1 Drawing titles

Drawing titles should be kept as brief as possible, and should be consistent within a set of drawings.
Where two drawings are required to be read together as part of a set, the designations "SHEET 1 OF 2",
"SHEET 2 OF 2" may be written in smaller letters under the main title (which must be identical in this case),
with supplementary information if required. For example:
SETTLING BASIN BASE SLAB
RC DETAILS
SHEET 1 OF 2, BOTTOM MAT

SETTLING BASIN BASE SLAB

RC DETAILS
SHEET 2 OF 2, TOP MAT
If multiple sets are used, it is always wise to provide an inset diagram with that individual set hatched
along with the total component drawing.

2 Drawing numbers
Drawing numbers should be coded in 13 letters, but 1 letter will be added for any revision made as in
Table 2-1.

the drawing code code number code (if
any)
a) Project Code:
Start of numbering will always be the project name initials. The code will be five project name
initials. For an example: For Saptang Khola Small Hydroelectric Project, it will be coded as SKSHP.

b) Stage Code:
2 letter stage codes indicate the stage/phases of the project. It is shown in Table 2-3.

c) Component Code:
Individual components of the proposed project will be numbered by two digit (00-99)
categorised as in Table 2-2:
