The purpose of the Line Design Compliance Plan is to identify the current line design environment and create a structured process to improve the line design integrity of the utility. It can be used as long-term documentation to identify the engineering procedures used for a specific year. The plan will be specific for each utility and should be updated every two-years. The Line Design Compliance Plan will include:
- Acknowledgement completed by CEO and responsible charge engineer
- Corporate requirements
- Description of projects that require an engineer’s review
- Description of line design calculations
- Standards and Design Criteria
- Procedures to obtain field information
- Degree of accuracy with surveying techniques
- Foreign utilities
- Required software to perform calculations
- Design guidelines
- Construction management
- Line design technician development and certification schedule
