Moma, I’m licensed in NY and agree that state ed. is a bit picky about what counts as engineering experience. We have some young engineers in our other offices who have run into the same problem as you.
I’d use specifics and avoid generalities. The details need to be about what you...
I've only seen them used once and it was at a site where the soil had a lot of fines. It did a good job removing silt, but not very effective with the clay. The water passing through was not crystal clear ... it was turbid, but still better than what was pumped in. Bag was very heavy but stayed...
Thanks for re-posting. It's not stated why the new design is necessary, but assuming it's regulatory-driven, if the permitting authorities are not on-board with it - ie doesn't meet their standards - our discussion here is moot. It could work for stormwater. I'd be more concerned about using it...
Increase the hydraulic gradient by increasing H and/or decreasing the sample length L. Just a side note with regard to landfill design, organic soils are not typically desirable for use as liner material.
Pedantic, kontiki. I have no doubt there are control "issues" amongst other "issues." After tygerdawg's boss-from-hell comment though, this guy's not sounding so bad now in comparison!
morgwreck, you're such an over-achiever ... you make me look bad! [wink]
My brother-in-law was in a similar scenario though he's a geologist. His company shipped him all over the country for years and it got old. When he started his family, he wanted to grow his skills while limiting travel. He...
Thanks everyone. Points well taken. Annoyances are everywhere, and I'm certainly not perfect. I let this guy get under my skin and the gut feeling, in the thick of things, is wanting to lash out at him. Your comments are much appreciated. I'm just going to keep it professional and try to stay on...
Sounds good TenPenny, pretty non-confrontational.
Agreed ctopher, I've been logging this stuff for the past year or so. I think it's getting to that time to just lower the boom.
Hi folks, it's like a Dilbert cartoon. Just asking out of frustration here, hoping you might have some advice on how to manage this. It's like I'm constantly butting heads with this guy. I'm a senior engineer in one section and he's a non-engineer manager in another section.
To give you an...
