Pre-City #1
Site and Drainage Engineering. AutoDesk & DCA Civil Engineering Software. Leitz Sokkia SDR2. 1989-1992.
First "Solo" Project
My first job out of school was for a 3-person site engineering company, Dieter Engineering Services. My first day on the job I asked Barry, "who does our Surveying?" "We do."
Broad responsibility, long hours, good equipment and software (386s, SVGA monitors, AutoCAD and DCA Software), the smell of ammonia wafting from the blueprint room. Ink pens drying out on halfway through an overnight plot. Fedex Tubes driven to the airport a couple of times a week.
My first big job, 30 acres, 1 designer (me). full site plans, grading & drainage. dozens of store footprint changes. all the changes and their ripples were performed manually, all the way through.
How fast could I do it today with new software?
