Thank you so much, it is very useful. I want to learn more about grading specialy grading of Parking lot

[@griffinfurlong]

We will get there! 🙏🏻

[@hughlee7107]

yeah...turning on notifications for this channel. Good Job Man.

[@griffinfurlong]

@@hughlee7107 means a lot, thank you!

These videos are gold buddy. I am fresh out of college (USF) starting at a firm this week specializing in land development in Hillsborough County ironically and I dont have much experience in the office side of how this all chronologically takes place. I already feel so ahead after watching some of your videos and dont feel like I'm blindly walking into this now. keep it up man!

[@griffinfurlong]

Awesome man! Glad they help. More to come

[@zeke012]

I’ll second what he said^ I’m fresh out of college too and these videos have been so helpful to understanding how to do my job!

[@griffinfurlong]

@@zeke012 if there are any specific topics you want me to cover let me know! Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

[@zeke012]

@@griffinfurlong I feel like from what you’ve discussed in Ep 1 and 2 that you’ll be touching on exactly what I need with parcels and stuff in episode 3! So I’ve got my notifications on for once eagerly waiting for that👍 Other topics I struggle with: Feature lines for grading vs alignments and corridors. I’m familiar with the latter but don’t understand feature lines. Do you have any civil 3D learning resources you recommend outside of your channel? Something for people who know AutoCAD well but haven’t learned all the different features that civil 3D offer.

[@griffinfurlong]

@@zeke012 check out some of the ones I’ve made on feature lines and if you need more, I highly suggest Jeff Bartels-guys is a mastermind

I wish I had seen this series at the beginning of my environmental consultant career. I deal with all these important elements during our due diligence and design phases for my projects (I've in the soild waste industry for 2 years). Hope to see more content!

[@griffinfurlong]

@@jakelambert4808 there’s so much to these large scale projects! Way more than a 30 min vid! Trying to pack in as much as I can. Appreciate you tuning in

Thank you so much. I am excited to learn more about this topic. Keep educating us please ❤

[@griffinfurlong]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Glad it was helpful! let me know if you have any other questions

I appreciate for sharing the information. thanks!

Thank you!

The geotech report can also contain recommended design parameters for retaining walls, bearing capacity value range and cut angle ranges the excavated land can tolerate. Just a few points from my experience.

[@griffinfurlong]

Perfect

[@zagvot]

Wow great video definitely following this series, In the past years, I didn’t take the importance of the Geotechnical Report seriously. (since in our country it is not very detailed for small projects) but wow it is nice to have a new knowledge Thanks BTW how many holes should be in an area?

[@griffinfurlong]

@@zagvot where I work, municipalities require different spacing. We typically need 1 bore every 200-300 LF of proposed road and 1-3 in each pond depending on the size of the pond

[@noahhiggins4735]

Great overview!

[@griffinfurlong]

Thank you! Let me know if you have questions

[@Puffinswagg]

Thanks for the video! I’m graduating in may and starting in land development so these videos are so helpful. Definitely want to learn more about grading in civil 3D and steps for drainage analysis

[@griffinfurlong]

Thanks for watching, hope it helped. What’s funny is everyone wants to learn grading in civil 3D but no one wants to learn how to grade by hand. I think learning the basics is where to start! The next videos will be drainage analysis which I think you will find helpful

[@v.m.5175]

thanks!

[@griffinfurlong]

No problem!

[@SirKombabomba]

🤢These videos are awesome. Is it at possible to obtain that CAD File for Site Design? Thanx
