Thank you Sir, this is my own village town hall which I have helped to complete for my community after almost 40 years. I feel fulfilled Sir.

you did well. Now when do we come for the chieftaincy title.

Ome ihe siri ike na ala

Should they send the kids to you? I’m sure you won’t die either

read to understand and not just to reply

Honestly, this is a very dicey situation. There's no right or wrong situation here.

While you're protecting yourself from unwarranted financial burden, the orphans will be taken care of. Your wife is looking at the kids as her own blood and no one will want his or her own to suffer

Reporting the man to welfare means nothing. I don't have any advice for you brother.

But in all honesty, take the twins, you won't die.


MODIFIED

Ok, here's the truth. If you were the one whose nephews and nieces are in this unfortunate situation, you will accuse your wife for being wicked.

And you see all these people encouraging you not to accept them,if it happens to them, they will pack all the kids.

Life has a way of taking care of itself. I don talk finish

See opulence and display of class. These guys are not in the same universe as us

If you guys have seen half of what we Arsenal FC fans have seen,una for dump football all together. Arsenal played years without touching a trophy at all. How about Liverpool.

All of you folks are unfaithful fans

Their sacrifices for Nigeria will never be in vain

Rany4all:
Of course, we all know that the higher the tank stand, the higher the cost. No one is arguing that fact. If a client wants more water pressure, s/he must be willing to foot the bill.

and I am telling you that to avoid wasting your own money, for duplex which is usually 22-23ft tall, do 25-26ft tank stand. For two storey which is around 32-35ft tall, do 37ft tank(this is the length of channels today).


But if you think and have funds to throw around, give me your desired height and I will execute

Rany4all:
If you drop an egg-sized stone on to your head from a height just an inch above your head, you'll hardly get hurt, but just imagine same stone falling from the top of a four storey building on to your head on the ground floor ....My brother, height does matter a lot, no need to argue this one abeg.

sir, like I said,if you believe 40ft tank will give you the required pressure on a bungalow be willing to pay for it and I will be willing to do same for you

nwaorlu:
Thanks for the offer. The location is Abuja. The value proposition of buying from you will be minimal. I like your work and will contact you if there is a need for your service.

thank you for the kind words

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


It’s a whole lot of work ooo

I'm not talking about commercial skyscraper. Just a four storey building with just about eight flats. What's the ideal height of the tank stand?

You folks have a way of making simple things very much complicated

See, to whom it may concern, once your tank stand is at same height with your parapet, you're good to go and you will not notice any significant loss of water pressure until last drop.

But if doing 40ft tank stand for your 23ft building will give you the satisfaction of maximum water pressure, do it. If your standard is public water system that services homes hundreds of kilometres away,aim for it. The sky is your limit

It's your money that you will spend and if you pay me, I will do exactly what you want.

rotecch77:
Based on my experience in water tanks installation both in theory and practical.
If you have a building of 20-24ft it’s strongly advisable to do height of 30-38ft water tank.

If your building is btw 9-12ft (bungalow) it’s ok to do btw 15-18ft water tank height.

Here is it in theory and practical
If you need 1-2bar of water pressure which is just AVERAGELY ok for domestic building your tanks should be in height of 12-18ft in a bungalow this will give you 1-2bar which means a bucket of 20lts will filled up btw
2-3min
In practical plumber will run the supply pipe through ground which means the water tank still remain 12-18ft height to supply such pressure BUT if he try to run the water through roof it mean the height is just only 3-6ft which is VERY BAD bcs water heater will not run and shower also.

In case of a story building it’s the same theory and practical.

If your tank is 25-28ft and you run your water through roof same WATER SHORTAGE will happened bcs the height you have at upper floor is just ONLY 5-8ft ( the building height will be btw 20-22ft )
And if you run it through ground then go back up water shortage will still occurred in upper kitchen, shower etc ( it’s real ) means to filled up 20lts bucket it will take like 5-6min at 0.5 BAR mostly when your water reaches half tank … Any body can try this.

Most of my project I usually do 35-38ft ( duplex)
15-18ft bungalow.

a four storey building is 45ft, what's the ideal height of the tank stand and how do you intend to practically achieve it

Until lately, tanks are placed on the rooftop and the water pressure is adequate for the home it's meant for. What suddenly changed or are you discussing issues you know absolutely nothing about.

Gravity is same everywhere, you don't increase gravity by increasing height of the fall.

Once your tank is above your shower head, you already have enough pressure you need.

diordaves:
The height of the water overhead water tank must be adequate to ensure a constant minimum pressure to all outlet. See the attached as a guide. This is best practice.

That being said,if you want to do 60ft for a bungalow, it's your money and I have zero control on how you choose to spend it. If anything, focus should be on the foundation of the tank stand.

And who are the biggest importers in Nigeria?


This goes to show the ultimate goal of your evil agendas

Traditional leadership brought this to themselves. When you have been bought over, you will be dragged into unnecessary squabbles.

Vote wisely

diordaves:
Of course these things are pure physics.

Do you appreciate why public water towers are elevated so high? See attachments.

You will get pressure at 25ft like you said, but the pressure is optimal only when the tank is full. At half tank or lower half tank you experience significant pressure drop. In some situations, once you turn on the tap in the kitchen when someone are having their bath, you experience a drop in water pressure.

Experience has shown that the sure banker height for home use is at 40ft for duplex and four flats (storey building).

the reason why public waters are elevated is because they're not serving just a duplex. It's public water and there are instances where some houses are taller than 25ft and high as 50ft. You will not notice any drop in pressure until the last drop of water off your tank.

Going by your analogy,in instances where you have 4 storeys building,that means you will have to do 90ft tank stand since you want to double the height.

