    Occupancy Classification for College Biology Lab

    In CA, we classify commercial Biology labs as B occupancy, and the CA Fire Marshal's office has a task group reviewing the L classification, which has been primarily used for university labs. The meeting minutes are available online. NFPA 45 is pretty clear, in Chapter 4,Table 9.1.1(a), about...

    Women in Engineering II

    No one was upset? Maybe not that you noticed. How about the time I was at a railroad engineers meeting, and the keynote speaker opened with "Welcome, gentlemen...". When I approached him afterwards, he brushed me off with it was no big deal. His perception was I had no right or reason to be...

    Women in Engineering II

    JohnRBaker: "...there were no female engineers and only a couple of female draftsmen (I know that's not PC, but...). However the company did hire some females who did play a role in helping us sell equipment and I don't mean as salesmen (there I go again)." John-in the time it took you to type...

    Floor Drains and Storm Systems

    You could also be violating local stormwater discharge regulations; the local municipality responsible for the eventual discharge mostly likely has regs prohibiting the discharge of anything other than rain water (with a few exceptions such as landscape irrigation runoff and AC condensate) into...

    Car Wrap equipment

    If the site is actually printing, and uses ink, they need to have Safety Data Sheets for the inks, which should provide enough info to classify the inks as to hazard (flammable, combustible, etc.). You could also ask if the site has an air emissions permit-here in California, printing processes...

    Soil contamination

    Yes, you really need a Phase I, probably leading to a Phase 2. If you are getting a loan for the purchase, it is unlikely the lender will waive the investigation. Also, closure requirements have changed since 1998 (At least here in CA), and what might have been considered allowable to stay in...

    MS Environmental Enginering

    Well, again, it depends on what you want to do. I think, if you went into construction/project management, a thesis MS is not so important. Does your school have a career center? Can they offer you any guidance? Do any of your profs work outside the university? If so, they also might have...

    MS Environmental Enginering

    Is your goal to receive an MEng or an MS? Generally the program requirements for thesis are different for the differing degrees. How many classes would you need to substitute for the thesis? Are you going into academia or looking for a job in industry? What do those fields like to see?

    FOIA requests yields calculations

    I do many file reviews in California, and when I ask for a file on a property, I do see the calculations that have been submitted. Most building departments will not let me make a copy of a stamped drawing, but none of them have said I cannot have a copy of stamped calcs. Maybe hardly anyone...

    Adding 15ft of soil above swamp?

    Wow! Has anyone investigated what permits you need to fill a swamp? That would be my first concern, before the technicalities of how to do it.

    Business owners with work in multiple states

    It may also depend on whether or not you physically go to the state-say, to inspect the work, or for a meeting.

    Studded tires on asphalt pavements and health effects

    Chains are alive and well in the passes in the Sierras. If you don't have 4-wheel drive, there are times chains are mandatory.

    sensor

    Looks like the temp sensor for my oven at home-the connector plugs into the oven wall, and the tip jabs into meat.

    removing yourself as the EOR

    SLTA-does your work qualify in your state to allow you to place a mechanic's lien on the house? Might want to do that, if possible, as leverage to get paid for your additional work.

    General questions from new PE in exempt Industry.

    My experience with a Civil PE was similar to zdas4. In fact, my company would not put PE on my business card. Several times, I was deposed as a witness in company lawsuits, and whenever opposing counsel would try and have me proffer an engineering opinion, our counsel would object on the...

    Underground Water Leaks

    I'll add my bit of experience with the coat hanger method: place each bent piece into a coke bottle-it lets them swivel freely. Used to do this when I was with a railroad way back when-all the project engineers did it.

    Small firm file server

    We are a 5-person office and have been using a Netgear NAS for about 6 years. No adverse issues with small CAD files being worked on directly on the NAS. Also have a router set up so that people not in the office can VPN in and work as if they are here. Works better than the built-in ReadyNAS...

    Dual Degree Value

    Finish it now. One of the reasons for the 4+1 is so you can keep your tuition assistance-many programs won't pay for grad work, so by holding off on being awarded the bachelor's until year 5, you are still eligible for undergrad assistance. It gets harder to go back for the Master's once you...

    Construction lawyer recommendations

    Don't know those, but you could also try Goetz Fitzpatrick-they have 4 offices in NYC area.

    GIS Programs-low cost

    Thank you for the list. I was hoping someone has had some experience with one of the programs, as the list is quite long-by the time I try a test on each one that seems a likely candidate, I'm going to be over budget on hours...Unless I misunderstood my boss and I was supposed to think this was...
