I would like to preface this with the fact that I appreciate any true professional.
That being said, I am working on a project with a design firm which is not familiar with their own project and refuses to acknowledge any errors.:rant::rant::rant:
And so... here is what is going on...
I'm working on a new pump booster station which has a Heat Pump Unit located on the exterior. The approved engineered design (our local building dept is inept) does not have a disconnect within sight or a service receptacle within 25'. They also have a 1/6 hp exhaust fan with no disconnect other than the breaker, which is not within sight.
I contacted the engineers regarding the above items and was told everything was approved and the design was correct. I contacted them a 2nd time with the same response.
I installed the above items anyways as it will not be easy to provide them later.
I don't even really care about additional $ for the extras, what irks me was the condescending attitude from a 30 year old engineer.
My intention is to sit around for the inspector and tell him the engineers tried to slip some things past the building department but since I figured he would catch them anyways (which he wouldn't) I would point them out. :angel:
Is this too juvenile? Like I said, I am installing the items either way. I just would like too see the engineer eat crow after completely ignoring my input. Twice.
Am I missing something? Code references? Comments? Thanks!
