Thank you very much sir
I really do appreciate
Good morning sir, you can introduce something like this, it's called AMF PANEL(Automatic Mains Failure Panel) since your project is a factory and all machines must running 24hrs. This panel changes automatically whenever there is power failure(i.e No PHCN), it will send signal to generator to start immediately and also send signal when PHCN restore power.

It’s still a December 2021 talks so far
Rate per unit is higher than PHCN rate but you will get constant power supply at least 22hrs everyday if there is no issue.

People that are using it hardly use generator. They only have inverter as back up for the short period of outage

You are welcome sir, But you can still do a second load calculation to be sure of the size of generator you are buying, might not be up to 200kva as you proposed

Let's have the running and starting current or Power rating of each equipment, I will do the load calculation for .

You can post it here and I will respond

Thank you topsy
I have been waiting for your reply.
It's in epe.
Those IPP
Are they in specific places or they can generate power for you wherever you want
Pls not this is not a big factory
Just a small setup
Where my plan is 200kva generator max
Getting 22hrs power supply in epe will be wonderful
The highest so far is 18hrs
In some places
IPP are presently in Ikoyi, Victoria island, Lekki and part of Ibeju Lekki,

Most of their cables runs through underground

If you can get 18hrs power supply per day that means the area is good. And solar is not the best option based on the total load you have . Solar inverter of 200KVA with lithium battery should be between 50-70m.

The only option available is to run on generator for 4hrs

My questions are now going to be plenty.
I am very very sorry sir.
I am working on something that needs 247 power supply. Diesel gen should never exceed 5hours of usage daily. This is the only way I can make profit.
Now the place I am planning to
Power supply there is 15-18 hours daily. Which is still not okay enough. I might make money, but it won't be enough as diesel will eat into it.

Do you advice I change location or what?
Is the 33kva power those high tension wires or those normal highway wires that connect city to city.
Solar is not also an option.
I have an option of another place that can boost of 20hours of power daily.
But land there is expensive
I am thinking of going the leasing route
We have 11KV and 33KV high tension line. Most of the 3-Aluminium wires run on 9m poles are either 11KV or 33KV line as shown in the picture below.

On 33KV line you are quaranteed of minimum of 18hra power supply per but it will now depends on location these days. But in Lagos there is another power supply company called IPP(Independence Power Project). With IPP you are guaranteed of 20-22hrs power supply everyday.

There is a way you can she's your load by using bigger generator for peak period and smaller generator for the off peak period. Diesel is more expensive these days and its really killing alot of business.

In terms of access to the architectural and structural drawing, do they have to each make copies or would one be displayed on site? Because they all need one to do their different jobs.
Normally for a standard project that involve structural, MEP Consultants, QS, Builders (main contractor), project manager and MEP contractor. Following must be available on site

-All drawings must be available on site.
-The workshop drawings from MEP contractor
-Programme if work that shows the completion date
-Sample board
-Weekly progress report to be forwarded to project manager and client
-Submittal for all equipment to be deploy
Coordination meeting to be hold monthly on bi-monthly to discuss issues and constraints

Nice . Love the no story , no drama . That’s how I roll .

After my first commercial project that the plumber , electrical person , steel Guy , Cctv , aluminium and others came separately apart from the builder , note that this guys dint do a quarter of some stories I read here , some of them were mad no doubt but I dint have energy for the constant liaising and dealing with issues With many of them


I learnt going forward to give one person mep , Cctv etc and the builder does his thing . While the builder and architect jointly helps supervises the aluminium guys and other works , also employed a full time project supervisor. Some of the contractors from the first project don beg tire . I don’t do stress , life is too short
Yeah life is too short. Coordination is always a problem having different contractors on site. Except there is monthly site meeting that's involve all the stakeholders
