During the rough grading phase of construction, you discovered a 12-inch water pipe crossing the roadway at Station 18+50. The elevation on top of the pipe is 730.92 ft. You have communicated this information to the project engineer who has asked you to calculate and lay out an equal tangent vertical curve so that the top of pavement passes 36 in above the top of the water pipe with the following design elements: Vertical curve beginning at Station 16+50 (Vertical Curve #2) G1 = 8.75% G2 = -1.50%. Calculate the total length (in feet) of the equal tangent %3D %3D vertical curve #2.
