    Design storm for detention facility

    Thanks for the info, folks. I've seen a lot of discussion on the boards for volume weighting through my search, but haven't heard much mention of it otherwise. In reading your responses, LincolnPE, and the New Jersey stormwater BMP manual, it looks like the difference is primarily related to the...

    Design storm for detention facility

    We're working for a City to evaluate options for regional detention to mitigate overtopping of an existing detention facility. We have a dynamic rainfall-runoff model that we're using to route runoff determined using the TR-55 method. This is a coupled 1D/2D routing model, so any discharge not...

    Believe I'm underpaid - do I have to seal drawings?

    Thank you all for your responses. I can't see how to multi-quote, but I want to address a few things. 1. Our company is pretty big and most of the people stamping work are not principals. I can see how that is more common in smaller companies, though. 2. I didn't go digging for salaries...

I don't think a company of thousands of employee owners will be closed because...

    Not enough work to do in consulting

    Are you all saying I should choose to go, or I will soon be asked to go? I started this job 3 months ago, was very busy at first, and things have slowed down. I've been told by my colleagues that's there projects down the line that just haven't kicked off for various reasons.

    Not enough work to do in consulting

    I've read a couple threads on the site about what to do when you don't have enough work. I'm in a slightly different situation from many of the posters in those threads, in that I work for a consulting company and need to fill out a time sheet. The past couple weeks I've had a lot of time that...
