Chai , if the leaking continues , it will weaken & affect your Pop & that could pose a serious problem (I hope the leaking is not much!).

If it's just one sided, then it can be blocked.

- Parapet (casting since I have some granite on site already)
-Roofing (Gerrad)
-wiring
-tilling
-pop
Screeding etc till the end.


Kindly let me have your inputs guys, will be well appreciated.

Below is a picture of the plan and the building itself.

Leaders, i am also at the roofing stage and my engineer advised i used a minimum of 0.45mm long span. My roof is completely hidden( contemporary) and i seem to have a different view. Is it advisable to use a .40mm ? Here in Warri 0.45mm is 3,500 per meter while 0.40mm is 3100.

Good afternoon house, my name is David, I am a silent reader on this forum for a very long time. I really appreciate all the professionals on this forum for a good work and also all their contributions.

I have this question that I need to ask our professionals in the house in which I believe solutions would be provided.

I have a 2-storey building working on;
Ground floor --- Office place
first floor --Office place
Second floor --2 units of 3bedrrom flat

Ground floor has 7pcs of 1.5hp AC
First floor has 8pcs of 1.5hp AC

Second floor which is the residential apartment has 8pcs of 1.5hp AC.

Note: Note all AC are inverter type.

Total no of socket is 123
total number light LED panel light for offices 52
12w led recess light 16

For the residential apartment;
recess light 60
cooker 2
water heater 3

Now EKEDC said the building won't be connected directly to pole because of the size , they said it will require a transformer. They are asking me for the load.

Pls house help me look at the above breakdown help me out. My electrician don't understand all these . I will appreciate your input

Twinskenny Topsy23, Kolashongone, Rotetech,

Pls drop your comments here so that other people can benefit as well.

Thanks

Use the 0.45mm to give yourself some level of confidence from leakage.

How much is 30 tonnage if the site is located around Ibeju Lekki?

Welcome to the forum.

For this size of investment, you needed an Electrical Engineer (not an Electrician) to design the installation. The M&E drawings ought to have been stamped and approved alongside the other building architectural drawings. In a sane society, those drawings enter a repository that distribution companies use to plan for area demand growth and thereby avoid the frequent transformer/feeder overloads we have.

- If you don't know the size and distribution of the load, how have you sized your various cables and switchgear within the installation?
- How has the load been distributed across the various phases since you're likely going to need a 3 phase supply?

Anyway sha,based on the limited information above >> back-of-the-envelope calculation (while drinking and chillin' on a lazy Sunday evening so bear with me if any errors) ...

AC loads: 23 x 1.5hp = 34.5hp = 26KW
LED Recess: 12W x 76 = 0.92KW or 1KW approx
LED light panels: (assume 25w each) x 52 = 1.3KW
Cookers: (assume 2.5KW each) x 2 = 5KW
Water heaters: (assume 2KW each) x 3 = 6KW
Sockets: Assume 2 rings in each office and each apartment, so 8 rings in total @ 1KW per ring (assume some usage redundancy) = 8KW

Estimated total = 47KW

Suggest you need a 60KVA (or slightly bigger for future contingency) 3-phase transformer. The distco might likely step it down from 11KV.

Good day.

topsy23:


Good afternoon sir, Find below the load calculation based on the listed items above. But i included your pump since its not part of the list posted above.

The total KVA rating is 80KVA with the require diversity factors.

You need to give them this and have rest of mind. The building can be connected to 415V line since the total current demand is 112A.

Davidebun016:


Wow!!! Topsy God bless you for this calculations, i was thinking I will not get feedback on this forum not knowing that all the professionals are ready to dish out information without collecting dine.

Infact, your calculations are on point for you to arrived at 80KVA load. I have already contracted it to one engineer who is not on this forum and paid him 35k for the load calculations. He arrived at the same 80KVA you posted. That shows you are really good at what you you do.

Very grateful for your effort and information provided without hiding anything.

GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

Save my client some shortage yesterday... cable supplied to him was fake.. not the right length.

Did a measurement on them we only got 70m instead of 100..

Let's be guided.
