To all my Civil Engineering friends! (Specifically those working on roads/bridges)
(OP)
Hello,
I am a mechanical engineer with a PE licence, and was contacted by a civil engineer friend about a highway proposal their company was putting in that asked for the inclusion of a licenced engineer to handle any mechanical design issues. It was not made clear what this may be, and my friend had never seen this before. It sounds like a promising part time gig, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen something like this or has any idea what the nature of any mechanical design would be on a highway project.
Thanks.

2) Toll booths (AC, automated traffic arms, equipment for the toll plaza, motorized signage, powered traffic signs and signals).
3) Does the bridge need to be lifted for boat traffic underneath? That would be MAJOR. I don't know if I'd take that job if you haven't done it before. You might know machines. But there may be different codes that apply with which you are unfamiliar.
4) Truck weigh stations.
5) Vehicle maintenance stations. This could include pumps and sprays for washing, or possibly a "govt vehicle only" gas station.
