Calling out Socal!

[preddy08]

So you call yourself a civil engineer? Want to help me out on a quick project? It will be my first project on my own and it is for a local riding area. So it has to be done off the clock.

What do you know about drainage areas?

How do you determin culver size for a drainage area that is greater than 2500 acres. The core of engineers provided me with a drainage study for another culvert, but not this one.

I'm a program manager.  My degree was in marketing but I have a strong background in civil.  I over see legal matters and budgets for large scale projects.  But I do have 3 civil engineers working on my team...they are the brains behind what I say.  I'll talk to you in the morning.  My guys can take care of that.

Ah cool man, thanks!

Ok, I'm in the office.  What do you have?  You will need to do a drainage study, there isn't a way around that.  Too many variables to guess it.

Thats what I thought, but the core did the drainage study for one of the culverts and left the second one up to us. There is litterly ZERO budget for this project. I am doing it on a donation basis.

OUCH!  Do you have any kind of topo?  We can also get the flood maps from flood control.

[socalrappy700]

Also do you know what zone you are in for fema?

This is going to get done as cheaply as possible, so I will be using the GIS topos of the area. It wont be exact, but close enough for a gravle road, parking lot, a shitter, and a couple of shelters.

Do you have a rough address?  I can look up the fema map for the area.  Is there any ponds or low land area?

[Peelz]

I'll do it for ya...in one day with my nothing but a knife and a fork

This is for Harlen County Reservoir/Lake, in Nebraska.

I'll start with that, let me know when you have any topo.

[preddy08]

Don't have any topos. I will be using the state provided GIS information for the contours and ariel photos to locate everything eles for the project.

Its weird that the NRCS provided a drainage study for the small 9.8 acre location, than to the East (about .5 miles) there is a culvert that they want us to figure. Its 3051.2 acres.

There is no real cross streets to give an address, but it is the very south east side of Harlan County Lake.

dude, they need to give you more then that to work with, or its down to a guessing game.
