My oga, this is how building construction textbook like “ivor seely” and the likes explained it. But in practice only few of this you will see.

Maverrick Project by NextHome, 2015

O waa Alright.
My ongoing gigantic project need it. Most especially the Hall section

In areas like Lekki and environs, it is unusual to see this type of filling because the whole area has been sandfilled with sharp sand which is also readily available in large quantities there.

n3xt:


Though the type of sharp sands used in Lekki and other non-cohesive fill materials are less liable to shrinkage, we must understand they are more liable to being flushed out by water flow when it continues to percolate through a foundation.
So we cannot overlook the influence of water content on different types of soil when choosing fill materials in different sites especially in waterlogged areas.

It’s the best way to build BUT then 🌚

Make I no talk.

I’ve had to investigate a foundation in Lekki area before and it was shocking to see that the soil used to fill the foundation has subside under the slab in less than 2 years after the project. I remember I share the video here on this topic .

Reason: Poor Compaction

We too dey rush our builds in these days of Buy and Build in one month. We hardly give time for natural compaction.

If it's the other way i.e down feed to up - feed ,that means you need to constantly put on your pumps using electricity which increases the cost of your household electricity.

Well, I didn't rule out the importance of using good sharp sand compacting well especially in raft foundation...but then it's expected for ground floor slab to stand well even if filling collapse in the future hence necessity for well reinforced ground slab just like suspended slab


I once raised alarm sometimes last year a builder here.( Which is even chatting on this page now ) did a foundation even very close to where we are working now with just wire mesh



Our slogan: we do structures right... it's not mere saying

It's a indeed [ A watchword!

Meanwhile, casting of ground slab in progress

I hope some people are paying attention to the bolded.

Build your slab on fill like it is a suspended slab.

Good afternoon sir.....I want to make an enquiry

Like how many bags of Pop cement can be use on 180p/sqm measurement

Atleast the average amount of bag.

Thanks

I think this is something a high pressure dc pump can fix and interestingly they’re more efficient than the energy guzzling AC pumps.

I have DC pump and I’ve never had to worry about energy consumption.

walexProjects:


You're not getting it.

Why do I need to have a put on my pump when my tanks are already at an elevated level?
Even with a DC pump,you will still need starting current to start your pump.
Which is very high in DC motors.

But the solution been proposed has remove the need to constantly put on your pumps when water is needed.

Hi!

My name is Dima. I'm working on digital product to bring effectiveness and transparency into construction projects. We already have solution which are adopted by several companies, but we are lack of market info to perfect it to construction companies needs.
I'm looking for experts from construction industry who can have a small talk with me about processes in their construction companies.
Your expertise will be a priceless help.

Please reach me out any way in my signature.

But RBC ( wire mesh) is WELL recommended for ground slab in all building book and in practice also
