CONSTRUCTION

The increasing demand for sustainable food production and environmental conservation has necessitated the development of eco-friendly agricultural structures. This study focuses on the design and construction of an eco-friendly minimizing ecological impact. The project integrates locally available and biodegradable materials such as bamboo, palm fronds, and recycled mesh to
create a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable housing system. The screen house was designed to provide an ideal microclimate—maintaining adequate humidity, temperature, and ventilation—to enhance the growth, breeding, and survival rates of Achatina species. Solar-powered lighting and a rainwater harvesting system were incorporated to reduce energy consumption and promote resource efficiency. Performance evaluation of the structure showed improved snail growth rate, reduced mortality, and minimal pest invasion compared to conventional open systems. The results demonstrate that eco-friendly screen houses offer a production. practical, low-cost, and sustainable solution for small- and medium-scale snail farmers, aligning with global efforts toward green agricultural innovations and climate-smart animal

This study investigated the various applications of glass in construction to educate readers on the social, economic, and environmental advantages of using glass in Nigeria's construction sector. The study examined how glass has been used in most of Nigeria’s building design and construction sector. Although glass has played a significant role in the construction industry and has to a large extent improved the quality of buildings, there is still a great deal of unrealized potential that can be used in construction for novel purposes. Therefore, to broaden people's perspectives and educate them about the significance of glass in daily life, the research compared the usage of glass in the local area to a building internationally acclaimed in the aspects of function, aesthetics and the sometimes- overlooked structural capabilities of glass.

In Nigeria, a borehole is one of the best means of obtaining clean water in field condition. However, field operations in remote areas or in difficult conditions often require flexibility and imagination in avoiding and solving technical problems. The automated borehole regulator serves as a means to control the pumping of water between predefined upper and lower limits. This system mainly works on a principle that “water conducts electricity”. 5 wires are dipped into the tank with a certain gap between each wire will indicate the different water levels. Based on the outputs of these wires, microcontroller displays water level using LEDs as well as controls the flow of water by controlling the motor of the pump. In the 1st phase, the program is burnt into the microcontroller, and the 5 copper wires are used to indicate water level, and a motor controls the flow of water. An increase in the water level is determined by the wires, and the signal is sent to the microprocessor and afterwards displayed on the LCD screen. The overall system testing of integrated design of voltage measurement device. The testing and integration are done to ensure that the design is functioning properly as expected thereby enabling the intended user(s) for which the project was targeted for, appreciate its implementation and equally approaches used in the design and integration of various modules of the project.
