Shop Drawings for other structures such as signs, railings, bearings and other items are normally reviewed by field personnel and/or design specialists.  \nTerms and Definitions  \nThe term “Shop Drawings” is used in this memo although “Working Drawings” has traditionally been used at Caltrans. Shop Drawings are for use by the fabricator in order to cut, shape, weld, punch, drill, sub-assemble, shop paint, and otherwise produce the pieces and assemblies which are sent to the project site, and for use in the field and show where steel components are to be placed and how they are fastened, welded and temporarily supported, and, if necessary, in what order they are to be assembled or erected.  \nPurpose of Shop Drawings  \nContract plans provide sufficient detail to bid and construct a project by showing material and dimensional requirements, but fabrication details are not necessarily included. Also, contract plan details may be generic or typical and not show all locations, some of which may vary slightly. Additionally, alternative details may be presented on contract plans, from which the contractor may choose their preferred method.  \nThe contractor, therefore, produces Shop Drawings for two purposes. One is to provide the fabrication shop with the necessary information to produce the steel components and assemblies required to complete the project. The other is to provide a plan for use in the field to properly place and install the fabricated members. The process of producing Shop Drawings has the added benefit of requiring the contractor to completely familiarize themselves with the details of a project and identify errors and omissions from the plans before any fabrication begins, at which point the cost of correcting errors is high.  \n12-1 Review of Shop DRawingS – Steel StRuctuReS 1  \nLRFD  \nThereview of Shop Drawings is important to assure the project will be built in conformance with the plans and specifications. It is obviously more desirable to identify errors on Shop Drawings rather than during fabrication or at the project site.  \nAs stated in the Standard Specifications, Section 5-1.23 the authorization of Shop Drawings  \ndoes not relieve the contractor of the responsibility to construct the project according to the plans and specifications.  \nFormat of Shop Drawings  \nStructural steel Shop Drawings are normally produced by a specialty sub-contractor of the fabricator, although sometimes the fabricator or contractor will produce their own Shop Drawings. Since there are hundreds of different companies producing Shop Drawings, format will vary. Legibility, a logical sequence of sheets, and overall organization are necessary, but format should not be reviewed or mandated.  \nRoles and Responsibilities  \nThe responsibility for checking Shop Drawings is shared by the Designer, the Structure Representative, and a representative from the Materials Engineering and Testing Services (METS) . A representative from the railroad company will also review Shop drawings for railroad bridges (underpasses) . METS and the Structure Representative and, if necessary, the railroad representative, send their comments to the Designer, making the Designer the focal point responsible for coordinating, discussing, and resolving problems. After discussion with the other reviewers, a consensus shall be reached on exactly what comments will be returned to the contractor. It may be acceptable for the Designer to discuss issues with the Shop Drawings producer directly, but approval to do so should be obtained from the Structure Representative. While all reviewers should be thorough in their review, METS generally is more focused on welding, materials, and painting.  \nThe general procedural requirements for handling Shop Drawings are","cbCaigXvQnhDmjCg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigXvQnhDmjCg","pdf",913902,"English","# Introduction\n## Terms and Definitions\n## Purpose of Shop Drawings\n# Roles and Responsibilities\n# Format of Shop Drawings\n# Review Guidelines\n## General","[{\"question\":\"What are shop drawings used for in steel bridge projects?\",\"answer\":\"Shop drawings provide fabrication details for cutting, shaping, welding, and producing components, and they also guide the field placement and fastening of steel components during erection.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is reviewing shop drawings important before fabrication or construction?\",\"answer\":\"It is more desirable to identify and correct errors during the shop drawing stage, since corrections during fabrication or at the job site are typically more costly.\"},{\"question\":\"Who shares responsibility for checking shop drawings?\",\"answer\":\"Responsibilities are shared by the Designer, the Structure Representative, and METS, with an additional railroad company representative reviewing railroad bridge shop drawings.\"}]","LRFD 12-1 Review of Shop Drawings - Steel Structures - Guidelines | PDF",1792795356,18]
