You are insulting him, but you can't cite a single project to dispute his claims. Mind you second niger niger bridge is a product of foreign loan and never will ever be completed . Moreover it is a federal project

My adoration of this Anambra airport isn't because it's the first state airport. But its the first project i have seen in Nigeria so far done at the highest quality and speed without indebting the state or making it such low quality because they didn't borrow.

Truly i was pleasantly surprised that Anambra state built an airport bigger than Asaba airport that took more than 10 years and more than 50 billion naira

mktinsight:
Bushman this is not single biggest project in SE since 1999. The single biggest project is the second Niger Bridge valued at almost 400 billion Naira not this puny 400 passenger capacity local airport. The single biggest private investment in Anambra state was the Hero brewery in Onitsha.

When did we igbos become this hopelessly deluded ? There is NOTHING special about the airport in Umuleri and that is even within the mediocre Nigerian environment. Bayelsa, Delta, Imo, Akwa Ibom have all built airports with state funds. The only difference with umuleri is that the latter uses structural steel which for the backward people of Nigeria is akin to going to the moon. Structural steel is a 1960s technology that allows you to build in months what block layers take years to build so nothing special there.Again I ask what is the VALUE of an airport in Anambra built by a government with less than 100b in annual revenue in a state that lacks good transport infrastructure particularly in the cities. Enugu, Asaba airports transport less than 1m people annually. Meanwhile at Xmas you can't go most places across Anambra because the mostly one lane roads are choked with traffic from visitors. Can Onitsha handle 1m vehicles? Can Awka? I doubt they can. There are less then 10,000 keke, shuttle in Awka and you already see traffic snarls on Zik Avenue or Oby Okoli. Or try Awka Rd or Iweka to see what its like.

Go and take a shower because you are so full of shyt you stink up the joint. Biggest project in SE ince 1999 swhat stupid rubbish!

Landmack:
I realised and concluded yesterday that our state capital is in shambles and needs lots and lots of work. Major problem is ROADS,,lack of access roads jeez!Now that the police command has blocked the main route...commuters are not finding it funny. Transport has gone up by 100%. was to get to Enugwu ukwu yesterday by public transport since my car wasn’t available at that time,,,my pple that was when I knew d wahala wey this UGM brought to us...with very limited tarred roads commuters are left to take through streets and more streets...roads ain’t tarred so d stress and plenty gallops Guys pple are going through a lot. Those tiny untarred roads in d streets commuters ply as alternatives in my opinion can be disastrous and unsafe especially now that pple are going missing and disappearing...some are lonely and looks like a walk paths.Pls we need roads fixed in d state capital and better alternative routes for commuters in cases of issues like this one near future.

Yes this is the single biggest project in the SE and by any SE government since 99 and yes its worth more than Hero brewery you illiterate. The Second Niger bridge is a SE/SS project. just shut up.

It shows how lacking in confidence you are that you obsess about the negative, prejudiced and daft comments of some pokenosing amebo! Fool said your people are 'backward' and you didn't slap his eyes out of their sockets!?

You say he's non-Igbo? So what's his ethnicity then...or he didn't tell you? Tell him to get a life and stop clicking on Igbo or Anambra threads/videos if he can't stand the fact we're 'over excited' as he stupidly puts it!

Why Steel Structures Are First Choice for Airport Operations?

In terms of aviation infrastructure, steel plays a vital role in airport construction and provides the aviation industry’s essential infrastructure. Steel is always the best choice for airport construction. Steel is effectively helpful for infrastructure applications in nearly every airport construction in the world.

Steel is becoming more common in newly built outdoor areas at airports around the country and around the world. This trend indicates that airport construction viewpoints and avoidances suggest that steel products are more suitable than others for airport construction. The use of steel offers high resistance to corrosion, coating, or coating stainless steel with low glare and a long life cycle for the whole structure.

There are specific requirements for serviceable airport buildings with steel only.

* Steel offers flexibility in making structural changes that are needed later.
* Steel accommodates a wide variety of equipment.
* It provides the structure with the flexibility required to allow for additional modules.

The steel properties meet the airport structure requirements for light and economic structures that meet the safety and stability criteria. Whereas other architectural metals have a limited lifespan

Swing, steel strength. Steel is considered environmentally friendly because of its relative inertia.

Some of the main reasons for choosing steel structure over the other are-

Usage Flexibility
There are specific requirements for building an airport that is present in the steel. Steel offers the flexibility to change the structure at a later date if necessary. Any airport requires a large building without columns so that passengers can pass quickly and have a pleasant experience.

You cannot do it by building bricks and mortar, which required columns and supports every few meters. The flexibility of steel allows the building to have smaller pillars and a more comprehensive building.

Safe and Sustainable
Steel is very resistant to corrosion and coated, or uncoated stainless steel helps increase the structure’s longevity and makes it durable without being easily damaged. The fact that the steel structure is lightweight, economical, and meets all safety and durability criteria.

