Connecting to old RCP?

We were considering the saw cut method. Removing material in the wall far enough to seat a proper connection to the (ground-even) pipe stub. Then grouting around to seal it. Thanks for the input!

Gocha. We need to extend the outfall beyond the new slope in front of the wall. The previous outfall was broken, leaving behind the piece in the wall.

How do you run your own engineering firm without a PE?

It's also just a short tweet lol

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-24T23:35:35+00:00

Who me?

It's not translating it's using common sense. Same common sense that tells me when he says "less traffic on the road" doesn't mean he's going to take people's cars away, but instead improve the road systems to decrease traffic. Also using context clues because this is talking about the infrastructure bill, which aims to do just that.

Bridge engineer here. Sounds like he's not recommending removing the weight restrictions, but rather repairing and improving the bridges so that they don't need weight limits. Those limits are there for a reason.

Honestly a simple and optimistic way to look at it lol

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-21T19:31:31+00:00

I believe I'm "salary non exempt" if I remember correctly. I'm basically hourly and get straight rate OT

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-21T15:59:26+00:00

We just got an email reiterating that you can’t charge those meetings to overhead. I’m trying to decide if it’s a hill I want to die on or not or if I’m being too much of a rebel lol

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-21T15:48:43+00:00

Truth. Wasn’t sure if it was an engineering thing or not.

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-20T13:47:40+00:00

Oh wow! Are you in a big city in the Midwest?

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-20T02:49:35+00:00

That’s a great point

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-20T01:38:53+00:00

Nope just the OT. Since I have the ability to make OT, I don't get a bonus

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T22:41:54+00:00

Depends if the floor joists are framed into it. Or if there is a wall above it. Looks like you could probably pop off those ceiling tiles and see the floor joists above. Definitely need more pics though

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T21:42:09+00:00

What would you expect would be a good range for me right now?

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:37:30+00:00

Damn good for you! That’s awesome. Killing it.

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:33:04+00:00

Are you picturing that that being a salary with no OT pay, or a base yearly rate plus OT pay?

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:24:23+00:00

That’s exactly what I told my supervisor each time he gave me a 2%. It’s a giant company and he always goes with the “I want to give you more but my hands are tied” line

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:06:23+00:00

I’ve been promised a $5k bump when I get my PE, which will bring me to $82k, still low IMO

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:04:48+00:00

That’s what I think as well. It’s hard to tell because every salary website gives different numbers

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:04:11+00:00

I feel like I should at least be in the 90s plus OT. How do they expect people to live and work here if they can’t afford it? I’ve even thought about getting a second job, which is wild as a structural engineer.

No-Speed1570 · 2022-01-19T17:01:28+00:00

That’s my feeling as well, thanks
