1 INTRODUCTION
The following standards and practices are intended as a minimum and should be adhered
to in the preparation of all drawings.
They are intended to ensure the preparation of drawings which can be read with ease and
clarity, and to provide maximum flexibility in the choice of reproduction media.
All drawing sizes, title blocks and numbering convention must be strictly adhered to.
All writing on drawings shall only be in the English language.

None
3 DRAUGHTING PROCEDURES
3.1 STANDARDS
Drawings shall be produced in accordance with National Standard SABS 0111
“Engineering Drawings” Parts 1, 2 and 3.
All drawings shall be prepared on CADD, in accordance the ATD CADD Manual and the
ATD EDMS Manual.
3.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.2.1 A drawing must convey all the information for which it is required. It shall be borne in
mind when preparing drawings of any description that time should not be wasted on
superfluous information. For general guidance the following principles should be applied:
• Avoid ‘Artistry’. Eliminate unnecessary elaboration that adds nothing to the
information required by the user of the drawing.
• Do not use repetitive details or dimensions.
• Eliminate excessive views.
• If it is easier to describe, do not draw it.
• For hidden views use dotted lines only for clarification.
• Eliminate unnecessary detail on layout drawings.
• Where a single line will convey the necessary information, do not draw more.
• Make sure all typical items are really typical.
3.2.2 All revisions shall be entered in the allocated area above the title block.
3.2.3 All drawings shall quote cross-references to other relevant drawings used in the
preparation of the drawing in question. These are to be entered in the area allocated
above the title block.
3.2.4 Where arrangement and detail drawings have to be read in conjunction with one
another, both sets of drawings shall be cross-referenced.
ISSUE 2
COPYRIGHT
3.2.5 General arrangement and plan drawings issued 'FOR CONSTRUCTION" shall include
a Key Plan located at the top right hand corner of the drawing. The area to which the
drawing refers must be indicated on the Key Plan and be fully shaded and a reference
description stating “this drg” shall be arrowed to the shaded area.
3.2.6 General notes are to be located in the open space below the Key Plan and are to refer to
the required general specifications. General notes need only be detailed once and all
succeeding drawings shall refer to this drawing.
3.2.7 The Equipment Tag Numbering System shall be provided by the Mechanical Project
Engineer. All equipment item numbers must be fully noted on all general arrangement and
detail drawings.
3.2.8 All site plans must have true and plant north (where necessary) indicated by means
of a standard symbol and positioned in the top left hand corner of the drawing sheet with
the North direction upwards or to the left. However, should an extension to an existing
plant require drawings, the direction of the north arrow will conform to that which is shown
on existing drawings.
3.2.9 Plant north is to be designated only when the whole project is at an angle to true
north so that Plant co-ordinates are simplified. When plant north is to be used, the angle
of plant north to true north must be stated on the Site Plan and all succeeding plans shall
refer only to Plant North.
3.2.10 All arrangement and detail plans must have true or plant north indicated by means
of a standard symbol positioned in the top left hand corner of the drawing sheet,
with the North direction upwards or to the left, unless it is an existing plan. Should the
drawing be drafted on system lines offset from true or plant north, the north indication
must specify the angular offset.
3.2.11 As all co-ordinates originate from the Site Plan, a local datum point (0,0) must be
established between the project or plant co-ordinates and the National grid system this
must be noted on the Site Plan. Where reference is made to the National Grid System Y
co-ordinates, the datum in terms of the line of longitude must be stated on the Site Plan.
The national Grid system X co-ordinate datum is universal and is the line of latitude of the
equator i.e. 0°. All co-ordinates must be written above the line to which they refer. Where
confusion exists, a 4mm 60° triangle shall be used as an arrow to indicate to which line
the co-ordinate refers.
3.2.12 All elevation and sectional drawings of surface equipment and structures shall
indicate levels by means of elevations relative to datum and shall be fully dimensioned
and not be abbreviated. For underground equipment all levels will be given as elevations
below 0.000 datum, being Top of Bank. The datum elevation above mean sea level must
be referred to only on relevant drawings. Elevations must be written directly above the
extended level line where possible and without any arrow or pointers unless it is not clear
to which line the elevation refers. The elevation shall have the appropriate prefix/suffix,
e.g. TOC (top of concrete), FOF (Face of Flange), CL (Centreline), etc. Elevations given
to equipment supplied by other disciplines are purely for reference.
3.2.13 All plans shall be fully dimensioned relevant to the particular function of the drawing.

