserve energy

I was so surprised when I saw these guys spending above 100k for a borehole. Portharcourt is blessed o.

Just wondering if somebody happens to know the price of a bag of 4-inch nails in Lagos right now. Just a bit confused as the prices on https://www.set2build.com/market-prices show it as N6,500 in Lekki/Ajah, and someone just told me its N11,800 in Sango Ota!

Apologies for the error sir. The bag of nails in the market ranges from N8,000 to N9,000.

Thanks so much bro, i appreciate it, strange while the small difference in lenght will mean so much high price, like the 3x4 12ft 800 and 16ft 1800, really strange. Thanks a lot bro

It's a scam website,you are probably a scammer as well
The difference between retail price and company price of cement is about 150naira
If you get it from the depot,the difference is 80naira
Below is the screenshot from your silllly website

Water table in Port Harcourt is low... it's in the Niger delta/creeks. You can't dig without reaching water. Further inland towards hilly Enugu the water table is much much lower, hence you have to dig deep.

@segzy14 already answered your question. Meanwhile in Awka 18ft is what they have. Clearly from what i understand, the price is determined by the length (ft).

This is Embarassing also the nonchalant attitude of some people towards others when thier hard earned monies are at stake
This is how one president called some people %5,I thought thats the only time I will hear this word %5 now a workman on nairaland who has no regards for others is now saying among of his customers and potential customers are less than %5
Anyway its all good,thanks jossy26.Some people do not value reputation.Now I see why some people keep saying they aint doing nothing with builders on nairaland do we blame them

Quarry waste is top soil, do you mean StoneDust?

Elders statemen, please your advice
Client call me to inspect site for delivery, met with the engineer on site after much discuss, it is clearly obvious my client over trusted his engineer, my client never believed anything i said before the beginning of the project, i was not call for delivery, but now am called a permutation is called for.

Is it professional to leave the deal?
