I'm having problems with the CE on a job I'm doing. I might be the wrong one, but I want to know what you think before I cause conflict. Here are the problems below:
1. He wants to dimension the location of equipment on site plan, meaning run length of the conduits, the location of the transformer pad, the exact size of the transformer, and then put down the exact materials used for back fill on the drawing. (it's in the spec as well)
(question: this usually determined in the field? I put down the approximate location. The utility will leave markers, usually)
2. He says that the site contractor won't know how to dig and put in the primary conduits, so he/she needs to know fill, the exact conduit run, and a detail of the splicing under the pad. He says because the site contractor will not be a licensed EC.
3. The client wants to delete the man hole, and splice underneath the pad, but the CE doesn't want to b/c of time. I thought it would save time because you won't be pouring a manhole or ordering a precast one.
Please help, and tell me if I'm crazy!!!!! He's made my life hell since I've started this project.
