changing client wise.2 . D r a w i n g S c a l e s See all drawings from any
one client for the scale.3 . A l i g n m e n t S h e e t s Alignment sheet is
basic drawing for the construction contractoralignment sheet contain all
information including profile, plan,fittings information, Cathodic protection
requirements and locations,reference drawings list, depth of cover, terrain
details, designstandard, IP points with co-ordinates, deflection angle, hot
bendlocations etc4.Always it is recommended to route the pipe
avoiding roads ie betterto go along with road to minimize crossings and
utilize road as rightof way or maintenance road.5.From stress point of
view, route the pipeline in zigzag manner to avoid anchor blocks, less
depth of cover etc6.Always it is recommended to draw top of pipe
on alignment sheetduring as-built to avoid re-work becoz during
construction, groundprofile provided by surveyor get disturbed due to
grading andleveling and consequently top of pipe will get changed.
Constructioncontractor will note the top of pipe at each weld joint
duringconstruction. Based on the top of pipe elevation actual pipe profilecan
be drawn for future reference for the client. This is standardinternationally
accepted procedure.7.Plot Plan, Station Approach and other o n-plot
drawings proceduresare same as of piping.8.Designer should be
careful about branch connections. Interviewer may ask for the
position of branch connection though it is alwaysdecided by engineer. Please
note the following points as perstandard practicea.Liquid line branch
connection shall be always at 6 O’clock position so that during
cleaning, pigging, the debris can bedrained out from the pipe.b.Gas line
branch connection shall be always at the 12 O’clock position so that
unwanted gases can be vented out This is applicable for the
consumer/customer branch connections9.Surveyor provides the XREF
or individual survey sheets. From the survey drawings designer should
give importance to elevations,contours, a/g ground crossings, u/g ground
crossings, cablecrossings, third party crossings. Route can be changed
withinsurveyed corridor
