You sabi Olohun
Only few people know these pump, especially Lowara, Ebara( same importer .. itshekiri guys one of there office is close to my coker Orile office same mkt ) , grundfos, pump, Capri pump, caprari pump, all there pump comes in many designs like
Vertical pump, dynamic pump centrifugal pump, etc

Not like indomie generation chinko pump

Yeah boss seriously those pumps mentioned are very good but cost is not friendly. But clients that loves good thing prefer them to all these China pump seen in the open market

FEGEITOK:
Abeg what is the going rate for 1hp submersible water pumps?
DAB
Myhome
Martya
Lorenzi
Interdab

I was told of Grundfos 400,000 (out of the question, too expensive)

Then when i balked at the cost an Italian brand whose name I did not quite catch was presented at the cost of 150,000 but that comes with 3 years warranty ( expensive but it will give peace of mind, is the peace of mind worth the cost?)

In the open market, they sell 1 hp submersible pump for 50,000 ( I don't know the brand, I did the market survey over the phone) and you are on your own if anything happens.

What is the current state of play with submersible pumps in Nigeria?

I just want to spend my money wisely and there is not enough information from running searches to come to a conclusion that stands the test of time.

nairaland has been wonderful, I have read nearly every post that has the words pump and submersible in it

Grundfos and LOWARA pump are the most expensive pump and they are the best also. Durable and very strong. LOWARA cheapest pump is about 680k and their pump normally determine by flow rate and distance where it pumping to.

Good day house.
Pls I was advise to use these for my plan 6 rooms self contain.
Does it really work or how does it work?

One question for you , do you have individual distribution board/consumer unit for each of the flat. If your answer is yes?

How did distribute/run cable from the prepaid meter to individual distribution board/consumer unit ?

It will only work if you separated feeder cable to each apartment

Again how do want meter the common services like external light, borehole. Are you buying checkmeter for this too

For metering and consumption, the meter will read individual consumption and with that you use it to divide the to unit recharge.

My concern now is that the meter must be recharge and exhausted before you can calculated power consumption for each flat

If it is post paid now, it will be easy to calculate and share the consumption among the tenants

Done recently

CivilEngineer90:
What I meant that it wasn't my fault as it has been 3weeks already I didn't remember that. The new one is done already, just to PDF and send. But he's not intending on paying my balance and everyone seem to agree with him

Engr. Complete all the works that need to be done and if the client refuse to pay then come back and let the whole house judge. You need to do your part first.

I have done several MEP drawings for people on this property section. I normally tell them that they should allow me to do 50 to 75% of the work before mobilization, Sometimes I will complete the drawings before I request for payment so far the client is okay with the design drawings. We need to be patient when dealing with people especially online clients .

My little advice

mangolpupa:
[b][/b] What is the specific name that these kind of service is referred as. Looking forward to your reply.

For the earthing materials I can supply you.

I will be expecting your feedback in the cut out fuse

The process is called remodelling / cable management

mangolpupa:
Topsy23 wishing you a Merry christmas and a prosperous healthy 2023 ahead.

Bros, I am thinking of installing a proper earthing and bonding system. can you please give me an idea of what it will cost (material and labor) from your experience.

I also had a quick review of the wiring and it doesn't appear there is any isolator before the DB. Do you have quality isolator for such a circumstance. What I'm thinking of achieving is to be able to shut of grid current (A) before it reaches the DB. This will allow maintenance work/etc to happen on the DB without risk to any electrician.

finally the DB in the house is a very dated "MEM" and I am thinking of adding appropriate breakers like a RCBO or RCCB to run off the old DB. Even If you cant do this personally, can you review, advise and supply appropriate quality configure. I am happy to discuss my thoughts with you.

For the good earthing system. Below is the list of materials to buy with the cost

Earth rod 7nos @ 7000 per one
Earth clamp 1 @ 2500
Earth coupler 6 @ 1000 per one
Earth mat 1 @ 6000
Salt. 1 bag @ 5000
Charcoal 4000
10mm bare copper cable 5m @ 1000 per meter
10mm insulated cable 15m @ 1000 per meter

For the isolating you can Havel product but the rating will now depend on the size of your building . We have 32A, 63A 100A but if you have a cut-out fuse I don't think you need isolator or gear switch..

For the RCCB or RCBO it is a nice suggestion BUT those breakers are very sensitive to eaither fault current, short circuiting, bad resistance value. If you plan to use the above listed breakers you must ensure all these below

Good wiring installation
Good value of earthing value to be less than 5-ohms or possibly to have less than 1-ohm

Settle this issue amicably pls. Both parties should reason with each cos you've over drag the issue.. Pls and pls

Godisgreatest1:
Wow, I wasn't expecting this detailed and timely response Sir. Thank you Sir.

You need to chat me up on whatsapp. It will be somehow difficult to put the price on here because i have to prepare the quote in excel format and also give you options of DB

Quick question. There was recent news that 10 people died at homes last night due to electric shock from a down power line outside. They said it caused sparks outside at the pole faraway, and these people rushed to switch off their lights inside their houses, but they got shocked touching the switches.
I still don’t understand how this is possible. It’s that those houses did not have earth connections?

This is a serious matter. The only thing that can cause it is voltage surge. But my concern is electric shock from the switches and sockets. Are the switches and socket metalclad?.

Normally if there is any surge the only thing that can be affected is the main breaker in the distribution board. And if you have a very good distribution board with tripping unit of 6KA or 10KA , the breaker will trip off

And also advisable to have surge arrestor install at the point of cable entry to your apartment ..

But is the house under the high tension line ?

Makes me remember those days in secondary school, some bad guys with parents that were not so educated would obtain extra money from their parents for, dic differently and tionary differently just for dictionary.

Funny indeed

Good afternoon house. I want to start a project in January and I'm a complete novice. I've studied this thread for weeks and honestly I've learnt a whole lot. I, however feel it's still wise to ask the professionals and experienced members here on what are the first steps to take.

Also, I would appreciate if anyone can recommend an Engineer (preferably in Abuja). I want someone who is honest and doesn't compromise on quality. All responses are highly welcome. Thank you.

Please how do we calculate consumption of 3 different flat connected to 1 prepaid meter....

Is there any gadget that can be installed to get the consumption of each flat?

You can install checkmeter to calculate each flat consumption. Hope they have individual distribution board
