oga michillin , look at this tank , how possible is this , do you think the iron will be strong enough to withstand pressure .. it's Scarry

How do they pump into all these tanks. They could have used one GRP tank of higher capacity

I imagine if this was a 20 floor building with 40 tenants, will they have installed 20 tanks?

Same with the lintels in the first pics here...is it ok to do lintels that way? I'm not even talking about "chaining" the lintel, but having the lintel sit on a mere 3 or so inches of block wall at either end? Maybe it's just my eyes that's deceiving me sha.
Your eyes are working ok bro ..it’s more shaa..
According to books and how I was trained each lap ends of lintel should be 225mm not up to 1ft but in most cases at site we do about 400mm here.
More so lintel are not structural member and solid materials can be used as lintel “ just to cover the void area”

I.e metal, special plastic, hard wood etc

What we need to take note of here is that in most cases these guys use prestressed concrete lintels (lightweight and even with hollow core in some cases) and the quality of their blocks aren’t the same with ours.

They build with quality load bearing blocks or bricks.

Oh, so 9 inches is even ok? Thought it should ideally lap anywhere from 1 - 2 feet.

We normally have a common services meter for all the common services in all of our installations that have multi dwelling units.

This common service include
Borehole
Water treatment
Bosster pump
External light
Stair case or lift lobby
Gate house

If all walls are dry, check the WC. The water stop mechanism might be faulty. So water does not stop flowing into the tank after flushing.

Thank you so much Sir...will tell them to observe the toilets

in a place like Enugu where individual tenant is responsible for his own water supply, this is the working solution for now. If you exhaust your own water, you call water supply people to pump water for you

This is very doable, one just has to ensure that the structural elements can carry that amount of load.

Prestressed concrete is another technics to get more strength concrete.
Most new bridges in Nigeria now have this concrete system.

Dear Esteem Customer,

We are very sorry for the sudden increase in the price of cables recently, it was not the fault of management.
The revision has become compelling as all our cost parameters have been stressed over the limits by current economic situations. We cannot keep current price levels for a sustained quality service.

As usual we know we can rely on your understanding and please raise any query that could be of mutual benefit on this matter if you have any.

Thanks


Nigerchin set to increase price any moment this week

Almost all the bridges here in the US is precast. They bring those lengthy precast slabs to site with special trailers.
But the pillars are done onsite.
You could wake up to see a bridge standing where there was none the previous day.

Precast must be prestressed before they are even certified for use ( You can’t divorce the two)
If you have seen how the precast slabs are transportation, you would know that any shady material can’t withstand such stress.