Quick To Construct
Prefabricated buildings that use high-quality corrosion-resistant steel are helpful for structures in aerospace infrastructure. It takes very less time to finish a project than to build bricks and mortar. It also saves labor costs, as well as the labor costs you have to operate. Record as early as possible.

You Have Design Freedom
Architects love working with steel because steel offers more design freedom in texture, shape, and color. The inherent durability, strength, flexibility, and precision allow designers to work with a broader range of parameters while exploring different ideas and offering modern solutions.

With steel, builders can also create large open spaces without the need for columns or retaining walls to interfere. It is multifunctional because it can be bent at different angles, creating segmented curves or abstract combinations for facades, domes, and arches. Hence there is no end to experimentation and adaptation with steel.

Highly Efficient
Steel is very efficient because it assembles quickly and easily at any time of the year. Since parts produce off-site, there are minimum requirements for on-site work.

Steel is also advantageous for heavier terrain, as it allows less ground contact and thus minimizes the digging required.

Eco friendly
Some green initiative builders prefer steel to make construction projects environmentally friendly. Unlike other materials, steel is a renewable source that is much more durable and efficient. Therefore, steelworks in combination with other environmental substances for environmentally friendly construction projects.


Conclusion

Make steel structures quickly using a prefabricated production process. They can be installed quickly and require no rework after installation. “Another requirement of modern airports is the use of glass. Glass, especially on the aerial side, provides excellent soundproofing and visibility for passengers at the terminal. The structural steel used in airports today can secure glass facades at great distances and heights.

While all stained steel shares certain basic characteristics, some can be very different from the others. This makes choices for certain applications that are very critical processes, especially when the cost, reliability of components and durability, compliance with original equipment specifications, and aviation safety is the main consideration. The problem becomes more critical when the fabrication or repair process involves welding and close contact with other metals in service.

JohnBullMySon:
Ok, thanks for the correction. I decided to make some research and enquires. Anambra has already been recognized as an Oil producing state since 2018 nah? The issue Obiano had with the SEEPCO has to do with illegalities and environmental neglect. The question is, does the Anambra government receive the 13% from profits? Oil producing state status does not put any food on the table. If it's being paid, then what is the complaint about?

cjrane:
It is clear they have plans to cover the steel pillars. The covering of the pillars on the ramp shows they don't intend to leave them bare.

Thanks for sharing.

MysteryShopper:
Stop spewing nonsense. Yes Anambra international airport is not a small project. Building an airport from the scratch: terminal building, tower building, 3.7km runway, fire building, 6- lanes airport roads, etc, all at ones is not a child's play. Show us one airport built by any state government in Nigeria that matches Anambra international airport in sophistication and beauty.

Ask that your friend to show us the one built by his state government, lets compare notes.

We don't care what you miscreants from other states thinks, but the fact is that this singular airport is the single biggest project in southeast since 1999. So we have to rejoice, if you don't like it, then take a hike.

Landmack you have said it all. Awka is nothing to write home about in terms of accessible road. Government need to expand all the major roads in the city.

Again I ask what is the VALUE of an airport in Anambra built by a government with less than 100b in annual revenue in a state that lacks good transport infrastructure particularly in the cities. Enugu, Asaba airports transport less than 1m people annually. Meanwhile at Xmas you can't go most places across Anambra because the mostly one lane roads are choked with traffic from visitors. Can Onitsha handle 1m vehicles? Can Awka? I doubt they can. There are less then 10,000 keke, shuttle in Awka and you already see traffic snarls on Zik Avenue or Oby Okoli. Or try Awka Rd or Iweka to see what its like.

Landmack:
On God! Reason why I said the next Gov be it whosoever has a lot of work to do in the state capital.

Willy has tried...we need a more capable hand who will transform our capital to be better than some top state capitals. Starting from the roads...we need more accessible roads. Who would have thought the state command access road would be blocked in 2021 thereby causing untold hardship to Anambra pple commuting to and fro d state capital. Awka needs more accessible roads for private and public vehicles to ply.

Obiano started well then under the second Commissioner of Works Ifejiofor everything in the cities fell apart. No maintenance no expansion no access roads. Then that a sitting governor allows a police station to block a major access road causing untold hardship to citizens is a disgrace. The same Nigerian police force that can't even fuel their vehicles without begging for money? NPF who Obi walled several of their stations for them since they couldn't even buy simple 120 naira block?ANSG should help them to relocate their entrance gates away from Zik Avenue to the side road near ASUDEB where they can mount their blockade without interfering with traffic.As for Awka the next governor should build many connecting access roads to free up zik avenue. The market should be relocarwd entirely and same goes for all markets along zik avenue to Onitsha like Afor Igwe. All markets should have side entrances and enough parking like shopping malls not 5,000 10x10 shops like rats. This is 2021.

I have challenged the demon called mktinsight before to name the biggest project in southeast, he started calling Hero brewery and 2nd Niger bridge. Lol. Truly, mktinsight is mentally deranged, most of the time I usually have pity on him.
