I am Engr Dubem, am one of the engineers working with BEAREN BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LIMITED and CAPITAL SHELTERS AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LTD as a Structural engineer and a supervisor in the Civil Engineering Department.

I have some experience to share with us in the course of this construction and its processes.

We are currently in Enugu North, New Haven Enugu; where we are assigned to build an eatery.

Let's once again plan, design and construct together a new contemporary structure for commercial use along Chime Avenue, New Haven Enugu in a space of few weeks before the interior finishing and glazing.


You are welcome, please let's visit the site.

Due to the number of trees here one may argue if this is a reserved forest or an orchard in the middle of a town like chime avenue.

However, we have to start preparing the land for the assignment.

Uprooting 27 trees is a tough one though but we appreciate such assignments

More trees felled.

More than 12,000 blocks parked for years to be evacuated from the land.

Splitting the logs.

Metal Container / kiosk squatters to vacant soon.

Uprooting, splitting, disposal and Clearing off...

Splitting the log in parts

Welldone engineer.

We are moving it off the site, it belongs to a nearby church. They will see to the cost.

For bungalow only or is it advisable to use these old blocks for multi storey construction like blocks of flats.

bungalow

Blocks aren't meant to bear loads. Provided the cement/sand ratio used in moulding them gave quality blocks, they can be used for any construction work, I think.

They're just for partitions, and cement plaster is used to screed and cover them afterwards.

Splitting more logs

All the metal kiosk moved out by Capital Territory Authority

Clearing the entire site

Ready for temporal covering, done with clearing, the payloader has done a good job.

Here is the template, i believe it will come out better.

Very correct but there are load-bearing blocks CHB

Yes, depending how old the blocks are, but excluding foundation construction due to lateral earth pressure.

We are going to make store and rooms for workers.

However there's need to cover the site temporarily.

We are going to make an open Borehole or deep well of about 140feet depth by 3.6ft width , the water project is already on.

Geophysical survey result suggests the process and specification.