ISSUE 2
COPYRIGHT
3.2.14 Elevation and sectional drawings shall be fully dimensioned to show the relative levels.
On each drawing the levels must be dimensioned back to a stated elevation. Lateral
dimensions are normally not shown, unless the dimension cannot be shown on the
relevant plan.
3.2.15 Where possible, matchlines shall not be placed on centrelines of columns or equipment
or on edges of walls, etc, but shall be 1 metre from column centre line or face of wall.
3.2.16 All orthographic views shall conform to the standard third angle projection.
3.2.17 Auxiliary views will be drawn where necessary for inclined faces to show their true
shape. Isometric views and details will be used for piping, instruments and where
necessary to make clear a particular item or area. Perspective drawings will only be
prepared for conceptual layouts and buildings as requested by the ATD Project Leader.
3.2.18 All views, sections and details must have the scale indicated under their title, if they
differ from the scale indicated in the main title block.
PREFERRED SCALES
General Arrangements 1:100 1:50 1:25
Detail Drawings 1:25 1:20 1:10 1:5
Other scales may be used with the approval of the Chief Designer.
If a drawing has no scale, i.e. PFD’s, P&I D’s or SCHEMATICS, the abbreviation “NTS”
shall be written in the appropriate area within the title block.
3.2.19 On arrangement and detail drawings, all existing equipment shall be shown in a fine
double chain dotted line. All future equipment shall be shown in a fine dotted line.
3.2.20 All columns whether steelwork or concrete, as a general practice shall be lettered
from south to north, i.e. A,B,C etc, and numbered from west to east. i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc. The
above shall be overruled if an existing building is to be extended. Then the column
lettering and numbering will follow the existing adopted system, or, where a new building
has an envisaged extension, the column lettering and numbering will be such that the
extension continues the system, i.e. letters and numbers will increase towards the
extension.
4 DRAWING NUMBERING SYSTEM

This section describes the procedures used for the numbering and registration of project
drawings. The term ‘drawing’ includes drawings produced by the project team, outside
engineering contractors and suppliers.
4.1 GENERAL

6 CHECKING OF DRAWINGS
6.1 GENERAL
Checking of drawings is divided into three parts.
6.1.1 Draughtsman or Detailer’s check.
It is most important to ensure that information given on the original drawing is correct to
the draughtsman’s own satisfaction.
It is the draughtsman’s responsibility to supply the Chief Designer with drawings to be

checked and all relevant information used to produce these drawings. The Chief Designer
will pass these on to the relevant checker.
6.1.2 Checker’s check
All checking must be completed on prints marked “Check Print”.
It is the responsibility of the checker to confirm that all information used in checking is
most up to date.
The colour coding system for checking shall be as follows:
Yellow : Correct Red : additions
Green : Subtractions Blue : checker’s notes
If there are a large number of additions on a drawing a plastic overlay shall be produced.
Tippex shall not be used on check prints as this obliterates the original drawing and any
reference is duly lost.
The checker shall ensure that location of items by means of dimensions and co-ordinates
is arithmetically correct. He must be satisfied that the drawing has been produced in
accordance with this manual and makes reference to the relevant general specifications
and standards.
Electronic checking is done in accordance with the ATD CADD Manual (ATD_P_7).
6.1.3 Specialist Engineers Check
This refers to approval of structural and mechanical design by the relevant Specialist
Engineer. It is important that this is carried out prior to the design being issued to the Chief
Designer.
6.2 CHECKING PROCEDURE

The Chief Designer will allocate a checker and hand him the complete data pack that has
been prepared and marked “Check Print”, or drawings that have been reviewed through
the IDR process, or issued drawings requiring revisions.

