    Air changes for heat removal - air compressor room

    That is a fairly decent size room, but Very small rooms are a problem because the air will just recirculate and cause the compressor to overheat. I had a project where the owner had stuffed 400hp of rotary screw units in a room about the size of a 40 foot connex box. We ended up designing a...

    EOR laid off, Asked to go hourly as a vendor

    Yes, and they would probably have to fix that in one instance. They have some other PEs on staff that could fix that.

    EOR laid off, Asked to go hourly as a vendor

    Thank you for the advice I have reached out to a local attorney. Yes I think there is risk they are not aware of. A lot of these projects had losses due to scope gaps or issues not defined in lump sum contracts with clients. All of these projects are design-build and I would be in a position...

    EOR laid off, Asked to go hourly as a vendor

    I was a VP over the mechanical project development and engineering department which my company decided to dissolve and lay off most of the engineering staff due to financial difficulties with some of the projects. They asked me to stay on and bill the company hourly. I am unsure of the entire...
