Yes, there is a way... All you need to know is the density of the sand that you are using, the physical dimensions of the bucket or head pan used for the mix.

By following this simple procedure.
Get the diameter of the head pan or bucket
Get the height of headpan or bucket
Calculate the volume using nhd2/4
From the density, p=m/v... Get the m(mass)
Finally divide the mass in kg by 1000 to get the tonnage

EgunMogaji:
One can stop the underworld without sacrificing safety.

EgunMogaji:
Remember that the highest walls and strongest windows might not deter the most hardened criminal element, what you are trying to do is cause the robber to think of reasons to attempt on yours when he can go on to easier targets that poses lesser hassle.

EgunMogaji:
Definition of insanity is doing things the same way and expecting different results.

EgunMogaji:
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and some of us made the necessary sacrifices and bought enough land that we don't have to worry about fitting something with a 8X8 feet footprint

nwabuwa:

EgunMogaji:
@TwinsKenny I was at Costco today and I thought about you

Building Setback: Why are they important?

• Improve visual appeal
• Provide for sufficient light
• Provide openness
• Enhance privacy
• Maintain uniformity
• Eliminate encroachments
• Restrict over-building
• Protect public health
• Provide fire protection
• Increase safety
• Makes for a better community

This may not be a good message for those who bought one plot for N25m . But for people like me, who bought less than 1m per plot. Don't overbuild. Observe the necessary statutory limits and build a better community!

Distributed Recording, over Wifi, using wireless I.P Camera, wirelessly connected to your I.P Television (for viewing), your Mobile phones and over your 4G/LTE Fibre network is the bomb.
Recording is done "offsite", probably to your Google Drive or over some Cloud storage located in a bunker. somewhere in another country entirely.

Anyway, bowo'semo, lo'ogun nmo. You get what you pay for.



I hope you are not planning to have this at home because l have seen over two cases where that "Recorder Box" is the first thing the boyz "took along"!!
In one funny case, they simply removed the hard disk inside and left the box for the owner!

These stuffs are kind of way behind, in CCTV technology.

These are for old Mummy and Daddy that are not conversant with technology and hence need something very "BASIC".

It shouldn't be cheaper than concrete but it sure looks more befitting.

Brabus is teaching me to not "think of cost but value"

It's also secure because it won't be easy to access to pour nefarious chemicals in it and make everybody fall asleep in the compound. They they'll blame it on Juju after the robbers leave.

Hehe...you no dey serious. You are proposing the usual comments in advance so that people won't even bother.

Here is the free standing concrete water stand. In my case it is commercial rentals so all about safety and durability.

EgunMogaji:
Those 25 milla per plot people are not on Nairaland anyways

The assumption that we all bought postage stamp sized plot in overpriced slums and cram it full of buildings is the problem.

Dieumerci:
Thanks for the reply.

Obviously, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

PeoplesArmy:
This looks complex. Please simplify the two formulars for ordinary folks.

kingreign:
E dey Naija. In Abuja, Building setback are minimum of 5m, but for FUS such as Major Highway, Railways, High tensioned power lines, petrol and gas Pipelines the setback is 45m, and features such as rifts, rivers flood zones, are 45m. Any development that encroaches these setback will include the wrath of the Development Control officers to mark and demolish such development. In some cases, the violators of such setbacks are prosecuted.

In other states, the adherence to planning rules are a bit relaxed hence you don't see the development control enforcing the setbacks.

spyder880:
You only need one set of building plans containing plans for the two buildings. As long as there is enough setbacks around the house and the site plan analysis contains information about the percentage of free space, you will get an approval for your buildings.

Any one know how much a 4" Galvanized pipe cost?

brabus:
Baba, hope no be say you wan use galvanised pipe for tank tower for your 3 floor house? It's possible but not safe o! You're looking at using the pipe for almost 15m high tank tower. If you must do it that way, ensure it's braced to the building wall.

mufutau55:
What other format/type will you recommend? Learning/educative purposes only.

Hajji M.

brabus:
This types (in picture below) I know for 2 floors. But I'll choose the Water Tank Stanchion (2nd pic below) over the galvanized tank tower in multi-floor buildings especially in buildings higher than 8m

mufutau55:
OK. Thanks. I am on the right track.. copying your work from that Ile-Oluji project. I used H Beam bars like the second pic for two tanks.
Thank you.
