i need a mechanical engineer and actatek

i have some hoops i have to jump though for the city again .. if any one is or knows a good one or company could you let me know thanks

 

what the mech eng for? my brother inlaw is P.Eng mechanical tell me whats the gig I can ask him

 

i need someone to come and tell the city that the hoist is ok in the floor , i know it's safe but the city doen't care what i say , min for the hoist to be used is 4" concrete and i have atleast 6 as i put 7" lags in and it;s hard stuff ,,,

 

I would get ahold of the Garage Stratagies 780.433.5721 or Auto-Quip 403-279-8213. They may be able to point you in a better direction.

There is another company out of Edmonton who fix over hear cranes and such who also certify floor hoists. I will try and find their number.

What they heck does the city have to do with your hoist, that should be a insurance situation.

 

they want a letter saying the floor is good to hold the hoist up ... before i can get a business licence again witch i think is BS

 

They only way your going to get that is to either have a engineer blindly sign off on it, or take a core sample and have it tested or jack hammer out the area around where the hoist is going to be mounted and re-pour.

Why on earth the city is involved in matters like this. My question to them is they approved the original building permit so they should know the the concrete rating.

 

They are pulling this crap because revenues are down and this is a way to raise some easy coin.

When building permits and related incomes are up, stuff like this means nothing. This is a way for the pencil pushers to keep busy and still fly under the radar and keep their jobs.

All these "approvals" and fire ratings are already on record when the building was constructed, especially if this in an industrial park, not real hard to look up by the building inspectors.

And then they wonder why the small businesses go elsewhere and get out of the big cities.

Had to rant, sorry!

This is the guy I was recommended to talk to by one of the fella's at the city of Airdrie, since I have to get my garage pad engineered due to the size. I talk to him a couple times via e-mail, but I haven't had any work done yet. But its worth a call/e-mail for you.

 

thanks guys

 

your in airdrie? just put it in. when they come around make sure the doors locked. if they cant see it, how did they know it happened.

on the other hand for what they want you could move a quarter mile up the up the hiway and be outa city limits

you need your business license to pay taxes not to work.

though it is easyer to get money outa people if you do
