I GENERAL Checker 

Initials 

Follow these general detailing practices on all structural drawings as practical: 

Dimension elements once on a drawing, unless repeating is necessary for clarity

Present metric numbers with 5 or more digits with a single space between each group of three digits 

(except when used in rebar schedule)

Identify reference lines and use consistently throughout plans. Reference lines include but are not limited 

to CL Rdwy., CL Bridge, Layout Line, Begin and End Bridge (defined as fill face of endwall or 

breastwall), CL Bearing, CL Pier 

Scale all drawings or note “Not to Scale” if applicable. Use the appropriate scale bar cell when specifying 

the scale on the sheet border, and for those details on the sheet at different scales call out the scale.

Locate all exposed concrete faces and elements in relation to reference lines

Provide sections and details at as many locations as required to clearly define the intended design, with 

economy of details in mind

Provide separate drawings for detailing concrete dimensions and reinforcement layout for complex 

concrete shapes

Arrowheads and section arrows are same size and style regardless of drawing scale

Text font and size are consistent 

Use standard centerline symbol as produced by key function 

Order of PS&E bridge drawings follows the general order outlined in Section III (General Notes may 

appear on General Plan and Elevation sheet if there is sufficient room) 

Locate all reinforcement from exposed concrete faces

Identify all reinforcement in two separate views

Identify all bars that are to be epoxy coated with “E” (i.e. #4EA bars)

Identify reinforcement clearances if other than 2” 

Identify all minimum lap splice lengths

Refer to concrete faces as “fill face”, “other face”, or “each face” or respective abbreviations “f.f.”, “o.f.”, 

“e.f.”. Use standard cell for abbreviation table.

Detail bar placements following the convention “x spa. @ x = xx”. Avoid designation “x equal spa. = x”, 

for construction considerations. 

When dimensioning to centerlines, solidify that section of line to be dimensioned to

Arrows used at ends of leader lines for pointing to specific points or surface lines. Squiggles (~) at ends 

of lines used for specifying surface areas. 

Main Title Blocks on all drawings shall be in the following format: 

PARTNER AGENCY 

BRIDGE NAME – STRUCTURE # 

COUNTY, STATE 

SHEET TITLE NAME 

Structure # will be supplied by BIP for those projects under the BIP program. 

Project block (upper right hand corner) shall contain Region, State, Project name, and sheet numbering (as

Information entered in the border blocks at the bottom of sheet (names, dates, revisions, etc.) first letter 

capitalized. Names spelled out unless abbreviations are necessary because of length.
