    "Notching" TOP of RCP SD Pipe

    We've essentially done what cvg has suggested in several cases where there has been a conflict and not a feasible or economical alternative. The structure could be cast in place, or brick/block and mortar. You don't mention the type of material of sanitary sewer pipe. In order to minimize...

    Is having degree certificate mounted on the wall tacky?

    You earned it. Display it. Perhaps not as common in industry, but it is common in the consulting world to display a framed diploma(s) on the wall. Often the diploma is placed next to a PE license certificate(s) - required by law to be displayed (at least in the states I am licensed in)...

    100 service connections for 2" pvc pipe

    alternatives to RGRCP in street

    cvg, We've generally used aluminum or aluminized steel on larger culverts and arches. I haven't seen any cement mortar lined corrugated steel pipes, although we repaired some unlined corrugated steel pipes by pouring new concrete inverts (taking the necessary precautions to protect stream...

    does the past affect the future?

    Brizz, Probably depends on the Board and on the nature of your offense. I had two misdemeanors. I spelled them out in an attachment to my application along with the steps I had taken to change my life to insure these situations would not occur again. No problem that I am aware of with the...

    What should EITs be doing?

    Grubbyky, There has been lots of good advice posted previously so I will try not to rehash too much. It sounds like you may need to change employers at some point to gain experience relevant to obtaining a PE license, but your experience can be valuable nonetheless. Generally the licensing...

    Baffle Design

    This link to North Carolina DENR's design manual has design information on baffles. Go to Chapter 6. It's a 25+ MB pdf file so will take a little while to download. Baffles are on page 365 of the file. http://www.dlr.enr.state.nc.us/pages/manualsandvideos.html In general this manual...

    WALLER METHOD

    notsocivil, I'm not familiar with either method, but Pagan may refer to a consulting engineer from New Jersey, USA with the last name of Pagan who writes articles for a magazine called Civil Engineering News. He used to write a lot about storm drainage issues. Google the magazine and you can...

    Line Weight in Paper Space

    I don't have Autocad installed on the machine I'm working on so this is going by memory... Somewhere there is a box that you can check or uncheck that is called something like "use paperspace lineweights" or "display paperspace lineweights" or something to that effect - it's either on the...

    Doing Business in different States

    You need to check with the licensing board and perhaps an attorney in each state. In North Carolina the company also has to be licensed through the NC Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors. Another application must be submitted to the Secretary of State. See...

    Changing Engineering Fields

    Nate, If you are dissatisfied now, most likely you will be next year, 5 years from now, etc. The demand for civil engineers should remain steady and/or increase in the future as baby boomers age and retire. I agree with HgTX regarding the disrepair of infrastructure. There will be...

    Water service from large mains

    I also agree with all that cvg wrote. However, additional considerations would be based on the type of "busy suburban street" and the locations of the 6 and 16 w.r.t each other and to other utilities within the street, as well as who maintains the street (e.g., same city/entity as distribution...

    Drained Swamp Causing Infestation

    rmw - thanks for the laughs that were much needed after a long day. Good thing no one was around to hear me howling about the potential armadillo/walking catfish skirmish. The snake's rights lawyers may go after your dog. My grandfather used to say the copperheads smell like rotten cabbage...
