Either concrete or steel why can’t we have space saving tank stand designs like this ? I mean not the usual four leg space taking designs always ?

My concern is the stability. The diameter of the pipe must be big to withstand the waves

Born2conquer:

Beautiful, it is beautiful.

Personal preference matters too sha

so yes, after building your expensive house, you don't ruin it. You make it beautiful all round including the tank stand

Dirkcoyt:

this is possible if you want it. It doesn't make it cheaper though. That's because instead of using stuff like 6 by 3 H channel,we increase it to 12 by 6 column beams and at the end of the day, you can only have one tank hanging there instead of space for at least three tanks.

So the economics doesn't support your option especially in a country like ours where power is a problem and we pump water once in two weeks

4 tanks? I am sure this is a rental property though.

Yes, a well designed Concrete tank stand will also come out beautiful and the space under the stand could be converted into anything (store house, Gen house) so far there’s a channel to redirect the spilled excess water from the stand top to the gutter.

What you could use the space under the concrete tank for is endless unlike a mental fabricated stand.

It all depends everybody’s preference too though

1. Climbing frame for kids in the compound. They therefore tend to be healthier and more spritely. In my youth, I have rapidly climbed, then jumped off many of these pretending to be a 'paratrooper'.

2. With a leaky tank, you have an emergency public shower...

etc

yes it's a rental property and yes, you can still use the base of your tank stand for anything you want or even the middle part. Your creativity mindset is what is holding you back.


Anyway just take a look at this beautiful gate. Simple, beautiful, durable and e no tear pocket

Sure, I can give you a month warranty. Nairaland has an upload cap of 4mb but if you chat me on whatsapp I can forward video and more pictures

put the pictures and video here sir, for the benefits of others, you are also helping yourself by so doing, you don't know how many people that maybe interested, apart from me, you have the opportunity now, make use of it.

Remember you have different apps you can use to downsize the videos, if u can't post videos, post the pictures, then one month warranty?

Larwin:


What's the volume of the tanks here?

two(2) 1000 gallons at the top and one (1) 500 gallons at the middle. Making a total of two thousand five (2,500) gallons. It's customizable to fit your specific water needs.

The materials are:

6 by 3 H beam channel(stands and load beams)

4 by 2 H channel (for the poline)

6 by 3 plates for the guzzets

2" angle iron for the diagonals

12 by 12 by 10mm for the base plates

Don't leave me! But I think he has met with them already n they probably know who he is gangan.

Besides, I was in dire need of some1*12 boards yesterday morning around ologuneru, Ibadan n it's unfortunate touring almost all plank sellers there and non has anything wide close to 10inches.
Had to just buy due to the urgency n couldn't wait for my bodija supplier to send down.

Where you wan see 1x12 in Ologuneru

Max is 1x10.. and its even "fadala" and not Sawmill..

That place gives me headache. I can't even get 20tonnes truck for filling.. only 10t for sharpsand too and the sand is not even good o..

I buy 10t sharpsand for 30,000 naira while in PH I buy 30t sharpsand for 30,000..

This work for a buy behind my building,, till today there is a sign on the property that says " military zone keep off"

Dubemcapital1:





Well, I will advise you engage an engineer to handle your Civil Construction projects.

Now, the need for an engineer is to inspect the job and recommend a RCC mix ratio that will be suitable. Be that as it may, let's assume is a raft foundation beam.

However, let's still go with M15 as suggested by some of us:

1bag of cement+ 4buckets of Sharp sand+
8 buckets of crushed stone +
3 buckets of clean water = Concrete design (with compressive strength of 2175psi)

If vibrated, In total the project may take up to:

5 bags of cement (in total)
20 big painter of sand ( about 20ltr painter)
40 big painter buckets of aggregate ( " )
15 big painter buckets of water ( " )


Thanks
dubemcapital

Thanks for this Sir

Kambols95:

Concrete mix calculation (manual)
Length of Concrete- 252 inches
Width of Concrete- 9 inches
Depth of Concrete- 36 inches.
Solution
1st Step:
Conversion of the dimensions to metric unit {SI unit of length} gives us:
New length = 6.40m
New width = 0.23m
New depth = 0.92m
(Hint: 1 inch = 0.0254).
Hence, Volume = 6.40 x 0.23 x 0.92 = 1.35m³
2nd Step:
The mix ratio for a reinforced concrete is 1:2:4(Grade M15) for example.
1:2:4 is equivalent to Cement: Fine aggregate: Coarse aggregate


Volume of Cement in the mix = 1/7 x 1.35m³ =0.19m³
Remember, Density = Mass/Volume
Density of dry Cement= 1440Kg/m³
Density of wet cement = 3150Kg/m³(average).
Therefore, Mass(Kg) of cement = Density x Volume = 3150 x 0.19 = 598.5Kg
Note: 1 bag = 50kg
Total no of bags = 598.5/50 = 11.97 =
12 bags.

Fine aggregate (Sand)
Volume = 2/7 x 1.35m³ = 0.38m³
Dry loose Bulk density = 1550Kg/m³
Mass in Kg = 1550 x 0.38 =589 Kg
I tonne = 1000kg
Hence, Amount of sand = 589/1000 = 0.59tonne

Coarse Aggregate ( Gravel)
Volume = 4/7 x 1.35m³ = 0.76m³
Bulk Density= 1350Kg/m³
Mass = 1350 x 0.76 = 1026kg
Amount in tonne = 1026/1000 = 1.03 tonnes.

Thanks so much for your time Sir

What is the height of your building excluding roof?

About 10.5 m

Any suggestions?

Good evening house, it seems prices are back on the rise ; regarding cement. My supplier just called alerting me of a pending increase again.

Last I bought was 3,700 now it’s 3,900 less that 2 months interval. (Direct from lafarge)

If anyone is interested in splitting 800 bags(400/400) around the lekki axis. Let me know.
