Abstract: This paper describes how we are utilizing a coordinate geometry software package to process field survey information and convert it to a plan view for the preparation of construction drawings. I would like to begin by offering some background information, Cincinnati Gas & Electric is a combination utility. In our engineering functions, we basically maintain separate design departments for gas and electric. In my department, we are responsible for the design of all new gas installations, whether they are new extensions or replacement of existing facilities. The last four years, we have designed an average of about 1,000,000 feet of pipe per year. We have to provide a base map for our designs for approximately 200,000 feet of this total per year. The rest is provided via design drawings from new developments or from street improvement projects. In years past, for various reasons, our design process included having our engineers and designers survey their own jobs and draw a rough base map for the design. Our construction drafting department then produced a drawing of the base map and the design to create a set of construction drawings.
