Understanding TMT Iron Rods What you should understand about TMT iron rods TMT iron rods are Thermo-Mechanically-Treated iron rods which are known for high strength. The name is derived from the manufacturing process which is a thermo-mechanical process where hot steel billets are passed through quenching process. This process hardens the outer surface of the iron rods, enhancing their tensile strength, while the inner core remains soft, increasing its ductility. This alteration in microstructure across the cross-section of the rod imparts enormous strength to it. Also, TMT iron rods do not go through any deformation or twisting processes. This is why their surface is free from cracks and other defects. They are generally used in construction for superior protection against earthquake and other natural disasters. To however ensure safety for your structure, TMT iron rods should be resistant to corrosion as this helps to obtain a longer life to your structure. What is the manufacturing process of TMT? First, to manufacture TMT iron rods, the billets are passed through a rolling mill stand. These billets are again passed through the Tempcore water cooling system. While passing the billets through the water cooling system, the water pressure is optimized. The sudden quenching and drastic change in temperature toughen the outer layer of the rods, thus making them super tough and durable. Once this process is over, the TMT iron rods are subject to atmospheric cooling. This is done in order to equalize the temperature difference between the soft inner core and the tough outer surface. Once the TMT iron rods cool down, they slowly turn into a ferrite-pearlite mass. The inner core remains soft, giving the TMT iron rods great tensile strength and elongation point. This design is unique to the TMT iron rods and gives them superior ductility. More so, this unique manufacturing process and the absence of cold stress make this iron rods corrosion-resistant and boost their weldability. Why you should choose TMT iron rods over local iron rods TMT iron rods have no surface deformities compared to local iron rods. Hence, they are ideal for critical infrastructure for better strength of the structures. TMT iron rods have a higher load-bearing capacity than local iron rods. This helps to reduce the number of iron rods required for constructing a structure, thus also reducing cost of construction. TMT iron rods are more ductile than local iron rods. This results in greater pliability, allowing for aesthetic designing of a structure. They possess high stress yield and the capacity to withstand sudden loads, hence they are highly suitable for construction in zones with frequent or high seismic. TMT iron rods have very few/negligible surface flaws compared to local iron rods, hence they are better at resisting corrosion, even in constructions which are frequently or permanently exposed to water, like canals, dams or bridges. Go for the best TIGER TMT iron rods TIGER TMT iron rods are high quality iron rods which have superior bonding with cement and concrete. They are produced with unmatchable yield strength.

vickzie: It's a fashion statement or abi design statement sef. To me It is art. It is an expression and impression of awe. It gives an otherwise simple building character and I boldly say culture and identity. History will be kind to the building like the Pyramids of Egypt. When the Pyramids were being built, the people saw them odd. Three thousand years later we all know how they turned out. Tall roof is an African impression. I love it. 4 Likes

diordaves:Bros whether art or not, there are structures that majority of persons would disapprove of immediately on first sight. Whether we like old and classic things, we must improve and conform to newer trends. I don't see Egypt building another pyramids in the near future. Imagine still using Nokia 3310 simply because "the battery na everlasting". I prefer 21st century Chinese structures to medieval Egyptian structures. How much does Egypt generate from it's pyramids, then compare it to how much Dubai generate from it's Burj khalifa. Even if my grandpa built one of those structures you posted, I go still knock am down build better structure, Can't be driving 1920 rolls Royce wey no get power steering and current tech simply because "classic" when they are better recent cars ![]() 10 Likes |

I think, out of respect for the owner of a property, even if we dont like how it looks, which is a personal decision, we should not make public, disparaging remarks about their building. Building is a thing of joy for the owner and we should not, without good reason, if there was ever one, sour someone's joy by our comments It is disrespectful and not a nice thing to do.

