He said the screw the builder use can not withstand the proposed load.

My recommendation : For screw bolt is better with 20mm or 25mm long bolt and a 16 mm support bar.

However, I suggest:

1. if in any case the tank substructure is considered faulty please demolish it and start all over again.

2. Or Design a new one

3. Please do not introduce extra load to the building , that may cause a defect because the architect while designing the house may not have considered that.

4. You may not know how good the structural construction is.

Thanks

Thanks, I will speak to the builder today

Once again thanks for the advice.

The project was fabricated in Enugu so it cost about 900k
All the metal specification was not compromised.

Thank you!

As a matter of fact, is 25mm or 20mm bar that is required for the bolt and for the column of an overhead tank stand alright?

Not to be bonded with binding wire but should be welded with a 10mm or 12mm bar round it and intermidiatly too

Pictures below as a Sample of what I mean



Thanks

900k was the price + 15% addition due to the increase on price of materials. that should be #1,035,000 for everything.

Please how high from the ground surface should a water tank stand be for a bungalow building to achieve a good water pressure in the house?. Also what should be the foundation depth of the tank for a bungalow house? Thank you

Technically it should be higher than the parapet or the soffit reasonably.

Eg. 4' or 1.2m above or more
