6 inches Solid

I thought it's impossible before now because of load bearing, it's risky though

Yes
Here are more complex type

Hmm, this is too complex for residential building. I think hotels nd big estate can go into this because to get all these fittings and maintain them on the long run would be an issue. Like I said, it's a very upright nd unique water system but it's unlike the normal one we are used to in residential building everywhere.

No whaala, u r on point. It's a very unique mech technique.

see sample pics this is just the beginning

Hmmm, this may not last oo it's just a simple method of using a pvc clamp as a reducer thereby increasing the pressure.
Nevertheless, this is not 12 inch pipe as u claim oo. Kudos to you guy, ur head dey there!

You want me to go deeper on water supply System both in domestic and industrial system. Well it what I know but I will just explain it in simpler form

You see high rise building and sky scraper water supply system connection is a bit critical.
This is it l, most of these high building mostly have there water tank setup on ground floor and a well design transfer pump will be installed to do the job plus booster pump in each section of the building ( the explanation is much and the sep up is critical than what I can explain fully here.)
Again some also do have GIANT WATER TANK with about 12inch diameter pipe from the height of about 100ft with about 100bar pressure to supply any building around the municipal, this system doesn’t need any booster pump to get pressure in any building around bcs all building around will be tapping the water from the 12inch pipe with 1 or 2inches pipe to supply such into the building
Imaging the pressure you wi get from 12 inches pipe to 1inch pipe.
Here is the standard system
You can try visit any 4-5 star hotel or any high riise building you will get my explanation beta
Or any water cooperation around


It’s a whole lot of work ooo

Pls am interested in this kind of system, pls how possible is it to pass water tru 12 inch pipe to 1 inch pipe? What could be the method use in achieving that pls?

Local iron sir. Total cost is 2m sir (Though We bought most of materials in bulk and in excess to saves some naira cos of the Price of materials skyrocketing everyday)

This is not a child's play oo! Well-done chief engineer. It's well in with the current situation of building materials in this country oo.

But how safe is the local iron? Because their thickness is not full. The last time I checked, local iron 16mm is 11mm in reality when measuring with caliper.

The 2m including workmanship?

2tonnes of iron bars which comprised of 8mm,12mm and 16mm.

Thanks Chief engineer, more wisdom! But this is massive oo. Local iron or TMT all through? What's likely the cost for the total slab?

Enskynelson:

That is not outstanding anymore if it is negative. If it is negative, it means you have earned more than required.

Are they going to add it to our cgp or it's going to be discard
Education / Re: National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) Students by Akerewe(m): 10:12pm On Dec 23, 2022
Enskynelson:

I thought you understood this but this last question...

TCE is not a mark... TCE (TOTAL CREDITS EARNED). It is the sum of the units of all courses you have passed.

Am not talking of TCE nd making reference to outstanding credits which is -8 or -6 as the case may b
Education / Re: National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) Students by Akerewe(m): 8:38pm On Dec 23, 2022
Enskynelson:

The -5 shows you have exceeded the minimum (30) required by 5units (35) which is OK and not a problem.

. thanks for the insight, are they going to add it to the total score later or it's going to be discard?
Education / Re: National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) Students by Akerewe(m): 7:05pm On Dec 23, 2022
Enskynelson:

Check very well. It should be -5 and not 5.

Yes it's -5 but the TCE is already 30
Education / Re: National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) Students by Akerewe(m): 6:53pm On Dec 23, 2022
Enskynelson:

There is minimum requirements for graduation. For instance some PGD programmes require minimum of 30TCE (Total Credits Earned).
If you are able to earn 28, outstanding credit will be 2. This implies that u need to pass at least a 2unit course before you can meet up with the minimum requirements for graduation.

This is not the case here, the minimum required credits is 30. The person is having 35 credits currently and the outstanding credits is 5

no sir

Then the intending buyer of this gate should try to measure the width of the gate from the specimen, then we can arrive at a reasonable price since u refused to tell use the number of pipes used?

michlins:
what you see there is 2 by 1" pipe and 2" for framing. This is upgraded burglary proof not a gate

Sure it is, but the price at 300k is on the high side. U guys can talk better or price but it might fly at 150k base on material price.

Can u tell us how many hollow pipe used for this gate?

Coiner:


My bro. I'm even surprised. A welder I asked said 300k. Reason I brought it here to asses the market value.

300k is too much for this kind of see through gate, the hollow pipe of 5.5 meters itself (2mm) thickness is not up to #6,000 currently. So how many hollow pipe used for this particular gate?
It might not fly at rate 150k
