Thanks for the input. The monument predates the tank and is consistent with other, newer momuments whose accuracy have been verified. There's been a little shift from the 1929 Datum (1978 adjustment) -- but not seven feet! The surveyor is deceased, the engineering company that designed and...
I'm looking at a drawing of a tank foundation. The drawing says "0'-0" elevation equals 32' geodetic elevation". I go out to the field. Not far from the tank is a surveyers monument. It has an elevation of 23.94'. The base of the tank sure isn't 8 feet above the monument. It's only a few...
Hi. We bring in ethylene through a 2" sch 160 pipeline, at pressures up to 1400 psig. The pipeline is A53 carbon steel, with a minimum temperature rating of -20F.
In the event of a sudden depressurization, the temperature could drop as low as -40F. So we want to replace the pipeline with...

Many...
As part of my job I need to estimate piping materials and installation costs. However, before my boss will approve the cost of $137 for a 2007 Means book, he wants to know how it compares with other estimation books. I was forced to admit that I don't know any other estimation data sources...
