25years is the standard for road life span,
75 years for buildings

jmoore:
6 years is for substandard job.

A good road should last minimum 15 years.

Reference:


And how do you arrive at these figures because the little engineering I know will factor cost, function and environment to determine lifespan.

So, infrastructure has no fixed lifespan just like the cars, trucks, boats, aircraft, people, animals, and substances that use them.

In this our humid terrain? I think the climate and terrain affect the asphalt quicker than in cold countries.

Please tell them, that's a corrupt Engineer speaking, is he even chartered?

Obidaftis Ipob ESN UGM are free to wail to death over this news update. In fact it will not be well with each n everyone of you if you do not wail to death over the news.

AfonjaEmir:
The roads will be in the SE ..but we will still not vote for the scum bag..

All these Lamentations and drama, will not make IGBOs vote for Tinubu or APC.

NEXT!!

BoldBrainz:
Even that, is substandard. Quality asphalt isn't supposed to require any repairs or maintenance for a minimum of 10years.

If the constructing company is J. Berger or RCC, their minimum standard is between 15 to 20years.

I won't be surprised if Umahi decides to construct Federal roads with his indigenous Ebonyi state construction companies. That can be the only reason he's already preparing our minds for low budget road deliveries.

Have u ever considered our weather? It affects the asphalt quicker. The big trucks the Europeans of America or Asia produces are mostly for Africa usage.
Countless numbers of heavy trucks matching the tarred road, especially when heated which causes some probs. A cold weather is the best and if Nigeria shld be having a cold weather like Europe or other regions, he (Umahi) could of said 15yrs instead.
But just get this straight that it was an assumption of fact, which may exceed the years.

Just so u knw, the road dat was tarred since 2007 is still like new cause people don't use it that much in Jos

What about in the middle east with very harsh weather, their roads last more than that, but he should all the road done by Julius Berger in akwa ibom by Akpabio are still intact after 10yrs, 6yrs is too small for repairs, the job's should be given to good companies

Rostikol:


Stop hyping all these fcking countries.

Brazil and India also have terrible roads.

Singapore is just ONE CITY, like Abuja.

The roads done by Obi in Anambra then, how long did they last - 2years? Even Ngige roads outlast Obis roads. Thank God we dodged a bullet in Obi. He would have been constructing extremely substandard roads yearly.

kokorokoman:
Engineers in the house, is six years not too small for a standard road to start attracting attention for repairs?

I've bn waiting for this your opinion.
Engineers or Nairaland Engineers be saying 15-20 before any major repair, forgetting that we have harsh weather condition.

Everything we do is standard.

I dedicate “Standard” by Reekado Banks to Jagaban. Great jam!

lexy2014:


what is the harsh weather condition that Nigeria has?

Darkjudge24:
I don't know why as Nigerians honest statements are hard to believe , in Nigeria of today do we have roads that last up to four years without any repair?
