We are used to all these theatrics bro. I did more than all these on Lekki Gardens Building Collapse on this same thread in 2016.

Just like Lekki Gardens, the approval was not for the number of floors built.

Were they sleeping when 6 new floors were added? Can 6 floors be added to 15 floors in 4 months?

RIP to the dead.

What is your argument now??
Blame game is well known behavior by authorities ..I dont know how long it takes to add 6 floors.they are currently admitting that on air...Man been arrested and offcourse the end we may not know...he would be released soon like other rich men

Ebonyi has so many solid minerals yet unharnessed and explored. Having an Airport would create an enabling atmosphere for many things including industries to thrive in the State. God bless SouthEast. God bless Ndigbo.

It can't.
It can never be substituted for wrought iron used in reinforced concrete.
Note:
We don't just use any iron for reinforcement in concrete. The name of the iron used is called wrought iron.
Why?
It has a high tensile stress: when acted upon, it does break at a go, it stretches instead (bends).
When that bamboo dries inside the concrete, it will turn to some thing like galvanised pipe.
If there's a reason for it to break, it will let go easily.
This is a topic 4 anoda day.

Well so many of the mud houses were built with bambo as support.....recently i was looking at a mud house which was built 1974 was later modernized; cement plastered late 90s.....it was just brought down..the bamboos were still intact ...
I am not saying it can act as replacement or substitute but bamboo been used for years....
Check out this video and many others on YouTube....they are using reinforced glass fiber rebar....

FRAUD ALERT!!! SKUP008 ( Mr Aghaje Afeez), a stamp floor artisan

My fellow Nairalanders!!
Beware of this dishonest, fraudulent, not trustworthy man who do not keep to written agreement

I contacted Mr Agbaje ( SKUP008 as Monika) on 1st September 2020 after viewing his thread and works on Nairaland. He was contacted to do a decorative stamped floor for my house in my hometown

Due to my experiences, I ensured we had a written signed agreement stating all his verbal promises including a ONE YEAR WARRANTY on the floor job stated before I gave him the contract

I kept to my financial obligations. Skup008 did his own part but before the job warranty date elapses, the floor started falling apart, cracking in multiple places

Gently, I contacted him about the issues with his works, initially he denied it was out of the warranty period , I refreshed his memories with our conversations on WhatsApp and the written agreement ( Thank God for experiences with dubious artisans) . He chilled and called these floor cracks “ expansion “ , which he said, was normal with all stamped floors . I disagreed with that fact and refused to be bamboozled by the use of a deluded terminology

I told him that I have seen stamped floors of more than 5yrs old with no such issue so I believe the multiple cracks are due to the shitty job he did and he has to come and repair it as per our written agreement. It is TIME that differentiate between a good job and a bad one

Later, he sent me a long list of materials to buy including paying for transportation for two people to come and rectify this issue… I declined spending a kobo more, after millions of Naira was paid initially for this job

As expected with arrogant and fraudulent artisans, he decided not to respond to my messages again, prompting me to commence my action from the forum I met him

I just wanna use this medium, that I met him , to warm potential clients to be very careful dealing with him so that they do not fall into wrong hands as I did

So sorry this happened to you...do you mind share more info on this ??
Pictures or even contract(if you don't mind).I have a lengthy post on warranty and guarantee...something that may help others ..

tmt is produce with iron ore, not the rods produce with the helping of scavenging irons or rusted irons, and they pass SON test (Standard Organization of Nigeria) they are like the imported ukraine iron rod in the standard, just like they windows fabricators we normally says tower Standard for aluminum windows, but in actual sense this tower Standard is not tower aluminum product in Nigeria but the imported aluminum, they have close to or equal to tower aluminum in Nigeria.

The regular local rod like LCI and TOP steel too are like tmt, they pass SON test for BS:4000 they produce with imported iron ore, but majority of locally made rod are products of scavenging irons, damage cars, trucks.

Pickers or scavengers sources their materials for them to produce, at the end, the irons they will produce can't be compare to irons produce directly with iron ore.

Let us know if this help u

I believe the word you are looking for is recycled metal/steel...

Single corrugation (normal)
And
Double corrugation (metra)

Finally, which of the 2 options above is good for flat/slant roof?

Thanks in advance.
I dont know the prices but if you get either best aluminium or first aluminum colortek or even TOWER colorkote.... 0'55 should do the work...I understand you have steel roof truss....offcourse there are many other brands. .i mentioned my old work where I know they have uncompromised quality ....

So here’s how I configured mine. The IP cameras come with an Network Video Recorder. The NVR is plugged into my POE switch which sits behind a firewall. The POE is plugged into my MTN wireless router. This doesn’t provide DHCP, my POE switch does that.
Each IP camera gets an IP address from my switch. So using a video software and behind my firewall I simply type in each cameras IP in a browser.

To view it externally I open a port.

Long story short, your IP camera is a network device when configured properly.

What a setup....a simple a multilayer switch and a Lan/mtn would have been enough..

I stopped sharing my jobs a long while ago because I know some people will never be happy seeing such. Wetin I fit do?

The truth is I do my best to deliver my jobs within given timeframe. And that means I’ll give the job 100% attention during the period.

If I move, to get me is very difficult because there are several other things waiting on me.

Those who knew me knew when I’m at work, it’s different grin I do everything and anything to get my job done without compromise. I can’t say the same if I delegate my function.



_______

There’s no issue bro even the man at work just called me this morning to let me know their plan for the new week after giving me update of what was done over the weekend.

The guy was complaining bitterly about how much I’m paying to do the job because it was way above what should be paid daily. I told him all I’m after is to get the job out of my way so I can concentrate on other things and freely share projects that can benefit mankind like the one below.

If I may ask you simple questions or maybe no so simple:
1.why was this job delayed this long and again
2.what is left day job or two ??

3.Why can't this be remedied before another public ridicule ?

I have been reading pages like I always do to understand one thing that caused the misunderstanding I cannot find it...

Exactly.

Buffer and Security Inventory.

What JIT does is to reduce Inventory Holding cost. It cannot be totally reduced to Nil in the practical sense.

Except you control your entire supply chain which is near impossible.


It reduces over production and waste since you are procuring on order...buffer and security inventory means if anything goes wrong customer would continue to work without having immediately stop...

A system needs to be robust...one of requirements we have is suppliers must have two machines of each for Odette and EdI goods production so as if one breaks down you have the other...offcourse this is what you pay for

There is something called Leadtime ,Takt time and cycle time ....

Sounds nice.. You know the problem with Just-in-time method of production It actually wastes TIME.

One disappointment in your "supply chain" and the whole work for the day or for the week is "f**ked up".

The only other option is to have 2 - 3 different suppliers for same item. But there's nothing like keeping inventory in suppy chain management!!!

Just in time requires buffer and security inventory....can work efficiently if you have a stiff and robust system together with your suppliers...I work In a place where that works round the clock...
