Ever driven down a road and over a bridge and known how far down the piles shiver because you passed over?
Ever passed by a building or park full of people and known that you input provides their saftey?
How often have you known the whole true answer to a politicians "glossing over"...
I am not too proud. What do you mean by ESOP? zdaz04 Good luck. I am rooting for you. This is the forum for you. Should you need the expert opinon of a peer ( not me by the way) you have the hook-up.

Excellent question. One I suspect that all ancient Professionals have faced. My epiphany was when my wife said " Your work or me" I looked at what I was doing.
It is easy to be a workaholic. Managment loves you. It is the "nature of the beast" that companies are...

This is a pet peeve of mine. Who is sealing these plans? you or the client? If your client wants to meet 2000IBC standards, then do the tests required. One of the problems with using a standard is that very quickly it becomes not a minimum but a target to try to wiggle around. The...
A quick synposis of topography would be in order.
I suspect that you are dealing with glacial till? if this is so then perm should not be to much of an issue. The soil type may dictate some of your systems parameters.
I prefer Gravity or Passive systems to those that require sumps/ and or...
In a rather untimely moment I wish to quote a Arthur Andersen consultant from the 1980's, "Information is not money, It's how you use the information." Politics within the corporate world are common place. My advise is to use this trial to see where you might fit best. Does your...

I am thrilled that you responded in that way. "...a repair plan without a guarantee is a repair that isn't worth buying.." While I try to view my clients projects as if they were for me, I do often put in those weasel words. I guess that comes from being from Texas where...
To the Tick,
I too suffered the indignity of parting ways with employment on an ethical issue. (My choice to leave though) The only real consolation aside from good sleep was that the company no longer exists.
To answer from my point of veiw, Honesty helps in every situation except...
Atlanta is a cool town. The Brevard Fault runs right through the city from the northeast to the southwest. The soils to the southeast (except for Stone Mountain) are mostly clayey sands. The soils to the northwest are mostly metamorphic sediments. Because you mentioned that there was some...

I would agree with EDUARDO at this point. Where you are in Mass is underlain with meta-sedimentary rocks that can vary widely in very short distances. Often you need to seek local advice. Sometimes the only local advice is experinced yet un-trained. It does seem reasonable that by...
Here in Florida they are used to define potential sinkhole areas. The present use is as a screening tool to define areas for SPT borings. As there are not always real surface indications on Subsidence sinkholes the GPR presents us with a clue as to where to expect a sink or other subsidence...
I agree with Focht3 here. There are a couple of flags that indicate missing information. First was that from the info given the subsidence is active. The mention of a paleosink is unusual if there is active movement of load bearing soils from under the foundation. Second is that there is mention...
frankly,
There is a little more information needed to answer this question. The cloride content of your water is going to be determined by the source of the water. This has a great deal to do with the type of rock or soil that it is in. Casing off an upper aquifer could reduce your chloride...
