Engineering Plans Design Guidelines and QC
Engineering Plans Design Guidelines and QC
(OP)
I am an engineer in Wisconsin and am trying to prepare a standards manual for my firm that I will provide to my civil and CADD staff to assist them with plan preparation relating to storm sewer, water, sanitary, erosion control, site design, etc... This will be fairly general as each municipality has their own standards, but I am trying to provide a manual to the younger engineers to guide them with design. I am prepared to recreate the wheel, but if anyone has a document, book, etc. that would save me a lot of time, I would appreciate it.
Along the same lines, I am preparing a QC manual to provide to the engineers during plan review. Same request, if anyone has something that is already written, it would save me a lot of time.
I have to believe there are documents out there that have been generated for these uses, so if anyone can point me in that direction, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

As far as a QC Manual, our company has a procedure mapped out. It is long and complex and (as far as I can ascertain) no one follows it, due to time and budget constraints. We do QC, we do effective QC, but we don't follow the "standard". In a nutshell, just state that someone of equal or more experience must QC each persons work, you'll be fine.
As to namdac's suggestion, I'm not sure what a cell library is, but its context indicates CADD Details? DOT standards are a good starting point, but their design criteria is often more stringent than most counties, municipalities and even other state agency's. So if most of your work is on that level, you'll need to gear down from DOT requirements to stay competitive.
