1.0 GENERAL

1.1. Introduction

This Policy outlines the minimum standards and requirements for design and Record
Drawing submissions for engineering work(s).

Where a standard drawing exists, it shall be sufficient to refer to the appropriate drawing
by reference number and date of issue. Where a standard drawing does not exist, or is
unsuitable for a particular case, detail drawings shall be prepared to accurately portray
the various elements of the installation.

Where no standard is defined in this Policy for the preparation of a drawing to portray a
particular service, structure, or other item, instructions and requirements may be
obtained by discussion with District staff.

1.2. General Requirements

Drawings shall clearly show existing and proposed locations of all utilities using offsets
from property lines or boundaries of rights-of-way.

All drawings shall be signed and sealed be a Professional Engineer registered in the
Province of British Columbia.

Elevations shall be referred to geodetic datum. Horizontal coordinates shall be referenced

to UTM coordinate system NAD83.

3.0 DRAWING STANDARDS (DIGITAL)

3.1. General Requirements

The owner will be required to submit to the District a complete set of electronic drawings
of the Subdivision or Development in AutoCAD DWG format upon completion of the
proposed works.

All drawing objects colour and linetype properties shall be set to ‘bylayer’.

All drawings must be purged of all unnecessary information prior to submission to the
District.

3.2. Drawing Conventions

3.2.1. Layer names and Colour

The District uses the following convention for naming AutoCAD layers:

<category>-<object>-<type>

Where the available ‘categories’ are defined in Table 3.2.1a; and ‘objects’ could
be lines, mains, manholes, valves, walls, fences, and text; and ‘type’ describes
the type of object.

For example, concrete could be used to describe a ‘type’ of sidewalk as in ROAD-

WALK-CONCRETE or ROAD-WALK-TEXT would describe text associated with the
sidewalk.
