I truly wish things could be kept simple...I'm a civil-site and we are directed by our O&E underwriters to cover all the bases...we have to include verbose sections like Contract-type, Scope, Fee, Schedule, Additional/Exclusionary Services, Payment, Termination, Standard/Conventions/Code...

I need to buy a total station with all the accessories. Does anyone on this site recommend any particular dealer/shop in USA? Please include name/city/state...thanks. H.

Since your reach is only 200 feet, I would recommend you keep the grading as simple as possible, and collect at one end with a double catchbasin. The extra basin may, or may not, be needed, but in terms of redundancy, it's the prudent thing to do. BTW...careful on the ADA grading, it's...

Usually, the planning and zoning requirements for stall dimensions can't be reduced--but in some areas, they will allow a width reduction specifically for compact cars, provided you label each stall as such.

To the original poster: The AASHTO green book will is a recognized standard for horizontal and vertical geometrics. I would suggest you take a look at it before putting in any unneccessary safety measures. Any professional truck driver worth his salt will should have no problem coping with...

12-percent max is fine to use...it's the same as the fire code's max grade for access.

Whatever you choose to install, check it against MUTCD for dimensions, location and completeness. A stop bar is usually accompanied by a stop sign.

Assuming that it is okay for you to discharge the mixture into the drainage system, and that you have desirable soils (easy digging), and plenty of money, I recommend that you run a parallel line and bore into the manhole. I think this would be the most expensive of the options. The pros would...

You've written 'other liquid mix'? This can only be interpreted as one thing: you will be discharging an effluent. You can't just make an undocumented connection. You should check with your local water board (or State Offices) for design requirements and permitting needs. In all liklihood...

Means is a good start. USACE has civil costing information. For asphalt and iron/steel, use quotes by local suppliers.

The idea is no doubt radical, but I think it a worthwhile pursuit. I would recommend that you pilot study the idea to determine actual heating gain--which seems to be your biggest challenge. My initial thought is that you will need to determine the best trench section...perhaps bundling the...

If the project has a geotechnical report, look for their recommendations. Usually, they recommend a slope for certain lenght (i.e. 3% slope for min. 5-ft). If you don't have a geo report, then I would recommend that you use the published 2% min for the first 5 ft, then break the slope to...

I'd consider a waterstop ('dog bone') cast in the connection and environment-friendly sealant.

There are subcontractors that deal with bypassing, solely. They will supply the piping, fittings and emergency pumps. I've recommend Godwynn if they're in your area.

2 researchers at Villanova put together a study entitled "Tractor-trailer reverse movement path". They created a template for the rearing manuever.

Bimr, do you know anything about the paper or the author?

As you can read, knowing whether or not the wetlands you will be impacting fall within USACE jurisdiction is important. If you are, then apply for a Nationwide Permit listed within the list below... http://www.nao.usace.army.mil/technical%20services/Regulatory%20branch/NWP2007/nationwides.asp...

The engineer-of-record is the one whom will be called upon..

Say goodbye to 9-to-5, and hello to 5-to-9. It’s a different job, entirely. Balancing the priorities fulcrum, particularly the schedule-budget vs. quality one. Find a mentor. Don't let 'em see you sweat. Keywords: Contact, Budget, Ethics, Change Order, Exclusionary Services, Additional...
