An introduction to Field Engineering

What is field engineering?

Well, it watching someone actually do work while you watch and take notes. Sad isn't it.

What is water watching?

It is watching someone actually do work on water mains while you watch and take notes. It is not quite as sad as it seems.

Going forward I will be providing actual field reports of what filed engineering is, how it is done (and done wrong), and why being an inspector rocks. Names may be changed to protect the guilty, maybe.
