Love800:Most causes are due to the re-enfoce steel, they tend to carry more load than what it's actually designed to carry. Another cause is the "height"(which many pple don't take into consideration) of the overhead tank, without enough re enforcement to support the load, over time the steel will collapse. That is what cause the incident in our case. Lastly, substandard materials. In my own opinion, water tank space should be included in the roof of the building when planning the design of your building, that is a better place where it can sit. |

Love800:The positioning or location of water tanks may not really be the cause but lack of solid structure to carry them. |

At the end of the day, this is a failure of the nigerian government. You wouldn't need to have overhead water tanks if public water is provided as expected. |

Maintenance problem. Trestle is made ... never maintained ... made to last forever ... no checks for rust ... If it starts leaning to one side ..nothing ... even replacing the tank with a bigger tank as if the extra weight doesn't matter. What her family should do that most don't.... is to take the matter to court and sue the landlord. But AI guess they wouldn't ... the landlord will quickly rebuild the trestle ... put up another tank ... and move on as if nothing happened. |

Hopez456:if the tank is not balanced on the station , and it's higher than the building and it's higher than the building when pumping water it may fall off the scarfold , |

Overhead tanks should only be held with concrete structures not iron welded structures, the iron welded structures are prone to rusting and will definitely be a disaster in waiting............ ![]() Government should mandate this because it has claimed too many lives........ ![]() |

Okay. But what do you mean by the height, when you were talking about the things that causes tanks to fall down. I don't understand that height you talked about. And, if the tank is place on the roof of the building, wont it start to destroy the top of the building because of the water that will be falling on the roof, and maybe some leaks too from the tank will be touching the building. Am sure because of this, people tend not to put water tanks on their roof. samwash: |

tollyboy5:The Potential Energy of that heavy Tank falling at that Height is more lethal that a shotgun bullet - it will impale a steel much less a hardwood! |
