Grounding Plans and Details for substation grounding systems
Foundation Plans and Details for substation equipment
Cable Trough/Conduit Plans and Details for cable management
Foundation Layout Plans for substation components
Import tables and calculations (e.g., BOMs) and create notes for each drawing.
Steel Structure Fabrication Drawings (preferred) for substation structures
Concrete Foundation Detail Drawings (preferred) for substation equipment
Oil Containment Detail Drawings (preferred) for transformers and other equipment
Metal Grate Platforms Detail Drawings (preferred) for access and safety
Fire Wall Detail Drawings (preferred) for fire protection in substations
Self-Checking: Review and verify all work for accuracy before submission to the supervisor or designated reviewer.
