The engineer contracted to do the upper floor had to start recasting the decking in a bid to
1. Level it!
2. Reinforce the decking all over again..

Rotech did not for once call to ask the progress of the decking even when he knew fully well the work he did there was trash!

Pictures below show the points at which the decking was braced from below.. To reduce the vibration using H beams
bigtree, rotecch77 is coming, this will be sorted soon baba

Hmmm, this is serious, decking is a very critical stage.
@biigtee, hope the latest engineer assured you that the decking will work fine.
If not, it may need to be abandoned so as to avoid accident today or later in future.

grin Na upgraded baba lati .Sorry for your loss
BiigTee:
If you have given rotech77 a job before.. Call another engineer to investigate the structural integrity of that building.. Perhaps he is just another baba lati charading as a professional!.. He doesn't care about ur building as far as he has collected his penny!

U must have a death wish if u contract someone who is ok wit ur decking bouncing like an overhead bridge..

DO NOT WORK WITH ARBO contractor! DO NOT WORK with ROTECH77..

Engineers.. This still hasn't gotten to the worst part..

As the upper block work progressed.. The seasoned engineer on site noticed that the decking Rotech77 of Arbo contractor cast was sloping in various areas of the house and the slope was in some areas 10 inches.. That means.. If u put 9 coaches on one side of the building it equaled 10 coaches on the other side... I called rotech and told him about this and he vehemently disagreed that this could not be possible.. Even tho he was not on site when the decking was cast
. He put a junior colleague to oversee the job and that junior colleague in turn put another junior colleague to supervise a job as critical as decking


Kai... So unfortunate. Even good contractors are now cutting corners and cheating clients in this covid economy. Sorry sir.

what is the size of your land.

60 x 120 or 50 x 100?

Is it waterlogged or dry land?

Do u want to use 6 inches or 9 inches?

With this little calculation below you can help yourself, if you can't, I can help u with the calculations.

The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks, i have been using this method for years without any mistake, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 50 blocks.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks from one pillar to the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns or pillars )

90 tons of Sharp Sand or dagbolu.

Let me know if this help ma

Can you all see the amount of concrete that was cast to level the decking the a professional claimed to have supervised! No, look at it and tell me why I should feel happy! 10" of thick concrete! Even thicker than decking which is usually 6"
