Thanks Sir, well available sir

Foundation Details:
The site is a bit prone to flood due to lack of drainage network and oyan dam. Also the soil nature is greyish soft clay. This kind of clay behave harphazadly when it is soaked with water when the water table is high and when it dries. We considered several options but we decided to take a well informed decision and we did soil test.
The report came out and we found out that the after the top soil it is clay all the way to about 6m before the layer of coarse sand . Also the report informed us that the clay is very soft and it has a high compressibility, there fore 7 meter pile was recommended. The safe bearing capacity is very high and also the clay also has it's own strength.
The consequences of high compressibility of the soft clay is that there is possibility of uneven settlement of perennial cracks as a result of anomalous behavior of the clay (expand during raining season and shrinks during dry season).

Now, the birth of Raft-pile foundation is to combine the strength of the clay at about 300mm below the ground level and safe bearing capacity of the pile. This will bring about less number of piles and moreso the piles will act as nominal pile and it is major purpose is to prevent uneven settlement and possibly structural cracks.

The foundation height is 1.7m so as to mitigate against flooding as much as possible.

A pics showing section of the foundation will be posted shortly

Engineer I beg where is this place called Makogi? You don't have to expose the exact location because of privacy. I never heard of this place before, I just want to have an idea if it's in Lagos.
