Well, every few floors or so we must add in an offset to the pipe to slow down the flow. I think it is every 30 meter got 1 offset. Usually for high rise buildings the sanitary stack at the bottom is Cast Iron Pipe 200mm diameter. Usually it is 200mm UPVC pipe (white in color).

Withstanding the impact is one thing, in one project they even want to wrap it with acoustic wool to reduce noise in the pipe.

@ nicvoo,

What you say is soo true, there is a million pipes, cables, services running around the ceiling or floor that you are bound to knock into something.Mechanical services itself already have cold water pipes, sanitary pipes, fire-fighting pipes & cables, ACMV ducting, chilled water pipes (with insulation), BAS trunking etc.

For lift, one has to ensure all the lift manufacturers can masuk their lift into the shaft, otherwise the client will screw you coz you favor 1 supplier

i've never heard about the impact crackin the pipes causing shit to flow out but tats jus me i dont deal much on mech stuff

usually noise is the main concern tats y cast iron pipes r used. if upvc well jus say u'll be listening to waterfall everytime there is a flush


for lifts high rise probs r usually due to wind which causes the structure of the building to bend a little if you sized the lift shaft jus nice then well u r dead.

another common prob for high rise lifts r the traveling time

nothing much can be shared frm senior?

or having mega projects these period?

u ask then if we know we answer

Zelan???

Sometimes, you cannot just look at the salary. You must also consider the company's expectation of you. Will it exceed your commitments? Ask yourself questions such as:

1. Are you willing to work on weekends?
2. Are you willing to work until 12.30 am on average and forget about your time with your family?
3. Are you willing to handle a job by yourself without much support from your colleagues?
4. Are you willing to do designs, drafting and even delivering drawings to people?
5. Are you willing to attend meetings where you need to answer questions beyond your area of expertise and some things which are beyond your
position to answer?


If you can have 'yes' for all these questions, i don't think you will have problems getting employed with a super high salary. Trust me, I have done all the above. Thus, i'm telling you, be careful when you were offered high salary. It may cost you more (not financially) that what you earn. That involves your happiness, relationship with your family, your health and your personality.

Wat is the standard salary for consultant engineer??
Any senior can share??

And is it any future in consulting field?? Maximum can reach how much? and need to till wat stage in order to get that amount of salary??

I'm kind of worry here.. Worry enter the wrong field...

No matter how, you will need to start from somewhere. So get yourself few years working experience in consultancy, obtain IR qualification, then open your own consultancy firm. Thus, your maximum earn may rich the sky...

I thnk CGPA must be high enuf .

that's mean in the end one need to open own consultancy firm?? If makan gaji, how much is the maximum salary can reach?? let's say work till age of 40, rougly

seems like faded future...

wakaka, salary does matter...

seniors dun hesitate to consultant this aspect too,

thanks...

what's the pay for a freshie?

zzz if u start reading from the 1st post salary for freshie was already discussed as salary at 40 when one of us reach tat age we'll tell u

for M&E, when near reach +/- age 40, range RM4k-6k wit Ir & as PM with some shares. if C&S with site experience as RE b4, with Ir. & as PM around RM7-8k. all still depends on ur experience & qualifications. tis was back to around 1.5 years ago. not sure now. but as PM, the pressure has to withstand with such salary, from my experience observing my ex-bosses, u know i know. nowadays, open a consulting firm is very competitive unless you can secure big projects or some network with some big turnkey &/or main-con companies. if the main-con is ur biggest source of income touch wood lost projects due to political reasons, then the consultant may also can suffer.

at 40 how much u earn is very subjective for an M&E consultant

1st hav pe o not
2nd wats your past xp resi n shops only?or high rise hospitals tunnels lrt/mrt
3rd u working in an mnc consultant or a small time one
4th ppl u know
5th your influence in decision making

other engineers r also the same

i've seen 50+ year olds still slogging n getting screwed by younger engineers

or 30+ ones who hav a PE who r part of the company's share holder

everythings possible its not a 9-5 day job where wat u do is typical everyday

So, do u guys see any future in this field?? (thinking of joining this field)

And, in order to be a good, i mean really good consultant, what practices i must equip??

nicvoo: How old r u??

Thanks for all advice and opinion

there r 8 paages of replies u can judge wat u need to know from there instead of letting us tell u yes o no

i'm obviously not 40

to tell u now wat u need to equip yourself is pointless. once u join the industry u'll know wat is good or bad. as for freshies joining well i can only say when u join about 80% of the stuff u learn in uni, form1-5 is never used.

50 then?

Honestly I think the best way to find out what a job is like is to do an internship. That way both the company and the candidate get to learn about each other.

50 sounds good hahaha
