Estate design done

EgunMogaji2:
Could you please share pictures?

Thanks.

Below is recently designed estate in Abuja.

750KVA transformer is to power the whole estate based on our calculations, We have 3nos Generators rated 350KVA, 350KVA and 250KVA to be synchronised together. A Synchronization /Automatic changeover panel was designed for the whole of the estate. Each building is connect to Feeder pillar as shown on the drawings. There are 7no feeder pillars and one feeder is feed 4 buildings and the total number of duplex is 29.

There is provision for checkmeters to meter each apartment to read both PHCN and Generators. The facility manager is to do the calaculation at the end of the month and send to individual apartment

Check the attached drawings

EgunMogaji2:
I'm toying with an idea to offer centralised water distribution in the estate that I'm developing next. I'll like to hear thoughts, rumours and opinions on the feasibility of this endeavour. Can it be done? I think so.

Also for electrical boxes at the plot entrance, what boxes are available?

Thanks.

Central water distribution is very possible using braithwait tank. Maybe using using water meter meter to know individual consumption for billing.

For the electrical, feeder pillar to be located in a centralise location where all the house can be connected to.

Also underground cable must be adopted

Whenever I see something like this l, it breaks my heart.

Is this a structural Problem? How can one avoid this misfortune?

Over to our experts in the house.

You need to involve structural engineering from the design stage. Quality materials is also key as well.

Bosses in the house, It's me again.... , one quick curious question, How do you guys ensure the safety & security of materials in your building site........my estate has been hot lately with some thieves who specialize in stealing rods even when the rods are securely chained........this night/morning they succeeded in moving a number of 10mm & 8mm rods from my site...…..av been mad since morning, considering the rising cost of rods by the day........I honestly wish I can dash the thieves Leprosy in their hands & legs...............

Is there no security on your site? You need to get one to avoid this

There is this company that have solution to dampness and and leakages

The name is Revimca Waterproofing Systems Ltd

hamtabfawaz:

This looks intresting to me. A question though, how long (years) can these batteries last before changing them? Thank you.

Do you have the full details sir

I need your mail address for the detail quote

gbadexy:
Screeding is done to give a smooth and soft layer on a plaster surface and it can be further sandpapered to give a smooth finish that regular cement plaster can't give.
If you don't screed, nothing would happen as long as you aren't using paint with sheen but if you use correct matte with low sheen or silk and you don't screed or at least prime it to smoothen the surface, the reflection of light on the wall surface would highlight the roughness and other faults on the surface.

Boss can screeding treat crack on the wall?

Call us ...Happy weekend

somehow:
Do you have the full details sir

Yes I have the cost but will share with you later in the evening when I get to Lagos

EgunMogaji2:
All you people stormed Ibadan without wetting the ground. There’s God o.

Eriko2K2 please jot down the names. Put Oga @rmx join

Am loyal sir, I will pop champagne

Saw one heavy duty power bike at Akala road this morning, thinking you re the one

rmx:
Central Ac more expensive than individual Acs , same with maintenance and running cost , power might be more too , nearly proceeded With one for a project . Changed my mind after several advice .

Is like poswer consumption is minima compare to conventional type but the cost of purchase is high .

Boss we are in Ibadan since yesterday. I will be expecting you on site today to get some clarification on the ground floor poswer distribution.

EgunMogaji2:
In my case it’s not about the size or effectiveness of solar heater (I actually own a renewable energy company), I need multiple source of energy. So, electric water heater plus solar water heater. Like for house power I use a hybrid inverter so I get power from solar panels or generator or NEPA.

Thanks Sir.

Using a solar hybrid inverter will minimize the consumption on NEPA. U will pay less only if you are using prepaid meter. I don't know if your solar inverter will be able to power all your AC, if it can power all tye AC then you will hardly use NEPA.

I have a client that installed 25KVA solar hybrid inverter for his duplex and decided not to connect to national grid(NEPA). But he spent huge amount of money installing the solar then . 72nos of DECAGEL(made in USA) baterry installed which can last for 24hrs on full load.

EgunMogaji2:
In my situation as a prepper, I require multiple sources of energy if possible. Though I will have a solar heater in the near future it didn’t hurt me to toss a 50L tank up in the attic during my build.

You can have a 100LItres solar water heater to serve a duplex. It will reduce the total load of the building. The major in building these day days are AC and water heater.
