I'm perfectly positioned for the wealth transfer.

The way I look at it is that whatever we are doing, people on two legs like us are doing more or less.

As long as we're giving shukr and zakat, all is well.

Treating leakage from both is easy, it is done from under. D bent damage maybe due to transportation not really factory fault.

I don't want to treat anything. I always have my fears for the corrugations.

330KV is 25m

Secondly, its KV- Kilo Volts not KVA-Kilo Volt Ampere

Thanks for the correction.

Even granted that the wrong foundation was done.


At the point when a sense of the magnitude of the problem was becoming obvious it was critical to allow nature dictate. Leave for at least a year then with sound professional advice decide on next steps.

Mama, e karo ma. Much respect for your opinion and advice at all times.

I suggest everyone leave us (the client and the builder) for now. Prayers and encouragement is what this issue requires now that the client and the builder has decided to go into talks. And any pro who's got something tangible to offer can gladly do so, I know my client will appreciate the gesture in kinds and words.

I know all will be well. So painful the way it came but all the same its a big lesson.

Here's the reason why the OP is right and government is wrong?

I've been to PortHarcourt Nigeria and I saw some good storm water drainage designs with a very good depth done in some part of the city.

Road levels were not really raised because the major challenges experienced in the area visited is erosion. All the old buildings remain unaffected by the designed storm water drainage.

What stops government from establishing floodlines for natural watercourses? And building drainages to drain away excess storm water.

What stops govt from constructing sewers to convey wastewater from homes? As big as Lekki is, I'm yet to find any wastewater treatment plant which leads to the question where does our wastewater go? The ground?


Brabus



Edit: Do you know?

In Lagos state, buildings now require clearance from the Ministry of Environment for constructions (drainage alignment, gorge, flood plains, river bodies/water lagoon, shorelines etc)

EgunMogaji:
Yeah, I read that.

The run off doesn't always have to go to the sides, the road contractor could also do a buried pipe in the middle of the road. This is what I'll propose to the neighbors in my close in the future when it's time for our residential gutter.

So do you know if the home owner has the proper road height or the Road Contractor?

It's much easier to maintain a road with side drainages. Easier to link up residential drain pipes to the side drainages.

This is very good in Nigeria context where people choose to dump the refuse into the drainage during the rains.

________
Every construction problem and challenges should be placed on government.
If there's strict enforcement of laws and regulations binding construction and town planning in Nigeria, then we wouldn't be here to discuss most topics.
We have too many professionals yet we are making so many avoidable mistakes.

If government had mandated it for every construction to produce EIA report for each building and carry out basic tests and investigations, a lot of this issues won't have been discussed.

The OP of that post is right to some extent that government (through their contractors) is trying to build infrastructure at a lesser cost. Who wouldn't want that anyway?
The fact that some buildings will be affected by the raising of the road level does not make doing the right thing the wrong.

It only exposes the lapses on the part of our local planning authorities.
People should have gotten all this information from the land registry or town planning office prior to construction.


Brabus

________
Some will argue if the owners had carried out a test to establish the road level, he won't be caught up in the mess.

I will subscribe that government do more in the area of physical planning by providing more information on various lands in the state. The proposed roads, the waterways, flood plains, required setbacks, low lands, estimated flood levels, minimum foundation height, etc. This will help more people to make an informed decision on where to build and invest. One should be able to walk in to the town planning office to request for such information prior to buying of a land.

The above can only happen if government is continuum.


__________
As seen on the picture the OP posted on the thread, the house is below road level hence it is flooded.

Interesting discussion ongoing here
