Same issue and not impressed with the 20+ emails on forums I’ve never watched or have any interest in.

My experience is similar to yours SteelPE. Design projects already commissioned are proceeding however other projects that were about to start have been shelved by clients. We have had pretty much no new work commissioned since mid March.

I predominantly work in civil consulting although can strongly relate to most of the posts above! Clients seem to not value the input of a good engineer anymore.

It sounds like you need to hire an experienced design engineer.

Does exporting via the Layer States manager not do what you want? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml9InwZnppA is a video of this.

That is correct; however in my experience in NSW a lot of approval bodies (local government, private certifiers) will request that a chartered structural engineer (CPEng) certify that the design has been completed in accordance with relevant standards. The approval authority is generally not...

Yes. Fire away with the queries! Watercom offer pretty good free email/phone support and advice also as an aside.

Letter to residents the day prior to the evacuation and which provides some info: https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/9421b9a85b24867636d66880e876f11d

Are you recording the data via survey accurate GPS or another means?

Do CPEng and RPEQ applications not require face to face panel interviews anymore?

I intentionally did not name them given that the media could potentially see them as another person to hassle for comment :) Seven News 31/12/18 There is a copy of the video here; around 10 to 15 seconds in: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsDAo-qFoBs/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

In one of the media videos of the engineers leaving Opal Tower there was a very well respected concrete structural engineering professor amongst the group and who is presumably helping with the investigation.

A couple of screenshots taken from a Seven News video from two days ago. No context on the location. The image has been taken with a drone. Who are Rinkovitch working for? https://www.instagram.com/p/BaKu-MqH7S8/ October 2017 I don't work in high rise although 19 weeks ahead of...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6544623/Developer-builder-Sydneys-Opal-Tower-debacle-begin-fiery-blame-game.html I'm not sure how reliable The Daily Mail is although they have a new photo from apparently inside an apartment.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll give it a few months to see how it goes although are also dusting off the resume.

My engineering employer is currently being acquired by a larger firm approximately five times the size and this will be the first time I have been affected by a merger/acquisition. Has anyone been through this before and have any advice to offer or pitfalls to avoid etc?

Have a look into porous paving perhaps. In all reality though 16' x 10' won't matter much whether it is impervious or pervious in terms of storm water runoff.
