We are working on the modifications to an existing sanitary sewer wet well. The goal for our project is to construct a new access tube outside of the wet well. Our work will involve the construction of a new access tube next to the wet well. we will then need to cut an opening in the wet well...
Some of the inspectors have been requesting that we require contractors to use a pipe laser for sanitary sewer construction. I think about half of the contractors around here use a laser. The others just use a rotating head laser level or some of the old timers will still shoot the elevations...

We have to install some anodes for a waterline project near an electrical substation. We will have to work under some 62KV electric lines in order to get into the site. I am wondering what sort of separation horizontally and vertically we need to have to prevent a dangerous situation. I have...
Our City fathers have come up with the idea of flooding the streets to help eleviate basement flooding. The area of concern has combined storm and sanitary sewers, so when the sewer becomes overloaded it floods into the adjacent homes.
I am sure that I am going to be asked to study the...
