Would you buy a piece of land adjacent to a pipeline? What does Nigeria's Land Use Act say about lands' proximity to a pipeline. The land is in PH. Any information will be highly appreciated.

Thank u sir for hitting the nail on the head at bold.
I don't just get this.
Someone posted a question, none of u so called engineers attended to the query, someone else took his time to attend to it, u all are coming out like a hungry lion, posting lame observations? If u were so concerned, why didn't u attend to the query? Why not ask the necessary questions & attend to the query instead of sounding like a paragon which none of u are? More answers to a query will provide options for the poster. If u can't come up with sth better, don't come here to parade yourself as a paragon.

this is seriously serious

For those of us that have been here, it is only natural to omit certain info when posting on here. We have seen it several times. It is now left for the individual concerned to ask questions.
No one is paying anybody here for the info they dish out, so those who take out their time to post sth should be appreciated, because left for some of u, no one will get any info here without paying for it.
Just completed fencing a plot of land with a similar quote posted by someone recently.
So info as such are very much useful to us....

Hmmmm! Sorry oo!! I taught that was the way its to be done! Clearly I am wrong. Wetin I know. We all still dey learn. I don still learn today.

No l will not buy for safety reasons, although the government frowns at buying /building close to pipe lines but I see some people disregard such laws, they get goaded along to buy by omoniles and land owners but they forget that someday it will come back to hunt them, even if you succeed in buying and erecting a building on such lands, what if there is explosion on that pipeline, it becomes pennywise and pound foolish, I will not give it a second thought buying such lands.

Hello house
I am having space issues on my land as regard erecting a water tank stand.
i got the picture below from a thread on this forum, how strong is this?
Will 4" inch pipe spacing at 3feet okay?
I originally intended 4ft, but the space is limited
Thanks

It is a bungalow & the capacity is 2000 gp tank.

Rubbiish:

4500blocks 720k
2000blocks for pillars 360k (if u re using blocks for columns)
Excavation 40k
Bricklayer 300k
Sand 40tons 60k
Granite 20tons 50k
Cement 100 260k
Contingencies 50k

Note d prices above re subject to change depending on ur location

Water which will depend on u. borehole things or well.

Bros, where will labour collect 40k for excavation of fence for 4 plots .

I spent 35k for mine
Not up to 40k sef
Labour is cheap here
500 naira per partition

I am not an expert but me just throwing out my opinion from my little sense. This setup on the picture is dangerous, an accident waiting to happen. Single 4" c channel steel, try climbing up the tank then you will truly feel the impact from wind. My thought is overtime the weight and constant movement from the wind will cause a joint to snap or even deformation on the stand itself . For a bungalow the effect might take time compared to a Storey building. A friend told me of a bladder tank they use out in the country side in Canada but I just can't recall the name of the tank right now. The way it is setup is that the borehole pump, pump in water, while the tank create pressure for house hold by compressing the water in the tank. I just can't remember the full details. A tank like that can be placed on the main floor and will eliminate all these elevation setup. Again just from my sense

Not too certain if there is a written law. But I think if your land in question is +100 meters away from the pipeline location then it's okay.

why not use underground tank because this poses danger.

I can see NL super engineers questioning people's free quotes without countering such with superior quotes.

You are all well dones.

Thanks for the insight.

It is not up to 100m. Other than risks of explosion and inferno, what else could be a problem? Other folks are putting up structures.
Just wondering...I wouldn't consider this place for anything residential though

The most important risk is the government of the day when they come knocking.
If you can get a CofO for that land/property from the governor/government then you can go ahead.

I wouldn't advise u to try one legged stand
Four legs with a close spacing of even 3ft will be more balanced than one leg.

moulding your blocks for 4500blocks likely cost u N500,000
Lagos setting block one is N50 and Benin 100 blocks bricklayer N3k and server 2k
setting 4500 blocks about 230k

Yeah....Nice analysis
Moulding of blocks tend to be more cheaper
But because of the controversies sorrounding the land, we had to quickly buy blocks to fence it
In the north where the fencing was done, they charge 30 per 6inches block & 40 per 9inches.
I preferred counting because everyone tends to be more serious trying to meet their target.
The 100block per day thing is very hard for many manson to meet when it comes to 9inches block.

Thanks & u too sir.

Honestly, I did fencing of a exactly the same size few years ago. Im sure that fewer than 66 columns were used at the end of the day. lets do simply calculation for COLUMNS alone!!!

Perimeter Length:

200 ft +200ft +100ft+100ft = 600ft

So,

3Blck(10 Coarses) = 30Blocks

So, 2000Block / 30Blocks =66.6 ~= 65 columns can be made

Now @ 10ft spacing,

600ft / 10ft = 60 sections

Its possible in MY view

snakebeat:

@bold Wrong!!!
Sir 2000blocks for that size of land for columns is not much, unless u are envisaging 1 block per column & not the conventional 3 blocks.

Hello Nlanders, please I intend to start my project and am looking for expects opinion on the amount I should budget for just fencing a 4plot of land. Land is measured 200 x 100ft. I need like the number of cements, blocks and workmanship I should be expecting to work with. Thanks in advance

Rubbiish:

U should have first of all asked about my location & number of course which i proposed for the fencing before studiously & subtly condemning my post. He gave 100ft by 200ft land size. U do the calculation, using 3blocks as columns for 10 course fencing @ a spacing of 3m & see the no of blocks u will get for fencing. I clearly stated the figures are subject to change regarding location & i was never expecting the op to use it as his final post, but to serve as a guide. If u have got something better & closer to his post, u should have posted it.

I swear, I respect you more on this even if the figures are not what the "Oga professionals" them want. Why would your figures even make sense when people feel... No, the OP should pay for the info.
What I dislike is the way everybody came in condemning your post without giving alternative suggestions or to state what is actually wrong with your figures. Some were even outrightly sarcastic. Kí ló de?
The other I don't understand is the rapid sharing of phone numbers for professional advice.... By the time person schuk head inside that one... Story for the gods go begin...

Rubbiish:

U should have asked the no of coach
U guys don't need to start gathering meeting on my post
What i did was only a guide & i see absolutely nothing wrong in that
If u have sth better post it.
I m not here to drag contract with anyone
I clearly stated the figures are subject to change depending on location

Oga calculate the number of blocks for a 10coach fencing & post the number of blocks for pillars here @bold.

Abi oh... Lol

What about all the quotes we have be seeing on this very thread? Which alot of us has benefited from....
Do they visit the land before coming up with those quotes?
Pls lets not disuade pple from sharing info here
The thread is already dwindling knowledge wise....

Thank you jare... Bro, God bless your muscles. It is not as if the OP will not hand the work over to an expert before. After getting this rough guidance here, he will be better informed or better guided when he negotiates with some hawks of professionals outside.

No one said visit the land. You only ask certain Questions before giving information. So that you dont give wrong/incorrect information. Anyway
I see how you love to Benefit from Wrong Information! Nice one!!!

nor be so. The response wasn't supposed to be a professional quote which should be subjected to a magnifying glass scrutiny.... A rough guide it was...
He was also detailed enough to say things may change depending on location, topography etc...
