Hi Tracey - Final approved drawings are provided to Drafting Records in
our Business Information department.  They are scanned (200 dpi),
checked and verified, next is bulkloading and indexing into our EDMS
(Filenet).  Original drawings are stored offsite in a secure facility.  

Retention is for the life of our pipeline plus one year, basically a
permanent record.  Hope this helps.

Hi Tracey,

The original drawings are usually kept on a permanent basis.  We have
recently used a service bureau to film and scan all drawings to CD
format, which is than made available to the engineering departments over
a shared network in the company.  Cost per drawing is about $3.00 - 4.00
giving you both a CD and film backup. 

Good Luck. - BILL.

Good Day Listserv; 

 

Would anyone we willing to share some information regarding Engineering
Drawings?

 

One of the Engineers in our organization would like to become more up to
date with how drawings are retained, such as media, size, etc.  Best
Practices so-to-speak on Engineering Drawings.

 

Does anyone know of a good place to start to get this information?  Any
assistance would be helpful!
