I've seen websites out there for drafters working as contractors. I can't find any now of course. Not Craigslist.
The Reason why I'm asking is a friend of mine has been custom building homes for 40 years.
He's now specialized to cottage vacation homes. He drafts everything by himself by...
The system is fed from a town water supply. All the gate valves, that were visible to inspectors, were checked to make sure in open position. I know atleast one gate valve was not operable. I don't know if the road box was broken or valve wouldn't turn. I'll check more into gate valve...

Try constructing multiple smaller ponds. Add the rates to determine the peak rates.
I saw a homeowner plant a garden in a portion of a detention basin once. Proximatey to homes does have to be considered, but generally detention basin aren't that much of nuisance.
I just performed an earthwork calculations using Carlson SurvCAD on a small site less than an acre site. I also used the average end area method. The SurvCAD amount was 6% greater than the average end area method.
I work in the North East U.S. and designed a detention basin were the contractor blasted about 10 feet into exising ledge to construct the basin. A perimeter drain was installed to intercept ground water flow into the basin. The perimeter drain worked a little too well! The Grounder water...
The firm I work for just hired a PE with no land development experience and no AutoCAD experience. I'm designer who recently took my PE exam last October. I'm a little incensed that I've been in "trenches" for past five years to get my PE. The License doesn't really carry as much weight when...
Everyone use to ask me if I design bridges when I tell them my profession. I used to say no, but recently I've been specifying the Conspan Bridge product. So I do design them! (at least with hyrology and grading) Any advages to cement concrete pavement over bituminous concrete pavement...
