joycluv: For some its just mere fancy. For others it adds more beauty to the place. For fear of little children or the aged getting hurt, you can do a 3" or 4" step down. |

While digging our septic tank, water started springing forth at 6 ft and it is still going to 12 ft cos it's for 3 bedroom twin flat. Pls, house what can be done cos the water is much, just like a well? We asked the men to stop work for a while and allow us look for a lasting solution so I ran here. Help us please |

Haryanphe:you might have to wait till dry season but if you want it done now and well done then you have to do a precast of the septic tank on the ground before you lower it into the hole . This method is the best for water logged area but it is capital intensive as you have to use lots of iron rods,cements,granite and sand (no brick/block setting) 2 Likes |

Etranshub:cc Haryanphe Even if u decide to wait for dry season, u may still need to adopt the bold approach for your type of land to avoid possible collapse. Walls should be majorly of concrete... |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Haryanphe(f): 4:33pm On Oct 05, 2018 |
Rubbiish: OK sir, thank you for your input but please can you help out with the cost implications of the precast. The septic tank is 12 by 12 while the soak away is 8 by 8. Thank you once again sir |

Haryanphe:you are always welcome ma but just as stated by @rubbiish and as I said earlier the best for this type of land will be the precast to avoid possible breakdown of the septic tank in the future. It is better to be on a safe side . |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Haryanphe(f): 5:19pm On Oct 05, 2018 |
Etranshub: OK sir, will start working towards it |

Haryanphe: If I may ask, which state is your site located? What foundation type did you do for the building on that same land? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Hajivince(m): 9:01pm On Oct 05, 2018 |
Haryanphe: You can actually do a Sespool which is the best method deploy for areas with high water table. All you need is get a competent Mechanical Engineer/Consultant to help you fix it as soon as possible. P.S: Construction during dry season won't solve the issh totally coz when the water table is up again without proper channeling of underground water, it is eventually gonna lead to disaster if not properly done. |

Haryanphe: No problem Madam. Just let me know if I can be of help. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Daboomb: 7:54am On Oct 06, 2018 |
Tracypacy: I actually cant decipher what you are trying to say, especially the bolded parts above. What is normal house fencing? Initially you said two coaches, which is what l worked out for you. Are you implying you want it higher? If YES, you can use what l estimated for you, and multiply by the number of coaches. You also said the plot is 100 by 200. Is that 100ft by 200ft for EACH PLOT? All the same, you have to read what l wrote and apply it to your own situation. One thing that might also be of help to you is to note that One bag of cement sets 40 - 50 Blocks If you divide your total number of blocks in that estimate l did for you, by 45 (average), that should give you approximate number of bags of Cement you would need for your blockwork. 2 Likes 1 Share |
