Hello, thank you for the advice. Where can I find more info about H Beam, 4" galvanized steel, and the steel stand (I mean pictures of what you are talking about)? In the meantime, I will do some 'Googling' smiley
H Beams are steel in H form
While galvanized pipe are in circular form.
But u will need to engange an experience welder & a manson to supervise the construction if u are building on a good soil. but if your land is waterlogged, u may need to involve a professional.

price for sharp sand was not included because we have that on ground. I have a problem with the cost of the granite though. Any idea how much a ton costs normally
Granite price varies with location
Is the slab on the culvert serving as a major access or an alternative?

Good day my people, and peace be unto you. I want to construct a water tank stand for a four 3 x bed flats one storey building (ground and first floor). Which is better (or cheaper), metal stand or brick/concrete stand, and roughly how much will either cost (materials and labour). The area is Ota in Ogun State. The stand is for 2 tanks (about 2000L each). Thank you
Better; go for H beams steel
Cheaper go for 4" galvinized pipe or concrete.
But i normally advise steel stand, because one may need to utilize space in the future, u can easily relocate steel stand, but concrete stand is not moveable.

This your first point further buttress my point.
Why can't a shallow foundation carry the load? Is it not because of the height which will definitely increase the weight of the building?
All these engineering calculation all stems from simple logic, u need to see the sizes of columns supporting bridges, they can never be same with those supporting a concrete parapet for bungalow. I will never accept same supporting column sizes for bridges & parapet because of calculation....
We use 12mm for bungalow reinforcement, but it is not recommended for duplex, i haven't use less than 16mm, because as height increases, load increases....Applying engineering principles doesn't stop logic....
@emboldened true.
U can't really seperate height from depth in construction, same principle apply to cantilever, the protrusion should also be maintained on the other side. It is simple equilibrum. Take ur NGL as centre point, but doesn't work 100% for foundation, but same principle & idea.

I will assume you're an Engineer or some sort.
Kindly put up the design plan for soakaway done to back up your fact.
That is how I want to learn so I can properly inform my clients the reason why I would want to start using baskets for soakaway construction.

If you want to quench my ignorance put up the design plan made for a soakaway as you have always done for your clients.
Thank you.
Hahahahahaha
What do i stand to gain in all of this??
U that have been building coulmns for bungalows without baskets, na soakaway u go for need basket??
U can continue doing it your own way...

No!

There is no proof of a basket being used there.
The actual engineering plan for the soakaway will put to rest this discuss.
You will never learn!!!! undecided
Haba!!!!
Column is column, same principle applies to all type of column construction.
I honestly sorry for your clients if u are a building professional.
This is faceless forum & there is nothing to be ashamed of here
Any vertical stand must have a base, including water tank stand, it maybe small, but there must be a base. If truly u have been building bungalows columns without baskets then i honestly sorry for your clients. It isn't a must to use columns for soakaway & bungalows, but if u want to use it, then do it well. I was expecting u to acknowledge your error & move on after a poster pointed it out, but here u are trying to defend something wrong, the more u try, the more u exhibit your ignorance about construction works. The only difference between duplex columns & that of bungalows is that the basket of one is wider than the other, but they both require baskets. If u have been building columns for bungalows without baskets, know now it is wrong.

diordaves:
Backfilling and compound filling are the same thing eventually[url][/url]. You can't backfill your foundation and not levelling it with the compound. So for example you did a four coarse foundation, best practice is to backfill to the height of just below the DPC level and it is this level you should use to fill the compound.

Unless you're building on top of a hill, lands are seldom higher than roads. I know sand filling the compound is one expense homeowners shy away from, but the truth is if you did a proper high foundation like four coarse, you should back fill the foundation and eventually the compound. Only so can you truly enjoy the benefit of a high foundation as rain water will not settle in your compound but wash away to the adopted road and gutters.
@emboldened not true.
To backfill means to cover up the foundation trenches to natural ground level or adopted ground level, while compound filling has to do with filling of the entire compound inorder to maintain a flat surface for interlock, concrete works etc, direct drainage or to achieve a higher level than the access road.

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
Sorry for responding late, i was offline
We are saying the samething sir
The guy quoted 2000blocks for the columns of the fencing which to me was well calculated
Which some said it was too much
Maybe they were referring to one block per column & not the 3blocks per column

Going by your calculation
30blocks per column
60sections x 30blocks = 1800blocks
Plus some percentage for breakages will still give u 2000 or 2000+
I use nothing less than 15% for breakages

Aventures:
Nice efforts, but I think you assumed a location. For instance your site must be by the side of quarry in other to get granite at of 20 tons at 50k or may be u mean gravel.
2000 blocks for pillars then I think the pillars must be at every 2 feet. I will rather advise OP to do a direct contacts with professional in the house and get a valuable advise before you will start a project and get stuck half way.
@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.
