I’m working on a project where the engineers want me to penetrate the masonry containment wall of a diesel with a fill line. Now if this was a dirt berm type containment wall I know we can’t do that …could compromise the integrity in an earthquake. BUT I don’t know if this holds true with a masonry wall? The engineers (young, REAL young) say “No Problem” but I have that gut feeling.
Can anybody give me some direction on this?
