Goke7: The Jakande government had already awarded a contract for a subway system before Buhari’s coup truncated it. Matter of fact Buhari’s regime still went ahead to pay 70% of the contract sum as penalty for cancelling the contract! Did the initiators of the project and the contractors not know back in 1982 that the “water table is too low for underground tunnels”? 1 Like 1 Share |

Tunde835: we are not advanced enough for an underground tunnel pls, common drainage issues we can't fix, is underground tunnel you want to do and do you know how many buildings will have to go because of the tunnels, you can go build tunnels in a developing city but not in a too densely, poor drainage system city like Lagos 1 Like 1 Share |

azpekuliar: so you want it now after how many years? Are you aware Lagos is sinking? |
Re: Why Lagos Needs Underground Transport Tunnels by selfemployed(m): 11:42am On Jun 02, 2020 |
Benevento: Yes. Just let it solve a problem, users will fund it. They already pay toll gate fees along airport road for no problems being solved |

Goke7: What will it cost to build good drainage and decongest Lagos |
Re: Why Lagos Needs Underground Transport Tunnels by budaatum: 11:55am On Jun 02, 2020 |
Goke7:While I want to agree with you, a tunnel is currently being built under densely populated London. You should see the extent they go to to protect buildings above ground though. https://twitter.com/Crossrail/status/1267764056749989888?s=20

Re: Why Lagos Needs Underground Transport Tunnels by ahaz: 1:10pm On Jun 02, 2020 |
Goke7:but I use to think tunnels can be dug very deep under the earth with considerable measurements that will not affect surface buildings..just asking beo |

Re: Why Lagos Needs Underground Transport Tunnels by omonnakoda: 1:16pm On Jun 02, 2020 |
Goke7:Too low or too high? I don't think that makes it an Engineering impossibility but is likely to make the cost prohibitive. The Eurotunnel from London to Europe passes through the sea. An underground Metro system would cost billions of dollars and be very disruptive. Many houses would have to be destroyed and the cos of compensation alone would be insane An overground metro is the rational choice |
