    Study Notes

    Drawing Conventions and Standards

    • Scale of Drawings: All drawings except sketch plans should be drawn to scale. The scale should be indicated in the title block.
    • Multiple Sheets: Multiple sheets with the same number should be distinguished by a sequential sheet number.
    • Cancelled Drawings: When a drawing cancels a previous one a note should be recorded on the drawing and the cancelled drawing should be endorsed accordingly.
    • Plans: Plans should be drawn to scales specified in the Indian Railways Code for Engineering Department (1993 Edition).
    • Details Drawing Scale: Details that are too small for complete dimensioning in the main representation should be shown in a separate detail view or section at a larger scale.
    • Foundation Details: Foundation drawings should include the nature of the soil as determined from trial pits, bore log details, and chainages.
    • Inspection Pits and Other Features: Drawings should indicate the clear length of all inspection pits, capacity of weigh-bridges, diameter of turntables, capacity of high-level tanks, diameter and depth of wells, and dimensions of drains and sewers.
    • Track Details: Drawings should indicate length and capacity of sidings, position of fouling marks and buffer stops, distance center-to-center of tracks, distance of facing points from the station center, turnout serial numbers, crossing angles, gathering line inclination, location of signals, signal cabins, platforms, telegraph posts, and crossings of power and telecom lines.
    • Road Crossings: Drawings should indicate road crossings, their class, location, road over bridges, and underbridges.
    • Structure Drawings (Buildings): Drawings for structures, including buildings, should be prepared in three parts: site plan, architectural drawing, and structural drawing.
    • Site Plan: The site plan can be separate or part of an existing general plan. New quarters site plans should include type drawing numbers, north line and direction of prevailing wind.
    • Architectural Drawing: The architectural drawing should include the ground plan, sections showing the building's form and dimensions, front and side elevations, floor plans, and layout details of bathrooms, kitchens, roof drainage, and finishes. It should indicate the number of floors for which the building is designed.
    • Structural Drawing: The structural drawing should include the foundation plan, details of RC members, and bar bending schedules.
    • Bridge Drawings: Bridge drawings should include the site plan, plans and sections of the river, cross sections showing the highest flood level, and details of abutments and piers. Notes should be made of flood section area, mean depths, catchment area, velocity obtained by calculation and experiments, allowable waterway, and increase in velocity due to afflux.
    • Water Supply System Drawings: These drawings should show complete dimensions and details of the water supply, pumping, storage, and distribution systems, including reduced levels of salient points.
    • Color & Line Conventions: Existing work to remain should be in full lines; work to be dismantled should be in thin dotted lines; new work should be in full red lines.

    Abbreviations and Symbols

    • Abbreviations: Capital letters should be used for abbreviations to ensure legibility and maintain clarity during reproduction.
    • Hyphenated Words: Abbreviations for hyphenated words should include the hyphen.
    • Multiple Meanings: Avoid using symbols that represent more than one term or quantity. If unavoidable, use subscripts for clarification.

    Preparation of Plans

    • Plans, like index plans, should be prepared in accordance with the Indian Railways Code for the Engineering Department (1993).
    • These plans should include information from the Chief Engineer's office or other departments.
    • Drawings
      • All drawings should be initiated at the Divisional level.
      • Original tracings of approved drawings are retained at the Divisional office and copies are sent to the Chief Engineer's office.
      • Scales
        • All drawings should be drawn to scale, indicated in the title block.
        • Different scales can be used for details, shown under each relevant detail.
        • Recommended scales for details are: 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, and 1:50.
      • Site Plans
        • Site plans should include the type drawing numbers, north line, and direction of the prevailing wind.
      • Architectural Drawings
        • Architectural drawings should include ground plan, section through the building, front and side elevation of abutments and piers, and drawings of non-standardized details.
      • Bridge Plans
        • Bridge plans should include the standard of loading and reference to the type drawing of the girder.
      • Water Supply Plans
        • Plans of water supply, pumping, storage, and distribution systems should show complete dimensions, details, and reduced levels of salient points.
      • Drainage and Sewerage Plans
        • Plans of drains and sewerage should show complete dimensions, details, sufficient site features, gradient, and reduced levels of salient points.

    Symbols and Colours on Drawings

    • Symbols and Abbreviations

      • Symbols used on site plans and plans of station yards should conform to BIS code SP46-1988.
      • Table 19.1 of BIS code SP46-1988 can be referred to for commonly accepted abbreviations and symbols.
      • When using abbreviations and symbols in engineering drawings, the following points should be kept in mind:
        • Only capital letters are used for abbreviations to ensure legibility.
        • Abbreviations which have been standardized nationally/internationally using lower-case letters should be written according to the corresponding standard.
        • Abbreviations are the same for singular and plural usage.
        • Periods (full stop symbol) are not to be used except where the abbreviation marks a work (e.g., No; FIG.).
        • For hyphenated words, abbreviations are to be hyphenated.
        • Avoid using a single symbol for more than one term or quantity.

    • Colour Conventions

      • Existing work that is to remain should be in full line.
      • Work that is to be dismantled should be in thin dotted lines.
      • New additional work should be in full red lines.
      • New additional work that is not to be done at the same time as the bulk of the work should be in broken red lines.
      • Work to be relaid or rebuilt elsewhere on the same plan should be in full yellow lines.
      • Coloured lines may also be used to distinguish tracks of different railways at junctions (e.g., M.G. or N.G. from B.G. tracks and buildings of different railways).
      • The following colours print clearly on ferro-paper:
        • Black: Indian ink
        • Red: Vermilion red or scarlet lake
        • Yellow: Chrome yellow
        • Green: Emerald green
