An Evaluation of Industrial Facilities Defects in Selected Industrial Estates in Lagos State, Nigeria
Abstract: The study appraised
the state of industrial facilities in selected industrial estates established
between 1957 and 1981 in Lagos State by examining the nature and causes of
facilities’ defects in the selected industrial estates. The buildings sampled
were load bearing sandcrete block wall (1%), concrete framed structure (83%)
and steel framed structure (16%). Data were sourced using structured
questionnaire administered on the staff of maintenance department of 35
building materials and plastic manufacturing industries purposively selected
and located in 18 industrial estates. Data obtained were analyzed using
descriptive statistic. The study found the structural elements of the
buildings, i.e. foundations, beams, walls, and floors satisfactory. Using the
mean response analysis, the result showed that the most severe factors
responsible for industrial facilities’ defects were combined effects of
geo-climatic factors (2.35), combined effects of biological agencies (2.15),
corrosion (1.98), and physical aggression on the facilities (1.71).
