shop drawings for pipe elevations?

[entp]

Hey everyone,

Is it industry standard to require the contractor to submit shop drawings for invert or top of pipe elevations on water pipe projects?

I know shop drawings for pipe material, joints, valves, and vaults are standard, but I can't remember whether it's standard to ask for pipe elevations, also.

Thanks!

No, but it's standard practice to have the contractor produce 'as-builts' that show the original design, and any changes to the installation.

Ah ha, that makes perfect sense. Thanks, atook!
