How to Grade Roads and Lots for Construction Plans
Переглядів 2,3 тис.День тому
In this video you will learn how to grade a road, culdesac, and lot in a residential land development project. Throughout the video, there will be pictures and videos to help draw the connection between real life and construction plans. Below are the list of constraints: What is the minimum low point the road can be? - In our example: Minimum EOP = DHW25 0.5’; Crown = DHW25 0.74’ What is the mi...

I guess searching from outside USA wouldn't work? Tried it but couldn't get to permit site. Would be nice to get hold of a drainage permit though. Newbe in water resources engineering here. Really helpful videos.
This was awesome! Thank you 🎉
@@DiasFabLane thank you!
I'm a Water Resources Engineering 😂
This book seems handy. Where can I get it ? Thanks.
Hopefully, not for too much longer. 🎉
Where can i get that book?
It looks like you have to sign up for the EET's $1200 course, ha.
Nice thank you
Great videos brother ❤
@@shamelsinha8528 thank you!
Oh boy. The multiple hurricanes here in central east coast FL have revealed severe grading issues causing excessive flooding on my residential property which is on the 18th fairway of a private golf course. I’m talking 3 feet of water. Right up to the house for the very first time since it was built in 2004. At issue is an undeveloped parcel next to mine belonging to the Golf Club, with it’s collapsed 35 year old underground 14” galvanized spiral drain pipe connecting my yard’s drain basin and the 300 feet of 14” poly spiral pipe I installed two years ago because the old pipe had collapsed like a sinkhole from leaking water underground into the sandy soil. The flood just before Hurricane Milton last week was so sudden and determined that it got into three neighbor’s homes, and 4” from my own doors. I may have to cap off the drain basin at ground level to keep the thousands of gallons of rainwater going down the basin, into my 14” underground drain pipe, and then dead-heading into the Golf Club’s property with it’s collapsed drain that is 6’ beyond my property line and about 30 feet from my house. A fully mature tree was unroofed there last week because the soil is like quicksand.
@@UncleDuncan5092 Research the County code for new developments. You’d be surprised what storm events the roads and lots are designed to!
Great advice and guidance from a 36 year old fabricator going back to school. In your professional opinion, do you feel that 8 years as a structural welder/fabricator will assist in my path to Civil Engineering proffesion?
This is great! Good job!
@@blakej5974 thanks for watching. Still need to cover pump run time and fill 🙏🏻
Thank you for the tutorial! I already have the 25Y-24H storm in the simulation manager, but I am trying to also run a 1Y-24H storm. Do you know what information to enter in the simulation manager to run this storm? Thanks!
@@anandsharma6822 you can create a copy of the storm you have and all you have to do is adjust the rainfall amount to the corresponding amount based on your local jurisdiction or you can use NOAA rainfalls. Let me know if you have questions about this!
@@griffinfurlong Got it, thanks so much!
Great professional training. I am a grader and excavator looking to get State Licenses.
Excellent Video! Great explanations throughout this entire video.
@@SomethingsIwonderabout thank you! We definitely tackled the basics. Next step is working through more complex situations and grading an entire commercial project!
❤❤❤ my friend thank you so much for this!! Never stop being awesome!!! We love your channel.
@@Smartsometimes thank you that means a lot 🙏🏻 let me know what type of content you would like to see
Civil engineering really makes you see cities a different way 😅
it's true....I look down so figgn much. ADA ramp warning pads are so different around the world 😅
Im a new subscriber, good videos. Brings new knowledge
@@raychesterlapura411 welcome to the channel! Are you a student or professional in the industry?
@@griffinfurlong im a civil engineer in the philippines assigned to a land development project.
Your microphone is soo huge, yet i hear nothing at all..
Turn the volume up
@@griffinfurlong it was already at max.. the other vid had no problem with sound..
please sound treat your space, thanks for good content edit: the close mic sounds bueno
@@williamdavies1977 thanks, I overlooked the mic at the beginning
I’m 18 fresh out of highschool with an office job starting college next year but I hear that line so often it hurts 😂
I got the same advice from my manager this summer during my internship. Looking around me while walking really helped me visualize what was going on in my drawings
Maybe an infill commercial lot for an office building or something in the future
I'll trade you, I drive a forklift all day
People are always sad and complaining, not knowing what they have is loads better than a lot many out there, i guess that's why it was told to always practise gratitude coz we fail at it again and again.
Never ever. I join the moment the clock turns to the exact start time and not a second earlier, ESPECIALLY if it’s a meeting that I set up.

@@joseesquivel3749 same
Just let go of this kind of shit
Why must it be
Invaluable content for all civil engineers alike and explained so well! Attention to warping btw changes of grade is chef kiss. Looking forward to more hand grading content.
Explained as much as I could in 40 minutes! There's so much more to say...And this was considered an "easy" example. Next we can size the drainage pipes!
Haha I look at stuff when im out on walks and drives even more since becoming an engineer. My gf finds it funny that I’ll focus on the design more than the actual place sometimes
Thank you!!!
The laughing 😂
16 tons and what do you get another day older and deeper in debt.
Thanks for this amazing video. Looking forward for more teaching video!!
@@declanjin420 thanks for watching!
tks for your vids i can learn lesson
@@aylatoan4766 thank you!
I’m a superintendent for a site development company in Orlando and have Learned a lot from your videos. Please keep doing what you’re doing.
@@kodyburtram2215 thanks for watching! I think it would be fun to do a more challenging site as well
Please ...keep...it... coming
@@sb2261 well definitely do a different scenario, like when we have super steep conditions or difficult boundary conditions
God bless you for sharing your knowledge! from the philippines
@@christiangodino8420 thanks for watching! More to come
I learned a lot from you
Hi griffin, love your videos man, I'm civil engineer in training, who seeks for an entrt level job, i made alot of interviews but still didn't get none, i want your advice about learning path and some courses i want to take to improve my skilss and knowledge is it possible to have 15 minutes meeting with you, really appreciate
@@abdulrahmanashraf1153 thanks for tuning in! Send me an email anytime
@griffinfurlong hi Griffin, 👋 ☺️ I have sent you a message
On your website, I don't have your email address
Still glad i have room to grow at my current role
Great to see a fellow Civil Engineer's youtube channel! It's rare.Keep it up..
thank you! cheers
Hey Griffin, can you explained one full storm and sewer design for subdivisions like that. Step by step full design.
I definitely can! Im working on a reallllly good grading video right now. I will add storm sewer to the list!
I feel you!
