WHAT IS DISADVANTAGES OF USING THE COCONUT TREE FOR ROOFING CARCAS?

Mykel51:
Good afternoon Engrs

I have a proposed residential development containing 12 flats split into 2 blocks with each block containing 6 flats each.

What is the most economic way to provide water to them ?

walexProjects:


For each block of flats,The most ideal design is to design a system for Cold water supply from the Roof top to allow for Gravity Flow even when their is no Electricity to Power the Pumps.
You can contact me for the MEP Design.....

Ebeano Supermarket Arson By 9-Year-Old Girl

I watched this and thought to myself this could have been prevented/averted or limited by simple basic technology we often take for granted.

#1. That CCTV should have been monitored. In a set-up like a supermarket, it is of no use setting up a CCTV without personnel to monitor it. If the CCTV was being monitored, the child could have been seen straight away and the staff could react swiftly to put out the fire. This is negligence on the part of the operators of the supermarket.

#2. An industrial smoke/fire detector would have sounded an alarm to alert staff of the danger almost immediately after the child struck the lighter. From the look of things, such a supermarket has no fire/smoke alarm. The question is: how did the supermarket pass planning approval with the authorities? Set-up like these should not get planning approval or license to operate without putting fire prevention measures in place. Who places gas cylinders, a connected gas cooker and lighters together in the same place accessible to all? This is just daft. The operators would have a hard time with their insurance company if they have one. The insurance company may fight this and refuse to pay.

#3. A fire water sprinkler would have prevented the supermarket from burning completely to the ground. A fire water sprinkler is even more ardently needed in Nigeria where the fire service is not up to scratch. And these gargets are not even that expensive to implement. It is either the I-don't-care attitude of some Nigerians, cutting corners, or lack of basic knowledge.

For those of you architects in here and engineers, have you ever included water sprinklers in your Mech drawings for a commercial outfit? Most of the answers would be 'no'. Architects in Nigeria, you must up your game beyond your traditional cut and paste to include cutting edge, life-saving, and health and safety designs both for home and commercial outfits. This is a challenge for you all.

If you are a Local Government Agency employee in charge of planning approval and you're reading this, you must do your job diligently. Stop collecting bribes and enforce the planning process to its fullest. Your corrupt ways are killing Nigerians.

Homeowner, you will do well to instal smoke/carbon monoxide detector and alarm at home. A fire extinguisher for home use will not go amiss. And place lighters out of the reach of children. This is not rocket science.

Paint entire door ke? When it's not acid.

Horlardorjah:


Fear catch me too OH
Just dip a foam or soft napkin in water n damp the mortar stain with it for awhile and brush off softly, u might need to repeat same twice to get them all off completely.
I can't imagine using brush or whatsoever on a million naira door n think of repainting again

POP experts in the house, Please how feasible is it to install ceiling fan together with POP. I know there is the issue of vibrations, but please any advice on what to do or how to go about it?

I just want to have an idea of how many length of iron rod that can be used just for the casting of the top alone,

EgunMogaji2:


It’s really a non issue but requires foresight.

1) Hook the hanger to specific wood member. I will actually brace the specific location

2) Don’t go cheap on the fan.

Check out Odell concrete on YouTube...he's been using it for a while in building pavements and garage entrance.
