Quarry waste is top soil, do you mean StoneDust?

Elders statemen, please your advice
Client call me to inspect site for delivery, met with the engineer on site after much discuss, it is clearly obvious my client over trusted his engineer, my client never believed anything i said before the beginning of the project, i was not call for delivery, but now am called a permutation is called for.

Is it professional to leave the deal?

Hello all,
Please I want to build a 2-bedroom apartment of say 9.800m x 5.4m in Ibadan. I already have a 4-bedroom bungalow built but I want to deck it and build a 2-bedroom bungalow. Please can you advice me on how much a plan may cost? Thank you

Sorry to say this, there in nothing called MEDIUM YEILD from my experience. That was where my predicament started, with this so called medium yield. The first driller, our agreement was to drill 60 meters according to the report. He drilled between 38 and 40 meters and he hit water. Unfortunately I later found out his machine could not drill through the rock above the 40 meters. He stopped and told me that it was a medium yield. Everyday we tried, he pumped for half hour with low pressure and it stopped pumping. We did this back and forth for over 2 months arguing about pump and generator. He told me that the generator had no power to pump. He made over 30 appointments in between 2 months and only showed up twice. I finally made up my mind and told him I am ready to pay all over again and that was when he opened up, and introduce me to the driller. That could drill it with the right equipment, it took about 2 days to get the guys to the site. In 4 hours their machine blasted through the rock, hit the water aquifer. I stopped them at 70 meters, according to my average calculation between the two tests that I did. The total length of the borehole 70 meters pumping depth is 46 meters laid out pipes to the tower is about another 16 meters. The total pumping length is about 62 meters. We were able to pump 5000 liters in exactly 1 hour with high pressure pumping in every 4 hours . Enclosed is a result of the first medium yield pumping at 38-40 meters.

@Kopell. To buttress your point, I don't think there is anything called medium yield BoreHole either. I called in an independent geologist(before drilling) to do an investigation on my site(on a rocky hill) a few weeks ago. I attached his geological report. His findings indicated a low yield and high yield. To get low yield waterflow at my site, the borehole has to dug to a depth of 97 meters(300 feet!) and a high yield water flow meant that the borehole must be at a depth of 184.86m (600 feet!!). The geologist made it clear to me that if I go for the low yield, that I will encounter a high iron content in the water(from the borehole at 300 feet) and it will most likely dry up in the Dry season.

My driller(because I had complained about cost) pushed me to go for the low yield(97 meters depth)borehole. I just decided not to drill anymore because I didn't want to get disappointed at 97 meters and I cannot afford to dig a borehole to a depth of 184 meters(600 feet). Furthermore, another independent hydro-geologist told me that the iron content in the water may discolour the water or lead to proliferation of bacteria since bacteria thrive on iron. This may necessitate the addition of a water treatment equipment to be installed at my site(More expenses for me). My take on all this is that digging a borehole is not always feasible in every location.

I meant those waste containing large rocks, small rocks and sand they use in road construction. They normally set them aside at quarries as waste.


Look at the pictures below.

Maybe.

You should never accept ALL deals that you run across. Unless it meets y overall corporate goal then it's definitely not worth it to me.

Egun welcome back from your leave of absent, hope everything is fine. We miss your contribution oh.

Its all depends on your design, as far its meet the building code. Our professional experience Archited in the house can give U design that will feet in your land size. My advice to U, do your diligent very well before U commit anyone to your dream. I just red a sad touching story about one roofing vendor or contractor, that says he doesn't give a crab about his clients concern. Because he only as 5 % clients online. In my opinion, it's very disappointing for a contractor that came here online himself to expose how people are bing ripped off. So sad, himself end up ripping people off. Which way Naija?

Its possible. Just get an architect to visit the land and measure the plot before giving you a design.

I have a thing or two to say about bore-holes in general.
It's totally unrelated to the Oga FastShipping issue on ground.

If my Ogas say I should continue, then I will.

alist:
yes its possible. Then have two stairs halls taking you to the two bedrooms upstairs with one of the two bedroom flat having one of the stair hall privately. The other two sharing the other stair hall. Thinking u can still have five self contains room and parlour (one bedroom flat ) down instead of the four to balance the three two bedroom up.the three twobedrooms sounding bigger than the four self contains room and parlour (one bedroomflat) again until I work out a design all these are just thoughts. Hope this helps.
