apply to definitive designs and standard drawings
and also to project specifications. EFDs and A/Es
are allowed latitude in new concepts, creative
thinking, and the use of new materials; however,
when deviations from mandatory criteria are
considered, they need to obtain prior clearance
from NAVFACENGCOM headquarters.
For dimensions on project drawings, you may
use customary U.S. dimensions unless the project
is in an area in which System International (SI)
is normally used. The International System of
Units is the internationally accepted metric
system. Use of the word metric is no longer an
accepted practice. For details of the proper use
of SI units, refer to ASTM E380-82, Standard for
Metric Practice, for generic conversions, and
ASTM E621-79, Recommended Practice for the
Use of Metric (SI) Units in Building Design and
Construction, for conversions in engineering and
design.
ORDER OF DRAWINGS
Project drawings for buildings and structures
are arranged in the following order:
1. TITLE SHEET AND INDEXContains
specific project title and an index of drawings.
(Used only for projects containing 60 or more
drawings).
2. PLOT OR VICINITY PLANSContain
either plot or vicinity plans or both, as well as civil
and utility plans. For small projects, this sheet
should include an index of the drawings.
3. LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION (if
applicable).
4. ARCHITECTURAL (including interior
design as applicable).
5. STRUCTURAL.
6. MECHANICAL (heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning).
7. PLUMBING.
8. ELECTRICAL.
9. FIRE PROTECTION.
DRAWING SHEET SIZE AND FORMAT
The following should be used for NAV-
FACENGCOM drawings:
TYPE
SIZE (IN INCHES)
Flat
17 x 22 (C size) - When small sheets are
required
Flat
22 x 34 (D size) - for project and other
drawings
Flat
28 x 40 (F size) - option to 22 x 34
Refer to chapter 3, figure 3-14 for finished draw-
ing and format and margins.
Title Blocks
The title block indicates the name and
location of the activity preparing the drawing,
drawing title and number, approval within
the activity and by an activity other or
different than the source preparing the drawing,
and other information relative to preparation
of the drawing,
such as the predominant
scale used, drawing size letter designation,
and sheet number for multiple sheet drawings.
The code identification number or Federal
Supply Code for Manufacturers (FSCM) 80091
is required in the title block of all NAV-
FACENGCOM drawings. Vertical title block
format is used for all 22- by 34-in. (D-size)
drawings; whereas, use of vertical title block
is optional for 28- by 40-in. (F-size) drawings.
The layout and format for title blocks are
shown in chapter 3,
ANSI Y14.1-1980.
Drawing Numbers
figures 3-15 to 3-21, and in
NAVFACENGCOM drawing numbers issued
to individual engineering field divisions are within
the following limits:
NORTHERN DIVISION . . . . . .2 000 000 to 2 999 999
CHESAPEAKE DIVISION . . .3 000 000 to 3 999 999
ATLANTIC DIVISION . . . . . . . .4 000 000 to 4 999 999
SOUTHERN DIVISION . . . . . . .5 000 000 to 5 999 999
WESTERN DIVISION . . . . . . . .6 000 000 to 6 999 999
PACIFIC DIVISION . . . . . . . . . .7 000 000 to 7 999 999
NAVFACENGCOM headquarters retains
custody of all of the numbers up to and including
1 999 999 and all other drawing numbers not
assigned. Each cognizant EFD is responsible for
the control of assigned numbers for issuing,
assigning, and recording these numbers for its
own use or the use of activities within its
geographical area.
Each activity maintains
an assignment record including locations and
drawing titles of drawing numbers assigned to it.