ISSUE 2
COPYRIGHT
When the checking has been completed, the check print shall be returned to the Chief
Designer who shall assess the checker’s comments. At this stage any equipment that
requires details shall be marked “HOLD” and be listed above the title block.
The check print shall then be passed to the draughtsman for back drafting. When all back
drafting is complete, the revised drawing and check print shall be passed back to the
checker for back-checking.
When the checker is satisfied that the drawing is in a state of completion he shall issue a
print to the Chief Designer and retain all check prints until the drawing has been approved.
The Chief Designer will now re-assess the drawing and if satisfied will present it to the
Project Mechanical Engineer for perusal.
The Project Mechanical Engineer shall now decide if the drawing needs to go for IDR or
for approval.

drawing shall be issued under the succeeding revision, which shall be titled “As Built”.
7 APPROVAL, ISSUE, MODIFICATION AND ARCHIVING OF DRAWINGS

7.1 GENERAL
The site plan, mechanical general arrangement and P&ID’s define the project as a whole
for engineering detail design. Before detailed design can be initiated, it is necessary to
freeze the design within the limits of the P&ID’s and Conceptual Arrangement to avoid
costly changes which may also seriously delay the project programme. Therefore the
above drawings shall be approved by discipline engineers prior to the commencement of
detail design. Upon approval, one print of each drawing shall be compiled into a MASTER
set and marked accordingly. This set shall be retained in the Design Office and shall form
the basis of any design work.
7.2 INTERDISCIPLINARY DRAWING REVIEW

The Project Mechanical Engineer shall arrange for an interdisciplinary drawing review
(IDR) room which shall be the control point for all drawings requiring review. Only checked
drawings shall be issued for IDR.
7.2.1 Drawings requiring review shall be identified by the Project Mechanical Engineer who
will notify the persons required to comment. This notification shall indicate the originator
and the date by which all comments must be received.
7.2.2 Drawings requiring review shall be placed by the Chief Designer in the IDR room with
a copy of the notification slip attached to it.
7.2.3 Master copies of all PFD’s and P&ID’s shall be housed in the IDR room for reference.
Any other reference drawings shall be obtained from the Chief Designer.
7.2.4 Review drawings shall be studied and commented on by the named persons. To relate
user’s comments to a signature, each person will use a colour not previously used. The
colour red will be used by the Project Mechanical Engineer (adjudicator).

ISSUE 2
COPYRIGHT
7.2.5 The Project Mechanical Engineer will collect the updated review drawing from the
IDR room after the deadline set for comments. He will review comments made and refer
any difference of opinions to the ATD Project Leader for a ruling.
7.2.6 Subsequent to finalising all comments made, the Project Mechanical Engineer shall
issue the IDR print to the Chief Designer for updating of the original. The Chief Designer
will discuss comments with the checker and revision of the drawing shall be done as per
checking procedure.
7.2.7 All IDR prints shall be retained in the project filing system until the installation has been
completed and commissioned.
7.2.8 The Chief Designer shall ensure that all comments made on the IDR print have been
incorporated in the updated original prior to starting the approval process of the drawing.
7.3 DRAWING APPROVAL

The Chief Designer is responsible for the approval of drawings (which have been
produced in his section) by Specialist Engineers and the Project Mechanical Engineer
prior to approval by the ATD Project Leader and Client.
Subsequent to checking and reviewing of drawings by the IDR process, the Chief
Designer shall decide which drawings require approval by Specialist Engineers.
7.3.1 Drawings requiring Specialist Engineers’ approval

• The Chief Designer shall forward prints of identified drawings to the Specialist
Engineer together with a transmittal.
• When the Specialist Engineer is satisfied that the drawing complies with his
specifications he shall enter his name, date and professional registration number
and sign in the block provided and return the print to the Chief Designer.
• The Chief Designer will collect the signatures from the checker and Project
Mechanical Engineer before signing the drawing himself.
• The Chief Designer will issue the print to the designer for electronic insertion of
names and dates on the original drawing.
• The print containing hand signatures shall be returned to the Chief Designer for safe
keeping.
7.3.2 Drawings not requiring Specialist Engineers’ approval

• The Chief Designer shall call for a print of the drawing and will collect the signatures
from the checker and project mechanical engineer before signing the drawing
himself.
NB. This print shall be of a size which allows for easy record keeping, (i.e. A3).
• The Chief Designer will issue the print to the designer for electronic insertion of
names and dates on the original drawing. This hand signed copy shall be returned
to the Chief Designer for record purposes.

