Engineering document types, The rules of sequence for issues

The Engineering contracts in all their forms and types.

In an industry that’s constantly expecting conflict, the teams who are willing to go the extra mile to build trust stand out the most. When you’re building safe engineering plans, showing your work is a chance to verify your expertise. Performing pole loading analysis as part of your engineering shows a dedication to protecting pole owners’ assets. Utilities are responsible for maintaining a robust and reliable grid so the power stays on even when hurricanes hit and ice piles up. Every new attachment presents a risk to a utility’s two main priorities: safety and reliability. When you conduct pole loading analysis as part of the engineering design (and err on the conservative side with estimates), you build trust with pole owners by caring about their concerns. Using a utility’s catalog is ideal, but if one isn’t available you can still use default catalogs. Presenting engineering work with PLA estimates opens up the conversation, so you can receive feedback about the utility’s safety standards and tweak defaults for more accurate estimates. Building trust means doing things the right way. Katapult Pro includes default catalogs to help you run pole loading analysis in real-time as you call make ready, to help lower the barriers to excellent engineering.

Maybe guarantees should be offered up with value engineering proposals

How much faster could engineers find and maintain assets located on busy P&ID's if those same assets had a right-click menu to all related drawings and engineering documents? #assetnavigation #engineering

CODES VS STANDARDS In engineering, codes are mandatory regulations that specify minimum safety and performance requirements, while standards are guidelines that outline best practices and procedures. Codes ensure compliance and legal safety, whereas standards promote consistency and quality across practices.

So you're finally a professional engineer and are ready to seal engineering documents. How do you know when it's appropriate to stamp engineering work? Perhaps the common answer is when you deem it's "safe". But does this mean the design needs to be 100% perfect? You're an engineer...odds are that you have OCD just as bad as I do. In the state of Florida, an Engineer of Record is defined as "A Florida professional engineer who is in responsible charge for the preparation, signing, dating, sealing and issuing of any engineering document(s)..." Responsible Charge is defined as "that degree of control an engineer is required to maintain over engineering decisions..." The Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE) Issue 267 of their IRSE News magazines defines safety as "Freedom from unacceptable risk." Issue 309 discusses the meaning of SFAIRP, or "So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable." The author goes on to say that "...no-one can actually tell you what constitutes a SFAIRP position and what does not, it can only ever be determined retrospectively by a judge and jury as part of a legal proceeding." Furthermore, Issue 309 goes on to say that "Ensuring safety SFAIRP is a decision by a duty holder...Ask yourself, 'how did we decide that we had done enough?' If you have a robust answer to that question, then you're probably meeting your duty. The higher the risk, the more robust the answer needs to be." In summary, don't get stressed out over making the engineering designs perfect, because 100% risk-free does not exist. The Engineer of Record is the one who determines the acceptable level of risk. Ensure you have reasonable justification for your decisions, and then perhaps you're in a good position to seal engineering documents.

Good Reads Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook: A Manual of Quick, Accurate Solutions to Everyday Pipeline Engineering Problems E.W. McAllister Elsevier, 3 Aug 2015 - Technology & Engineering - 704 pages Now in its sixth edition, Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook has been and continues to be the standard resource for any professional in the pipeline industry. A practical and convenient reference, it provides quick solutions to the everyday pipeline problems that the pipeline engineer, contractor, or designer faces. Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook assembles hundreds of shortcuts for pipeline construction, design, and engineering. Workable "how-to" methods, handy formulas, correlations, and curves all come together in this one convenient volume.
