I would need to see the relevant curves but nothing to stick my life to just something for a quick calculations. I am in Australia...

    rear lot drainage (swales anyone?)

    I honestly can not see how you could go without swales. Your local council will argue that you have increased the discharge. Your second problem is legal point of discharge. You may need a small piped system to drain the water to the street. The neighbour will have the right to go the the...

    Where have the drafting classes gone?

    I don't know how companies are going in the US but in Australia its hard to even find school graduates that even want to be drafties. They have cut the classes back here so hard simply because know body wants to do it any more. Diplomacy Has Failed Time For Some Action

    Design of Manhole >6m depth

    All the above comment are quiet good and important. But do not forget about ground water at those depths. You dont want it to float. Hows your skin friction to the sounding soils ? Diplomacy Has Failed Time For Some Action

    Hydrostactic presure to retaining walls

    Morning my structural minded colleges I have what will hopefully be an easy question for you. Residential blocks with 1.5% fall across them with 1.0m retaining wall between them. In a major storm the water runs down through every ones blocks and out into a field. Not a problem yards are graded...

    Survey 101 For The Design Office

    It is true the clients wallet is always a matter of concern. A clinet wants the cheapest job yet all the quality. But im afraid that the standard of survey that is being produced by most surveyors is pure garbage. In Queensland (Australia) the survey must be collected and reduced by a...

If your main road is under main road control your access could be granted but the council could hit your client with major roundabout or traffic light intersection. And as...

    Overtime pay

    I am lucky enough to get over time paided. But i must admitt it is not a common thing. Hell i still fill out a manual time sheet and get paid by cheaque. You may have rights but think doing a little over time may get you a little latitude if you need extra time for lunch or come in late one...

    Minimum street grades

    0.4% is the flattest a kerb machine can lay to. so you dont want your road flatter then 0.4% for a long distanse for your contractors are hand forming it. Plus if you go much flatter then 0.4% you get even flatter grades around your intersection kerb gradings. I personnly do not design below...

    max street slopes

    I agree 12% usually is not what you want to design above. How ever going to 15% can be done but should only be used as a last resort method. However having a heavy grade on the road can save you having to need a "slow point" in the road. Because people are not going to fly down the...