ISSUE 2
COPYRIGHT
7.3.3 Further Drawing Approval
In addition to the above procedure each Project will have its own drawing approval
requirements and it is the Project Mechanical Engineers responsibility to implement this.
7.3.4 Approved Drawing

• Once final approval has been obtained the drawing must carry the revision “Drawing
issued for construction” in the revision detail column. The alpha prefix in the revision
block falls away and the revision number shall be numerical.
7.4 ARCHIVING OF APPROVED DRAWINGS

An electronic copy of each drawing containing electronic signatures shall be kept in
Project Wise.
7.5 ISSUING OF DRAWINGS

The issuing of drawings can be divided, according to their purpose, into two groups
• Preliminary issue
• Issued for Construction
The Chief Designer is responsible for the issuing of drawings and maintaining a record
thereof.
Drawings “Issued for Construction" must have been through the approval process and the
revision number shall be numerical.
7.5.1 Preliminary Issue
The following types of issues are included in this section:

• issue “for information only”
• issue “for tender purposes only”
• issue “for review”
• issue “for checking”
• issue “for revision”
• issue “for approval”
The Chief Designer shall prepare the correct number of prints as per instructions from the
Project Mechanical Engineer for any of the above issue purposes. Care should be taken
to ensure prints are suitably marked and the transmittal indicates the purpose of the
drawing issue as well.
Preliminary drawings do not need to be approved.

ISSUE 2
COPYRIGHT
7.5.2 Final issue
The following types of issues are included in this section:

• issue “for construction”
• issue “for your records”
The number of copies issued to site will be determined by the ATD Project Leader. Again,
prints need to be suitably marked and the transmittal needs to indicate the purpose of the
drawing issue as well.
7.5.3 Drawing Transmittals
A drawing transmittal sheet must accompany all drawings being issued. Electronic copies
of drawings may be issued via e-mail.
This is the responsibility of the relevant Chief Designer and shall be completed by himself
or a designated person.
A record of all drawing issues (i.e. transmittal sheets and e-mail records) needs to be kept
by the Chief Designer.
The Chief designer shall ensure that signed transmittal sheets are returned for filing
and/or confirm that drawings have been received and are in the possession of the
recipient.
7.6 REVISION ON PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS

All preliminary drawings, i.e. drawings in the process of being designed, shall be given an
Alpha prefix in the revision block and marked “Preliminary”.
Whenever the drawing is updated from comment prints or on the relevant engineer’s
requests, the revision number of the drawing must be updated and, if necessary, the
drawing re-issued for comments.
7.7 REVISION TO ISSUED DRAWINGS

Revisions to issued drawings are the responsibility of the Chief Designer and he will
decide whether specialist engineer’s approval is required.

7.8 SITE CHANGES

During the course of the project, it may be necessary for site personnel to make changes
to the original design. In these circumstances the Site Engineer will organise a marked-up
copy of the relevant drawing, showing all the changes, signed and dated, and this drawing
will be returned to the design office.
Any such modifications to the original drawing will be issued under the next revision
number and will state “AS BUILT” in the revision description.
7.9 APPROVAL OF VENDOR DRAWINGS

Vendors are required to submit two paper copies for comments, approval and final design
purposes. These drawings are routed via the Project Mechanical Engineer to the Chief
Designer and back to the Vendor.
All drawings received must be accompanied by a Vendor drawing transmittal and the
returned print by an ATD drawing transmittal.
The second copy with all relevant marking shall be filed by the Chief Designer until the
certified disk copy is received.
7.10 PROPRIETARY EQUIPMENT
