I am based in Nigeria.

His own is not a case of fraud but it is a case of ;

1. Irresponsibility - Abandoning site and duty.

2. Misinformation - Not specifying the type of drilling (Hand drill) and mixing (hand mix as against concrete mixer) method

3. Unprofessional - Subcontracted the job without ensuring the project is seen through.

Like I mentioned, I had paid 78% of project cost, and the balance 22% was used to pay the drillers. The project cost me more eventually I had to pay for concrete mixer for 7 days and paid for casting of 12 pile points. My finger was burnt but not so much. If I did not know one or two things about buildings, I would have been dealt a bad blow.

I actually sent a mail to him that I will post on Nairaland.

Oh, I forgot concrete, I will upload that before long.

Bros which one bi rubber again, to my knowledge most tanks are made with plastic oh, expect those of metal steel. Abi Naija done invent something better with rubber?

Larwin:
happy sunday to u all

trilobite:
Google the area to know if it has been investigated. if not do as the op has said.

most areas have a database just that Nigerians are lazy. browse!!

unipol:
How many blocks (9 inches hole) can a bag of cement produce?

And how much does it cost to park 9 inches hole blocks?
Thanks.

EgunMogaji:
Another fantastic place in Ibadan. Owner was nice enough to show me how to spot fakes and originals.

It's across from Total gas station in Iyaganku.

You've gotten your account back. Anyway thanks for the info, I'm a geophysics student of futa

Mrbigman1:
But rusher say the sounder dnt ve radioactive source. Make un dey careful with una preek oh! Lol.

Do u probe an open hole or just place on d floor and send down signal?

Mrbigman1:
Wow!
Nice innovation.
How do u do d air and d zero pressure?

And do u recycle mud? Or it just waste on coming to surface?

Mrbigman1:
Is d sounder designed to pick layers?

I don miss geology oh and it's fvcking assumptions.

U get sleepless nights and assume heaven and earth, in d morning supervisor calls u a idiot. U go back to site, gride and get same readings again, d main idiot says goan remove noise.
Nigerian lectures are trained to depress Dia students.
We dnt see anything good in anyone.

The casing with PVC is the problem, especially at that dept.

The sonde is part of the well logging equipment and could be anything from resistivity probe to sonic (rarely used in water wells).

The other gadget is simply a preliminary tool for noting the water level in a well such as one you do not have prior knowledge of or one whose recovery rate you were trying to determine.

The rate at which the well is replenished can be determined over time if you knew the water depth at every given time.

Mrbigman1:
Increase mud weight. But first, u circulate very heavy mud (pill) to block off, if it dnt, u increase mud weight. Dis comes with its own disadvantage, d weight and d pressure used in circulating it might cause further damage, and it may block off pores in sandstones required for production. So, dey always slow down, or stop drilling and watch on tank to check if it will happen on a stable well, if it happens, den Dia is danger, if it dnt, dey can go down gradually and increase weight of mud. If it cures, dey go back to normal weight or density.

Every project has a program set down already.

Orlu axis

The sounder I mentioned isn't radioactive.

It's a simple probe used in measuring the water level within a well. It beeps on coming in contact with water and is ideal for measuring the static water level as the reel is graduated.

It's truly sad to see the standard of borehole engineering hasn't improved in Nigeria since I left it over a decade ago.
