As-Builts

Redline Storage and Management​

Storage Protocol : After field technicians and engineers complete their markups (redlines during L3 PTP), the redlines will be saved in the Bluebeam project folder labeled 'Completed Redlines'.

Requirements:

  • Consistent file naming and categorization
  • Tracking responsible personnel
  • Ensuring accurate version control

Quality Review and Question Resolution​

Engineer Review Process : Once redlines are complete, the assigned engineer will review all redlines on the assigned drawing and generate a list of questions (if needed).

Review Activities:

  • Systematic examination of each marked-up drawing
  • Cross-referencing field conditions with design specifications
  • Documentation of unclear or ambiguous markups

Question Resolution​

Questions will be reviewed with the individual that did the redlines in a meeting (either in-person or Teams meeting). Once all answers have been answered to both parties' satisfaction, as-builts will be started.

Exception: As-builts may be started before all questions are answered if, and only if, the engineering team lead and/or engineering manager approve.

Tracking As-Built Progress​

  • Track the completion percentage and assign responsibility for each as-built drawing set within the EDL.
  • List each control drawing set and SOO on separate lines in the EDL.
  • Label sets as As Built in progress to indicate ongoing work.
  • Do not create a dedicated as-built tab in the Instrument list.
  • Record all notes exclusively in BlueBeam and the EDL.

Bluebeam Process​

Communication Protocol:

  • Use the Reply function in the markups list for questions, rather than adding new markups to the redlines.

  • Use the Status column in the Markups List to track redlines that are completed or rejected.

  • It's better than a checkmark for identifying who is completing the redlines.

IO Counts​

Keep IO counts to date as drawings are updated including slot#, IO# and tags. IO Counts will be included in O&M on case-to-case basis.

Instrument List Tables​

Clean up instrument lists to print. Remove crossed out parts and highlighting at the end of the project. Fill in any TBDs or delete. Part of O&M.

AutoCAD Process​

Drawing Updates

  • Save the most recent drawing set in the Archive folder.
  • Apply all required updates to the drawings based on BlueBeam markups.
  • Update the title block with the As-Built date and remove the Rev box if applicable.
  • Do not modify the Revisions table.
  • For DDFD drawings, remove any content outside the print area in the model space.

Sequence of Operations (SOO)

  • Incorporate all changes from BlueBeam markups and remove any highlight annotations.

N Drive Folder Management​

File Creation

  • Export drawing sets and sequences of operations as PDFs.
  • Include As Built and the completion date in each filename: format as xxxx_As Built_date.pdf
  • Store these files in the As-Built PDFs subfolder within the engineering directory.

Upon Project Completion

  • When a drawing set or SOO is finalized, update the EDL status to As Built complete.
  • Once all as-builts for the project are finished, notify the engineering team lead or engineering manager.

Final Project Delivery

  • Compile drawings, sequences, instrument lists, product data, and IO counts (when required) into the O&M manual for the client.
