Travel › Re: Building Bus-Stops & Terminals; Is It Solving The Transport Challenge Of Lagos? by opalu: 11:51am On Apr 12, 2018
three:
No, as those who use 3rd Mainland bridge will attest.
(specifically referring to the backed up traffic at the Oworo Bus park at the bottom of 3rd Mainland Bridge)

The empirical challenge with Traffic is VOLUME


YOU CANNOT OUTBUILD INFRASTRUCTURE TO CATER FOR CARS


Lagos does not have a comprehensive functional transportation system.

There is no existing metro rail system. The Blue line when commissioned will still be inadequate to serve the 20million plus population

There should be a bus stop 5 minutes walking distance from every house
Rail is the best

Career › Re: I Want To Switch Back To My Profession But I'm Confused. Help! by opalu: 9:10am On Feb 20, 2018
When you mix your Profession (Surveying) plus Passion (Graphic design) you would become a Hotcake.
For instance a Housing Development company like ours can give you a work to do both Surveying and Designing.
However you would be under a more experienced Surveyor who would teach you the basics. What I can tell you is that you condition your mind that you are not working for money because you are starting a PRACTICAL TRAINING. Mistake that most inexperienced jobseekers make is to be demanding for the salary of highly experienced professionals. Work to learn not work for money. Final advice:- Don't go back to the east until you have mastered your field in the city.

shileowo:
i need advice on my property please. Drainage is channel to the back of the house due to level of floor.the road infrastructure is higher in the front so any attempt reverse this would mean a discharge pipe will be lower in the gutter which will be dagerouse in the rainny season cause water will flow back into the house due to high level of water in the main gutter. What are my options. thanks
We usually tell people who want to build to engage good Professional that understand how to raise your ground floor level to be with the same level with the future road. When building a house that is adjacent or opposite to an untarred road, I use my level instrument to design the road as if I am to build that road, from my road design, I get the highest possible road level, then I make your compound level to be higher than that road with its drainage, thereafter I ensure that the Ground floor level is higher than the Compound level.
By so doing, your house will be the highest road around. Because when there is flooding in a street, the water first rushes to the compound with the lowest level, then the next lowest, then the next lowest and so forth. Professionally built house will never have any flooding. And when I say professional I don't mean someone who just read engineering or architecture or building in school. I mean one who is armed to the teeth with the right experience.

Now concerning your problem that has already been caused, I will give you two different solutions. One is cheaper than the other. The cheaper one will cost you more in the long run than the one that looks expensive now.
So which solution do you want? To spend money to solve it once and for all or to spend little now and continue to spend whenever there is flooding?

genkins:
Been following this tread recently. I built a house without dpc and DPM.wrong advise from a quark. Pls how do I remedy this?I've floored but yet to put tiles.what do I do to prevent rising damp?
To prevent that, there are some practical steps that I have used that has worked for me:-

1. We do a special layer of flooring whereby we introduce a Damp Proof Membrane. This is a permanent solution but 'costly' to some persons. However when you look at how the rising damp could spoil your tiles regularly, spoil bags in the wardrobe, spoil paints and cause sicknesses to crawling children etc you will know doing a fresh floor with DPM is not that expensive.

2. Using special water-proof cements to screed the floor. This is not 100% guaranteed as the number 1. But it helps to reduce rising damp from the ground and mitigate the attendant consequences.

Let me stop here for now

Please..I will appreciate it if nairaland can answer my question for the 1st time..My Engineer did a deck and 3 days later it is cracking.see pictures. What is the cause and remedy?? He patch it upbefore we could see it
There could be different possible causes for the cracks.
But it has to be observed physically for one to know the actual cause. But you are lucky that the cracks are showing right now rather than when you lay tiles and people have packed into it.
Showing early signs means that you have to do a permanent structural solution to it. Drop your number or call mine and we discuss it more.
