Owning Up

Salam,

All praise be to Allah SWT for inspiring me to write this piece of mind.

Owning up is the most difficult part when it comes to making mistakes. Once you tell yourself that you’re also to be blamed and that you’ll resolve this, that’s a very good start. Plus the necessary humbleness and not pointing fingers at her or anyone else. Once you realized that, thank Allah SWT for the guidance as He has guided you to realize the mistake and giving you the inspiration to correct the mistake and mustering the courage to own up and tell the boss, client or whoever else you need to about the mistake(s).

There’ll be other experience and other mistakes. You’ll approach them with the newfound knowledge and experience to handle another mistake or even better, to prevent the same or similar mistake from happening. Nothing happens without Allah SWT's Will.

You have grown wiser, with Allah SWT's Will. Insha Allah. 

Allah SWT knows best.

May we all be guided by Allah SWT, insha Allah. Amin.

Peace,

Wassalam,

FbI

The Professional Engineer - The Hexagon

                                   بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم S alam Syawal, My mistakes in this posting is of my own.  Allah SWT is Perfection. I only have the best of intentions. The opinion put forth here is personal.  All that are beneficial comes only from Allah SWT.  SubhanAllah Walhamdulillah.  For submitting persons defined under the latest amendment of the SBDA 1974, the submitting engineer shall be a Professional Engineer with Practicing Certificate (PE-PC). After the amendment 2015 of the REA came into effect.  The copy i'm referring to is the edition As of 10th March 2020 (which i believe is the most current - as far as the amendments under Act 133), where it says "qualified person" means a Professional Architect, Professional Engineer or building draughtman registered under any written law relating to the registration thereof i'm hopin...

Safety Factor Might Not Be Safe - Story of the Flow, Head and Running Amps

Safety Factor Might Not Be Safe Salam, I know all of you Mechys and Civils here have seen this chart. It tells you a bunch of stuff. One of the most important stuff would be how flow, Q increases with the lowering of the head, H, and vice versa along the pump curve. The power input to the pump, P2 increases with the increase in Q. If you oversize the H in the design, the actual H during operation will be lower than the H at the red dot there. Oversizing H is caused the fear that your pressure may be inadequate. So you put in a high safety factor (SF) to total pipe length (straight pipe length + equivalent length), static head difference and residual pressure. But in actual operation, the H is much lower, (one of the reasons being that the pipe is new) which causes the Q to increase (follow the pump curve line to the right). See what happens to the power curve in the chart below the pump curve. There is an increase in P2. In the post earlier, what happened during T&C was...
