1 Completeness of Drawings:

1a. Drawing list, general notes, special notes on

respective drawing, location plan, layout plans,
setting out details, longitudinal and cross-
sections, and other details to cover the foundation
and structural aspects, other services that may be
affected etc.
1b. Completeness of General and Special Notes:

General and special notes should generally cover

extent of contract, concrete, reinforcement,
reference to specification etc. Adequacy of
description and spelling.
1c. Longitudinal Sections:

Longitudinal section should have distance,

existing ground levels, proposed invert levels,
drain size, gradient with design flood levels for
the respective design return periods.
1d. Cross Sections:

Where relevant, cross sections to include drain

dimension, side slope, concrete, steel
reinforcement, weephole with DCR wrapped in
geotextile (no weephole for peat area), lean
concrete, piling, cut and fill, services location and
crossings.
1e. Scale used on all drawings correct?

2 Hydraulic:
2a. Gradual transition is preferred than abrupt
transition, smooth bends, junctions to minimize
energy loss. Flow direction to follow natural
topography preferably.
Min. 0.3m freeboard should be provided. Max.
velocity not greater than 4m/s for r.c. drain, and
not greater than 1.2m/s for earth drain.
3. Structure:

Concrete grade, steel bar yield strength, min.

cover to reinforcement, bar bending dimension
and shape, min. lap length and jointing for precast
units being specified.
4. Foundation & Geotechnical:

4a. Sheet pile provided for major hydraulic structures

to control piping.
4b. Side slopes for earth drain not steeper than
1V:2H.
4c. Piling to set for major hydraulic structures like
tidal control structures.
5. Scour Protection:

5a. Any scour protection requires? E.g. at culverts

and tidal control structures inlets and outlets,
transitions, drops, channel banks etc.
6. Other Facilities:

6a. Detention/retention and water quality control

facilities shall be detailed out in plans and cross
sections. Additional details must be included to
show inlet/outlet systems and other pertinent
components.
6b. Any erosion and sedimentation control plan
required for Planning & Engineering Plan
approval? (new DID SUSTOM requirement)
7. Authority Requirement:

7a. Road and roadside drain reserve, manhole and

grating covers to follow standard Land & Survey
Department and council requirement unless
approval has been granted. Min. road cross fall
and gutter outlet provided to avoid road ponding.
8. Constructibility:

8a. Practicality for construction and maintenance?
