Let me know if you have any additional questions
Thank you so much. I’ve been thinking watching since EP.1. I’m architect who is trying to understand engineering drawings& concepts

Thanks for watching! Glad I’m able to help. Yeah, this will be a comprehensive series detailing everything the civil engineer does for a residential site. Many of the same concepts apply for commercial.
Thank you for this video. Maybe you can cover HGL and head for storm outlets to drains/ditch in a future video. That's the part of storm design that is challenging to follow.

Storm design next ✅
After further review, I should create a separate video that dives into how the float settings are established, as well as determining the fill time/pump time. It’s very critical!
this is a great vid, and i'll be coming back to it if and when I need to design a lift station! needed to design a LPSS so familiar with some of what you are talking about.

Thanks Jacob! I think I definitely need to go into more detail about the float settings and operating volume between the Pump Off switch and Lead Pump On Switch
Thank you so much. Really appreciate this video. Keep Teaching us.

Will do! I will even create a separate video solely on setting up a master model with multiple stations in WaterCAD
Don't forget topography and land surveying
thank you very much as a Civil designer I have found there is not time or patience to have these detailed explanations and mentorship! even in my college this was not explained

@@griffinfurlong You have begun a series on land development and I eagerly anticipate the upcoming content, as I understand you'll be delving into all aspects, including those typically reserved for engineers. Personally, I'm particularly interested in learning about basin and sub-basin management, sanitary and stormwater pipe design, as well as road grading and the planning and grading of amenities or commercial projects following the subdivision series. Additionally, I'm curious about the essential knowledge and skills you believe civil designers and CAD technicians should possess to achieve optimal designs for engineers. Thank you for the time and effort creating this content I am aware as a PE you may have crazy schedules and you are using free time to teach strangers!
Thank you so much. Is it possible to get a copy of this spreadsheet to practice?
does this design apply to a suction pump station too? I have a job is requiring me to design a suction pump station and I have never done one before.

Yes, this design is based off of a submerged pump with a suction head. The impellor of the pump produces a force that creates suction and “lifts” the sewage

Would you be able to share the excel sheet? Please and thank you
