Good morning nairalanders,

Any idea the cost of a pile point that will be 26metres deep. I intend to use driven pile. Location is on the mainland and area is really water logged. I think Segymoor has worked in that location before.

Contact him for more detail information and probably what you should be on the cost or budget.

This thread is not lively again.....

Hello Electricians in the house. I was given the below quote for electrical wiring in my ongoing 6 bedroom duplex with an ante room, main living room and two small family living area. Kindly assist to help me scrutinize the quote as I think the person that connected me to the electrician might have told him to inflate the quote. Your response will help me a lot.

All the people that dropped comments are all right but let look at it this way.

If the client is buying inverter AC and the distance from DB to each AC unit is not far or more than 10m. I will surgest 2.5mm cable is very much okay. But if the client is yet to decided on the type AC units is installing, the 2.5mm can be changed to 4mm.
The size of cable as specified in the IEEE regulation is 4mm for the conventional type of AC. Also, the new design of AC units these day is energy efficient.

For the water heater 2.5mm cable is pretty much okay.

If the project is East, the best cable in those area is Cutie and it's very good and expensive. Cutix cable and Nigerchin are of the same quality.

2.5mm cable is for sockect, let the electrician change the size.

Let him include 1.5mm cable to the lighting cables for the mains coming from the ditribution board and 1mm can be use for looping.

Seeing the floor plan or electrical design drawings will help us give the estimated quanties of cables required. Our brothers from east like building mansion. I have a project in Anambra presently and I know the reason why I said mansion.

Pls beware of this fraudster called LIQUID POINT ENERGY LIMITED. He requested for DB's and send me a fake transaction receipt. Pressuring me to deliver that the delay from crediting my account is because of inter Bank transfer. Till today no money has been credited to my account. Pls don't a victim. Thank God for my life. His number is 08080677791

darc:

Look like Gerald roofing sheet

Deeegbee:
What is the difference between a 3/4 HP and that of 1.5 HP?

1.5hp is more powerful than 3/4HP if they are of the same brand. 1.5HP will pump faster than 3/4HP. If you have a very deep borehole pls don't go for 3/4HP because of head/height

Good evening

OgwuEgo:

It’s going to be a new connection. There is no existing one.

10mm cable should be able to carry sir. What's the length

sonnie10:
I need one asap but na #350k I go pay. Do I need armored cable to connect to soundproof gen?

Sir, 360k is the amount from their company, the 5k is just the transport to pick it up. As for the cable, I need to know what happen to existing cable andbefore we change it sir. Also the size is important too.

sonnie10:

With the listed items above, you will need up to 8-ways 3-phase sir. The socket and the lights are not part of items you listed above.

sonnie10:

How many ways sir, we have different ways
4-ways
6-ways
8-ways
12- ways

The number of ways will depend on the size of your building. Pls give me the breakdown of the below items

sonnie10:
My boss, quick question. Do I need a 3 phase distribution box? An electrician came and said I should change the current 1 phase to 3 phase. How accurate is this information?

I don't know the size of your building, and overlo😒
ading can caused what happened. If you are using a single phase distribution board, it means all load will be on a phase and it can overloading if the size and the rating of the main breaker is lower than the internal load.
If you change to 3-phase distribution board it means all load will be distributed on the the 3-phase .

Again the breaker might be inferior too because there a lot of fake breakers in the market theses days.

I received a call from a client this week Wednesday telling me that they have issue on a yellow phase. The breaker has already melted and the cable has started burning. We visited and check what happened, on getting to the estate we discovered all breakers are fake and the rating of the breaker is not up to what was written on the breaker. We brought a new breaker and change the breaker that got burnt. Now we about 17 breakers in the estate of panel . They even use Schneider breaker bought from Alaba.

So, you might need to check the breaker very well too.

Thanks

dapotemi:

Hi Topsy23,

I was waiting for them to send me the design drawing so that I can reply you but I kept getting tons of excuses. Well I am not into the Wall bracket light. It's a 6 flats of 2 and 3 bedrooms on each side. Thankyou for the information.

Not a problem boss. 5pkts double knockout box won't be enough for the 6units of 3 and 2 bedroom flats. See my breakdown below:

Kitchen 6units
Minimum of 3double for each kitchen, making total number of double in all the kitchen 18numbers I. e 3*6= 18,. Remember 1pkts of 3*6 knockout box contain 5pcs . For 5pkts it means total number 3*6 is 25pcs.

Sitting room will have minimum of 3 double sockets, so 3*6=18. Making total number double knockout box to be 36pcs. Approximately 8pkts. Changeover location will have one each.

Rooms can have 2 or 3 single sockets depend on client decision and also location..

temi4fash:
I hear this a lot this days.. that people no longer use will bracket..

So what was used to replace the wall bracket?

Any ideas

The wall bracket has been replaced with ceiling light/recess light/spotlight./Strip light. Some clients still use wall bracket in a rented apartment/s. Like I earlier said; ONE MAN'S FOOD IS ANOTHER MAN'S POISON.

Ndyoo:
Engineers and Electricians in the house, this is the quote I got for the last flour of my 6 flats 2 storey building . Is there anything missing? I am more concerned of something missing and of course of the quote. I am more worried about the fittings...

Don't think anything is missing here except for him to change the Y-Box to 4-way box. Having Y-box means you are using wall bracket light on the project. Wall bracket light is becoming old fashion of electrical installation. Although some people still cherish it because ONE MAN'S FOOD IS ANOTHER MAN'S POISON..
The quantity of conduit pipes quoted above might not be enough based on your description of the project and. 6 flats(but number of bedroom was not stated). Your design drawing could have helped in giving a proper quantities of materials needed and also to guide you more on the installation process and procedures. Thanks

Cables price has gone up again

Beframia:
What are the factors to be considered if one wants to connect to a borehole who is about 200m away? Please note that the borehole is already in use and sited in a residential property.
Thank you.
@topsy23
@rotecch77

What you should consider is
-Size of submersible pump that can pump to the height mentioned above.
-Flow rate.

Noworries11:
Again, thank you so much
Our site supervisor is pressurising to stock more cements that would be used, reason he's been informed by the seller that price is about to/has gone up to 14k.
Anyone has got this info too?
Too much pressure though it won't be funny if it turns out to be through.
Person still find money to fund project

Not sure about the price increase but recently all cable manufacturers increase their prices. And the increament is about 30℅. God will help us in this country.

Noworries11:

People, the block wall in that pool is called retention wall, it prevents the soil around the pool from pushing directly on the yet to be installed concrete walls.

Yes you are right sir or retaining wall. To prevent the wall from collapse. The concrete casting will later be done. Weldone@ Rotecch77