rotecch77: Chief, thanks a lot,, l really appreciate your detailed response. With reference to the highlighted part: Can l add the Surface Pump, with the Riser pipe, to the existing normal borehole Submersible Pump setup? What l mean it, if l can get the riser pipe down to the position where the water level is, side-by-side with that of the 'Riser of the Submersible pump' (or even beyond it), do you think that would work? Since the Submersible's job is to bring up water from deep down the hole and the job of the surface pump is also to suck up water from the hole, the difference is that one is on the surface with a pipe extended down into the hole, while for the other, the pipe is extended to meet the Pump, down below. Thank you Sir. @bixton Thank you very much Sir. I am still on a quest to use a single borehole, two separate pumps with separate Riser Pipes, running on different electricity lines such that if the electricity supply for one pump is ON/OFF, [b]it does not affect the other pump.

Amastermovic: Casting of Oversite concrete (German Floor) 2 masons daily pay @3000 per = N6000 3 or 4 helpers daily pay @1500 per = N4500 or N6000 Total: N10500 /N12000 You can't get better than that. That is provided all materials are provided a day before to enable casting starts by 6:30/7AM in the morning so that proper paying of attention to detail in execution is achieved. Also, carpenter must have finished his formwork for DPC and plumber must have laid starter pipes and guided them into position the previous day. Na our work. I won't charge 10k for labour for DPC casting. The bill is more than fair. Probably the engineer plans to augment any extra costs for section of work from funds saved from previous sections such as blinding. |

GreenArrow1: 12k for DPC ![]() Abi I’m dreaming ni? 100mm thick or just 25mm? Regardless the size of the building I have NEVER budget anything less than 50k for DPC. (Read this part slowly) Below is what DPC look like even in the government affordable housing scheme. You’re not allowed to manually mix concrete. I do minimum of 8 concreters for a 100sqm footprint. Machine Operator - 1 Cement - 1 Water - 1 Granite - 1 Sand - 1 Loader/Carrier - 3 Bricklayer (leveling) - 1 Where will you get casting crew that’ll accept N1,500. _______ @segzyfunmi this is reason why you need to share your building plan.

n3xt: Exactly, that calculation was based around the 10k benchmark in question (remember I said I can't charge 10k for said section of work). I believe the building in question has a small area and the oversite concrete would not be anywhere close to 100mm (more likely 25 or slightly higher). Probably be using hand mix and not conc mixer. A lot of assumptions to work with. Lastly, cost of labour is largely dependent the prevailing prices in location of said project. Over here, labourers get paid 1500 or 500/bag regularly (not strange) to see. I'm handling the construction of the office complex of a Federal parastatal presently and the prices I'm paying for unskilled/semi -skilled/skilled labour are very much different from that obtained when handling smaller private jobs like bungalows all in the same location. 2 Likes |

segzyfunmi: No one will do over site conc. at that rate some practical reason . Cost of boarding the edge (carpenter will charge you) The carpenter still needs to be there should in case of unforseen event Cost of machine and operator If you settled for hand mix Manson will charge more to mix. Over site conc. Mix becomes harder heavier than just blinding When labor hear concrete forget it they will likely not take 1500 except all stages of work is guarantee for that gang.

GreenArrow1: A foundation that’ll gulp N3m is not a small foundation and so 25mm (1in) thick slab is not something you’d consider in a N3m foundation. Even with a very good builder/engineer, N3m will put a good foundation up in Ajah, Lagos. 1 Like |

Price of cement officially increased Dangote and Lafarge blamed it on people's desperation. Their thought is that, the marketers increased the price last year and people still rushed to buy as high as N5000. Hence, if they too increase, Nigerians are headstrong people, they would continue to buy When can we start boycotting products in Nigeria? 2 Likes |

lastpage: @ bolded area ( according to your replied to my earlier post) its possible to used both surface and submersible pump together. But you need to make sure that the pump capacity is enough to pump the water according to the water level of the bore hole. More so you need to redo another iron bore hole cover to be able to accommodate the double pipe See the attached sketch 2 Likes
