I will be setting up shop in Central CA this summer, and my mother-in-law was kind enough to get me a few Nolo books on starting a business in California. My impression of the LLC rules is that because Engineers are licensed professional, we cannot form LLC's.
As a one man shop, I don't see a...
Thanks for the help and faxes gtrainor. I have about 3 weeks to get this project wrapped up and into the county for approval (it is CDBG funded). So I will try to contact ADA soon. I was under the impression that the domes needed to be perpendicular to the traveled way.

I would think that any kind of energy disipator made of metal would deteriate very quickly. Any finish on it would be washed off by water moving 30ft per second.
I know there used to be a engergy disipator shown in the Green book of standard plans for Public works. It was intended for use...
