I was recently presented with an opportunity and looking for some advice from people that have maybe dealt with a similar situation.
I currently work for an oil and gas company as an engineer, specifically in pipeline integrity. A consulting company has offered me a position to create a...
I'm probably echoing the thoughts on countless other threads, but i'm gonna ask the question nonetheless. I am a civil engineer, 9 years experience, with my PE. I do consulting work for a medium size company, mainly commercial developments.
Issue i'm having is i don't find the work...
I am civil engineer (7 years exp.) with a PE. I work for a design firm that does mainly retail developments (storm sewer, grading, etc.). I'm getting into management more and find that i do have a talent for it to a degree. I have writing skills, can conduct meetings, and other skills beyond...
I had started another thread about doing assessments on aging pavement but began to think a bit broader about infrastructure in general. As we all know a great deal of existing infrastructure such as roads, sewer, watermain, etc. will need replacing in the next few years. Does anyone have any...
I'm a PE and LEED AP trying to think of business ideas. I don't really have much of an interest in having employees, but would like to do something that i can do solo.
One idea i had was after doing some pavement condition assessments for commercial clients. I believe some large retailers or...
Does anyone have any good advice or experience with the effect of frost depth on porous asphalt. I'm designing a porous asphalt parking lot and everything I read is conflicting. Some literature says freezing / heaving of soils is not really an issue, others say a certain percentage of the...
I'm a civil engineer, just obtained my PE license. I've started thinking a bit more about my career goals, and feel that joining a professional organization could be a great benefit. I do have interest in starting my own business and figure that this would be a good way to start networking to...
Can anybody point me to a resource that would be useful to design a ground water tank? I have never designed one of these before (well maybe in college) so I'm starting from scratch.
Thanks
I am looking to find a way to stabilize a soft subgrade for a large retail store parking lot. The site soil consists of saturated silty clay. Proof rolling indicates rut depths of about 4" in most places. What would be an appropriate fix for this? I was thinking several options.

I'm a civil engineer getting into project management. One of the issues our department is having is how to effectively track the progress of our jobs. We want to keep an accurate up to date record of items which need to be completed within a given project. This would serve as a task list of...
I'm working on a job where we are redeveloping an existing gas station. Part of the scope is to replace all the asphalt on the job. This was due partly to the asphalt's condition, but mainly because I had to regrade the pavement to accomodate changes. I would like to avoid replacing the...
I recently obtained my PE and am trying to investigate what opportunities exist for me once I get licensed. I have been working as a civil engineering consultant for the last 5 years and frankly, I am getting bored. Sitting behind a desk is not what I intended by getting a civil degree...
