SIR BANYE: True word you have said, but for a single storey building with flats attached, we are considering 900sqm to 1500sqm tops, its not as expensive as most people make it sound. All that is needed is an excavator or a D7 bulldozer, with a maximum of 20 hours man hours. I was raised and brought up in the niger delta, we build everyday on water, all it takes is a considerable understanding of the soil. I still insist, pile foundation should only be employed when we building multi storey building or a structure of considerable heavy weight. Personally i believe a good engineer should also consider cost effective ways for his client, pile foundation in any way u put it is not cheap. Also consider connecting beams and total number of piles to be used. In extremly swampy areas, i can bet most times u do not meet solid earth structure, so you work with friction piles which upon perenial flooding could settle further. Using soil replacement and elevating ur floor base, you eliminate such risk.

biting cool: Dude I thot u were married. So u will take d risk n give another man's woman a head just to prove a point!!!!! U never hear say throat cancer is on d rise esp. Among men 'cos of Mouth Gig? @ least limit ur tongue olympics to one woman........... My two cents

SIR BANYE: I am a civil engineer, in my years of practise, i ve never heard or seen anyone use pile foundation for a single storey building. No matter how bad the soil is, raft is best recommended. I always advice clients building in very swampy area that are not too sure of the soil bearing capacity to the soil replacement. Soil replacement is done by replacing the top soil of your land with solid sharp sand to a depth of about 2m, depending on how poor your soil is. Upon doing soil replacement, a proper compaction must be done. After which you can use a properly reinforced raft of about 1m for your foundation. Soil replacement is the guaranteed way to improve your soil irrespective of how poor it is. This way i can guarantee you of a stable structure free from sinking or foundation tear. You can contact me on udoka.banye@yahoo.com for further advice

richeyy: You guys should know that there is a difference between a geologist & a geological/geotechnical engineering, just as there's a difference between a computer scientist & a computer engineer. We're talking about foundation design here; a geologist is a scientist who is knowledgeable about the earth and it's content, he doesn't have the technical wherewithal to design for foundation.

deshclones: Nwanne you can emphatically say that again.....i see the girl anytime i go to the east to see my parents and i will be like....i don mumu for this life sha...the chic don depreciate finish...but all na wetin don shape man for life.....smh

vivacious vivi: Words fail me!!!

Lemme help you out darling...

fender: My honeycoated preek has been proven beyond unreasonable doubt to be enough for her.

My guy!!

Make we bet. If you know say your babe Congo no get odour, Give me your babe pin!!


If I nod her finish and she say she no like am.. Then you win.

But If I finish and she enjoy am.. Na your problem as per how you go take recover her o!

deshclones: mine was stealing and dashing her my Dad's samsung R200 cell phone...girl wey i never kiss not to talk of chopping kpomo..she never even gree for me sef....her mom saw her with the phone and brought her to my place and my parents were so disappointed...till date my dad still looks at me with disappointment...it hurts sha....women..smh

bukatyne: A Muslim woman should allow her husband marry extra wives to prevent him from sinning?

Sweetheart, what does the Muslim husband do for his wife? What concessions does he grant her?

Please dont bring your women liberation message to our Muslim sisters..

esshman: Gave her all my cash (10k in 2006) to obtain pre degree form. Went without any food from monday to friday. Rushed home from schl on Friday after i slumped. its worth it tho.

fender: Well.. blow on.. I'm lucky my current partner doesn't like it. so na to blow balloon dey go

A girl wey no like nodding?! NEVER!!!!!

@first bolded, maybe not the worst but one of the worst things... I doubt if I can forgive my man for that(may Allah distant us from infidelity)...

@second bolded, better agreed upon if you had typed women and not 'muslim' women... As much as I'd want my man to myself(not shared), I wouldn't mind 3 more rivals if infidelity becomes an option... Women are possessive of their men(ofcourse, we should be) but a muslim woman should not put her husband's aqeeda in jeopardy because of her emotions...

richeyy: Thank you! I was beginning to wonder what a geologist has got to do with investigating ground conditions for foundation design

anselm791: Our elders talk say, 'no matter as you wash yansh clean, yansh na still yansh', same goes with honey pot.

Reference: The building is small so I think a very important factor is the availability of equipment. If you can somehow lay your hands on a rig piling may be cheaper and quicker. Rafts are low tech solutions but are grave money pits.

fender: Na once i don put mouth there, o boy e just funny , i s.p.i.t for days aswear . wetin una dey enjoy there sef?

tchidi: Mazi!! E kene'm gi!
You did the honourable thing...

D'Govnor:
Is simple: get a good structural engineer that will design the foundation detail base on existing site analysis that can be gotten from public record or you conduct one yourself, it include soil test. This is done to be sure of the peculiarity of the local site.
Note: the idea of what foundation to use is a responsibility of the engineer: the contractor do their bid base on the design provided by the design team:

Fadelex: the engineer that quoted for pile foundation for a storey building is definitely a quack.... unless you are building an island in a river, Pile foundations are long, slender, columnar elements in a foundation that are installed into the ground.
They aretypically made from steel or reinforced concrete and possibly timber . A foundation is described as piled when its depth is more than three times its breadth.
Pile foundations are principally used to transfer the loads
from a superstructure, through weak, compressible strata
or water onto stronger, more compact, less compressible
and stiffer soil or rock at depth, increasing the effective size of a foundation and resisting horizontal loads

raft foundation is suitable for d design

Lilimax: Your personal text have said it all: Aboki na bastard!

LadyBra: This is about what the Ladies want and not what you like, and if u see staying healthy and been fit as bullshit! Oh well,good for you, we are all entitled to our opinion, btw I like thick girls too and there's a new thickness in town and it's called Sexy thick. So there's no crime in wanting to be skinny, healthy, fit or go from being obese to Being sexy thick.

Lilimax: This question is directed to guys alone