UC92:
Prefer having full lengths of 37/38ft for increased pressure.

as a country,we produce little or nothing but love waste way too much. A storey building is between 23-25ft excluding parapet but you will want to go all the way to 38ft. What is the need if not to waste the resources and put pressure on the available resources.

Anyways, it's all profits for the welder if you go all in.

Attached is the ideal height of tank stand in comparison to any building. If you observe, the bottom of the tank stand is higher than the walls and parapet which are the highest point of the house. The shower heads which are the highest point user of the water is lower than the bottom of the tank stand still. You will have all the pressure you need. Everything else is just a waste.

These things are pure physics. It's just that we think we can get more by doing more but it doesn't work like that

UC92:
Why not 4 lengths of channels?
Don't like cut and join on tank stands.

at four lengths and 25ft, you will have an excess of about 10ft on at least three lengths of the channels. What do you do with such waste?

Joining channels is never a problem, with good welding, it's as good as new.

Dem dey use their future to play. Cause omo, Na die oh. We all must die. When I dey lose money, e no dey malfunction. I come win, you begin check.

Nonsense

Na that your aunt wey dey cheat on her husband?

visaclick:
what's the point, you got the job already, client said he will connect with you. spoil another man's own to better yours so hope you are happy now. Maybe the bidder who dropped that quotation isn't on nairaland to even give reason why he needed those materials and he will be there wondering why client never got back to him. Smart one

at this point, I will ask you to kindly get busy with your life. This is 2023

visaclick:
stop being unprofessional. Before jumping into conclusions why no ask the job site and nature of material weight coming on the steel structure. Condemning other proffessionals just to make yourself look good here won't win you any job. Alot of you are guilty of this and it's very unprofessional. Ask relevant questions before putting your opinion no one asked for in the first place.
Are you a Structural Engineer, how did you know just only 3 channels is needed? Did you run the Design? I'm not talking to you alone but everyone of you here fond of criticising the bills of others when you have no first hand information on what's going on at the site and its conditions there. Peace

ok sorry sir. But I can assure that is all that is needed. For your information, I asked him the height and contents the tank stand should carry.

If you take time to check, I know what I am saying

Hybrid600:
Make una dey buy wetin you fit verify and test physically before purchase. It's really painful how someone will send a dead item to someone outside Lagos and I feel those outside Lagos are better targets for these thieves.

there's no way to test these things. Person sold fridge he claimed was less than six months old on this thread. Freezer was almost condemned. The compressor is dead, his PS 4 dead and so is the stabiliser.

Forget, all these things are try and luck

Ggee:
Just a duplex.
That is the quote received.

2 tanks on top and 1 tank in the middle.

you need just 3 lengths of channels. The quotation is way too much. What's the location of the job

alsudan:
With 2.5 million registered voters in Anambra, Obi won’t get 1 million?

I laff!

oga I dey Anambra,we no dey vote. On that day, you will see us playing football on the streets and commenting on nairaland plus Facebook

alsudan:
It’s a season of permutations, but the following are the States Peter Obi will score at least one million votes in the 2023 Elections.

It’s ok to doubt the figures, but the election is just 44 days away and all doubts will be cleared by then.

Anambra
Lagos
IMO
Rivers
Abia
Plateau (e go shock people)

States PO will score at least 700k Votes

Enugu
Edo
Delta
Benue
Kaduna (e go shock people)

States PO will score at least 500k Votes

Ebonyi
Akwa Ibom
Cross River
Taraba
Nasarawa (e go shock people)

States PO will score at least 300k Votes

FCT Abuja
Bayelsa
Gombe (for obvious reasons)

States PO will score at least 150k Votes.

Oyo
Ondo
Ogun
Niger
Kano (not up to 25%)

States PO will score between 50k -100k

Kogi
Kwara
Bauchi
Osun

With the available facts on ground, that PO will win the simple Majority is not up for debate.

if he manages to make the 25% mark in two of Kogi, Kwara, Bauchi and Osun, then Peter Obi will be President elect.

Anything other than that, then the election heads for a Rerun with either Atiku or Tinubu.

Obi will not get 1ml votes in Anambra to start with. Total number of votes on the day of election must be less than 1ml

Ggee:
House, kindly help review attached for Tank stand.

what are you doing with 10 lengths of channels



What is the height of your tank and what do you intend to have on it

The way you move funds to projects is amazing

Is there anyone here that sells Modern External doors (Affordable) ....Made in Naija is Fine provided the quality and the aesthetic dey ok.

I need about 8 external doors. Dm me or share their contacts.

Thanks

I do these ones

Unclesamo:
I gave it like because, life is a 2 sided coin.

There are factors that might contribute to students' hardship. reason why I don't judge people.

Family background and challenges.
Availability of sponsors
Being an Orphan
loss of sponsors during the cause of study etc.... and so on.


Some might not be as privileged as you were...

Since your case isn't the worst, some people's case might be worse than yours.

What you termed family finances might even be a status that some even prayed to have..

your case was never the worst....Some had theirs worse than yours.

If you digest the above in good understanding, you would know better not to even judge anyone till you're in their shoes.

I don't judge people. But some are just lazy and education is their shortest and easiest path.

If you check,he might be studying sociology or those useless courses that can keep you jobless

Unclesamo:
Lol, Rich kid.
it seems you grew up with silver spoon.


Seriously, some ppl are passing through hell trying to survive in school. I remember my undergraduate years, it was grace for some people. Where you would love to help some, but you are also managing the little sent to you.


Not easy for many family at present.
If only you know

I wasn't a rich kid neither did I have a silver book.

I told myself the honest truth about my family finances and made the right decision on time. I look back and I appreciate the decision then
