Engineered bamboo is a low cost product manufactured from bamboo .

It is designed to be a replacement for wood or engineered wood.

Engineered bamboo comes in several different forms, including bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo, which has three times the structural capacity as normal timber and is defined and regulated by the ASTM International Standards.


Engineered bamboo has been used as paneling, vehicle beds, concrete formworks, lightweight building construction and even for shelters after the 2004 tsunami.

In comparison to the woods that have been traditionally used, a number of benefits and drawbacks have been identified. Lower cost, especially when replacing wood that would otherwise have been imported, is a key advantage.

Further benefits include greater hardness and shape retention, especially in high temperatures.

Interest in bamboo for construction continues to grow as focus shifts towards reducing the environmental impact and embodied energy of the built environment. Bamboo in its natural form is a cylindrical pole, or culm, and is part of the grass family.

The production of bamboo products in utilises the whole culm, with different sections used for various manufacturing processes. The use of the entire culm is highly efficient, but within the individual manufacturing processes, the material use efficiency decreases, although waste material is often used for energy.

Of particular interest is the use of bamboo culms for boards, which can be easily compressed or laminated to form larger sections. The process of manufacturing bamboo boards in China began in the 1970s and has increased in production through industrialisation of the manufacturing process.

China leads in production and export of bamboo-based products; export is mainly to Western countries and Japan. The Chinese processes for manufacturing two bamboo-based products, bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo, are shown in Figure 3. Bamboo scrimber, also known as strand-woven or parallel strand bamboo, is manufactured from crushed sections of the bamboo culm, which are coated in a resin, compressed and then heated to cure the resin. The term scrimber originates from a timber-based product that was developed in Australia to utilise small-diameter material that maintained the longitudinal direction of the fibres. In contrast, laminated bamboo is manufactured with strips of bamboo that are processed to form rectangular sections, which are then laminated to form a board. Comparison of the material input and output in the production of a product can be described as the production efficiency. In timber, van der Lugt (2008) estimates the efficiency of sawn timber as approximately 30–40% of the original volume of logs, with the remaining material accounted for in losses due to processing.

For bamboo, the production efficiency varies by manufacturer and is approximately 80% for bamboo scrimber and 30% for laminated bamboo (van der Lugt, 2008).

Also an orthotropic material, bamboo has varying strength and stiffness in the longitudinal, radial and tangential directions. Bamboo’s strength is found in the longitudinal direction through fibres within a lignin matrix, which makes it strong in tension and compression.


Key Benefits

100% rapidly renewable bamboo material.
Green lumber material for building projects.

Manufactured using energy saving cold press process.

It is stronger and more durable than most other hardwood and only takes 5 years for bamboo to grow to maturity as oppose to other types of hardwood that requires 40 to 50 years to grow.

Can be milled and work like hardwood.

Raw bamboo is prevalent in the south south region of Nigeria and with the international export market for Engineered Bamboo reaching $12 Billion in 2014 alone this is an opportunity to invest and partake in the agricultural revolution of the federal federal government.

The war in corruption has started.

4th December 2015

Justice Bilkisu Bello Aliyu of the Federal High Court, Yola, Adamawa state on Friday handed 10 years imprisonment to sentenced former Commissioner of Local Government Affairs John Elias for defrauding Adamawa State government of the sum of N51.5 million while in office.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned Elias along side two others who were discharged as well as a company owned by Elias on four count charges of fraud.

Justice Aliyu said the judgement will serve as a deterrent to public office holders who may want to divert public funds. For personal benefit.

"I hereby sentenced the first convict, John Babani Elias to 10 years imprisonment on count 3 and another 10 years imprisonment on count 4 but the two sentences will run concurrently," Justice Bilkisu Aliyu ruled.

"In addition, the first convict must return/refund the sum of N51.5 million to Adamawa state local Government joint account fund from where it was stolen and diverted by him and his company," she said.

The judge also ordered the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to wind up Al-Akim Investment Limited and have its assets forfeited to the federal government of Nigeria.

Why is no one talking about the "others". We need names....

It actually is legal. Its in the 1999 constitution. Study the part on local governments.

veraponpo:
We should not equate government position with suffering, the same way we should not equate it with life of opulence.

Do we expect the commissioners to ride in second hand cars? Many of them are not poor as a person. That is why I laugh at Ben Bruce campaigning against first class/ business class flight for ministers. Do you want Fashola or Amaechi to sit in economy class? Quite unreasonable. how much is it- while economy might be N15,000 from Lagos to Abuja and Abuja to Lagos, first class might be N43,000. Are you saying those ministers cannot afford such?

What I need from them is performance and transparency.

Shut up if you can't use you brain for what it was meant for.

What is the market price for these vehicles and the fact that they are buying multiple units further discounts can be gotten.

Ask for a current price list from Toyota Nigeria Limited and you will know the Prado was inflated by over 5m

And what of the people who depends on those waters for livelihood even before the creation of Nigeria.?
I hope you know those waters belong to communities and clans.
Anyway, it is none of my business as an Igbo man. Let them argue their own case.

When in doubt as questions rather than ending up looking foolish.

No clan or community owns 300 nautical miles to the sea. Deep sea.

kingzizzy:
This is absolute nonsense. The Deji of Akure has no right to dictate to Igbos how to conduct their cultural affairs. What business of his is it? He may have the right to decide who can wear a crown in his palace but he has no right to dethrone anybody. Does he he think he is dealing with his fellow Yorubas here? This is laughable

Dumbest post ever.

I don't know if it is my village babalawo that asked for the quote you just posted above. For 5000 euro plus 400k clearing I can get directly from Europe I can get a 2005 NISSAN XTRAIL directly from Europe and still have 300k change. Guess Cotonou does not favour me then.

Please provide me a quote (inclusive of full and correct duty) for the following vehicles:-

- 2005 Peugeot 407 2.0 or 2.2 liter Petrol (no wagon please), leather and automatic.

- 2005 Nissan Xtrail 2.0 liter petrol, automatic

You are stupid for that statement. Surprisingly he is igbo. His name is Tochukwu.

Hope this clarifies and puts to rest the need for army aviation.


An army aviation unit is an aviation-related unit of a nation's army, often described as an air corps. These units are generally separate from a nation's dedicated air force, and usually comprise helicopters and light support fixed-wing aircraft.this

The tasks of each army's aviation units are defined slightly different, depending on nationality. Some general characteristics, however, apply to all army aviation units regardless of provenience:

Logistic and battlefield support

Tactical transport both internally and externally, of personnel and material

Assault duties and anti-tank warfare

Search and rescue

Medical evacuation

Reconnaissance and fire support in a combined arms team

Surveillance

Liaison

Flying training

Disaster relief

In order to fulfill their manifold tasks, army aviation mostly uses helicopters. These helicopters can be classified into the following categories:

Attack helicopters for close air support of ground troops and anti-tank role

Transport helicopters

Observation helicopters

Utility helicopters

CSAR, Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC)/MEDEVAC helicopters

Training helicopters

In addition to helicopters, many armies also operate fixed-wing aircraft. They include the following categories:

Reconnaissance

Surveillance

Transport

Airborne command post

List of countries with dedicated army aviation unit

1st Army Aviation Brigade (Greece) (Hellenic Army)

So Google and wikipedia helps rather than argue blindly and trying to be a doctor on an army aviation thread

Last shot, Nigeria will need to have deep strike capability and that is where the air force needs to be upgraded. It already has rotary platforms for other utility uses. NAF needs Su-30 and the JF-17 thunder like yesterday.

I am out jump in the lagoon if I in anyway hurt your feelings. It's a small price to the lives of our guys we lost in combat.
