    DogHouse Manhole - Deflection Angle

    I have a proposed sanitary sewer line that I need to design with a new 48" doghouse manhole. Local code stipulates that the new line must connect at exactly 90 degrees. My connection will be more than 90 degrees (see attached). Do you guys think this is too strict, especially if we have a...

    New Job / Career Advice

    Thank you for all the advice. I’ve completed three projects, a one hundred lot subdivision design (road, drainage, water and sewer design) and a large retail store with grading and utilities, and a large retirement home (road and utilities). Still not enough for them, and they’ve had these...

    Venting about people that suck

    The calculations were general stormwater calcs that were approved by the county. I simply double checked the calcs and add the table to the adjusted drawings. Highly doubt you can copyright Q=CIA or pipe capacity calcs. 😂 this is grading site plan not architectural or structural drawings. 90...

    Venting about people that suck

    I run a small civil business. I was hired by a homeowner to make adjustments to the original grading plans because the homeowner made alterations to the locations of some BMP's. The home was nearly complete before a dispute between the homeowner and contractor happened. The contractor left the...

The property was filled prior to my purchase (about 2' above floodplain) but the county won't recognize...

    Residential Tap of 24" of PCCP-Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe

    I am building a new single family home. There is a 24" PCCP watermain that is in front of the house, but the local water authority's permit person told me that I can't tap into the 24" PCCP line because they don't allow home taps to mains that large. There are several homes along the block...

    New Residential Home Need a PE to Draw Up Plans

    I am planning on building a new home on an empty lot in PG County MD. If I were needing electrical plans to submit to the county, does it have to be an licensed Engineer, PE, like civil engineers? Its only a single family home and not a large office or something.

    Stamping Old Stamped Plans

    So I'm a PE, with a background in water/wastewater engineering. I was asked by a friend to stamp his old grading plan he had made for his home that he was going to build. The approved plans are over ten years old and the PE who stamped it is retired and no longer has a license. The county is...

    Truss Stability

    JAE, can you show me an example of these steel strapping to be used?

    Truss Stability

    Also, I'm not an expert in structural design, but if I used a large enough member to scab the top and bottom chords, would my main design concern be to make sure the section modulus is large enough to compensate for the loss of area from the hole?

    Truss Stability

    The holes are 1.25" in diameter. He didn't think it through when he made the holes and just installed the cables thinking it was not a big deal. I was upset that he didn't just build a platform on top of the bottom chords, but now its too late.
