Pic here for guidance, d circled points are d columns. Dimension of d base for d columns is 800mmby800mm. 7bags of cemnt was used to cast d base alone

Would you also recommend d same for a 16mm iron reenforcement n dimension of 2500mm by 3000mm just above d kitchen?

rotecch77:
1500 or 2000ltrs of geepee or storex tanks is suitable for the place,
After mounted the tank finished make sure you tight the tank with marine rope of 10 or 12mm so that the wind will not blow it away

Casting of columns done

That is quite fast. Did you notice reduction in block usage btw dpc n lintel?

I had answered this before. 1f6" dept. D ground was hard.
150 naira per meter

jedisco:
@op kudos on progress so far.

Just to clarify, the digging of 150 per meter is to what depth?

Not at all, it is just that down here engineers use 5" blocks for bungalows n 6" or 9 for high rise buidings.
I decided to use 6" for external because i will b using casement wit buglar embedded wic will flush well in 6" than 5". I intend to av overhead tank above where d kitchen is.

That would depend on if u already have some materials like blocks, sand, granite, n cements like i had. I only had to pay for labour n used seven bags to mould additional 6" blocks.

Here is d tips i used:
1. I got materials on ground, blocks, sand, granite n cement. I only paid for labour n water

Tanx boss for your reply, i understand that of the slab n i must ensure it. But how do i make them damp proof walls?

Hargbo:
you have casted the Foundation footings using a reinforcement of 80cm by 80cm and you have started raising the four columns with a 16mm reinforcement. I can deduce all this from your post.

To answer your question.
Please for your Column use 225mm by 225mm and for the beam that will carry your slab, kindly use 450 by 225.

It is strictly recommend you Damp proof your Walls and Slabs especially if it will carry a water tank in your own case

Space is the constraint here, 2000litre tank is to be placed there for domestic use. What should be the dimensions of the coulumns?

Dimension of basket formed n casted= 80cm x 80cm
Coulumn re-enforcement= 16mm rods formed to flush with 6" blocks used.
Please masters, is there anything i should be worried about?

EgunMogaji2:
The consensus on here is that stanchion is better in the long run. Embedded tanks like you’re proposing requires great maintenance.

Good luck on your final decision.

Form work done, block work to dpc to b done tomorrow

The circled point is where the beams would be stand.
80cm by 80cm basket is used n 16mm rods are used for the beams

Please i need some assistance concerning over head tank stand embedded in a 3bedroom bungalow flat. What should be the dimension of d pillars/beam? 6" blocks is used as block work

Plan using an online app to create n my architect's plan
