2.2.1 MEDIA
Original drawings shall be prepared on Mylar polyester film, 0.8 mm (3 mil) minimum
thickness, with matte surface on both sides. Pencil or ink may be used on the film.
Drawings reproduced to provide background shall also be Mylar polyester film, matte-
finished on both sides. Ammonia-developed Mylar and plastic-coated paper reproducibles
are not acceptable.
All contract drawings shall be made on standard A1 sheets, 594 x 841 mm.
Study drawings and sketches shall be prepared on metric standard size drawing
sheets.
The standard drawing title block shall be located at the lower right hand corner of
the drawing. See Figure 2-1.
1. Contract No. (Contract No.): This will be issued by the Royal Commission
at time of contract award.
2. Work Breakdown Structure No. (WBS No.): This shall be indicated, if
issued, by the Royal Commission.
3. Revision No. (Rev. No.): During the design phase, the Contractor may
indicate the review submittal stage in the Revision No. with a letter, starting
with A for the conceptual submittal, and B, C, D, etc. for subsequent
submittals. The submittal stage should also be stated in the Revision
Block.
During the Bidding Phase the design Contractor shall not indicate a
revision at "Rev. No." and shall note in the first open line of the Revisions
block "Issued for Bidding" and dated with the date of issue for the Request
for Proposal (RFP).
Revision level at Construction shall be indicated by a number zero for the
initial issue of the drawig for construction, and Revisions Block noted
"Issued for Construction" and all "Clouding" removed from the drawings.

6. Scale: Each drawing shall note the scale used for that drawing. A graphic
scale shall be provided to establish a relative scale for drawings to be
reduced.
7. Drawing number should be the same for all drawings identified also by
sheet number.
C. Drawing Layout
Plans, sections, and details shall be laid out on the sheet in such a manner that
the portion on the right side of the sheet above the title block is reserved for
indicating notes, key plan, schedules, revisions and other miscellaneous
requirements.
D. North Arrow:
Normally, the north arrow shall be placed in the upper left corner of each plan
drawing, as shown in Figure 2-2. Drawings (except plans and profiles of roads
and utilities) shall be oriented so that the north arrow points up (preferred) or to the
left.
Figure 2-3 shows a sample facility key plan that shall be used to shown the sheet
numbers of particular portions of a large facility that cannot be shown on one
sheet. The hatched area on the key plan shall indicate the corresponding area
shown on that particular sheet.
Key plans, when used for facilities, shall be located in the lower right portion of the
drawing above the title block unless directed otherwise. Orientation on each plan
shall be identical to that shown on the key plan.
Figure 2-4 shows a sample gridline system for use in dimensioning and locating
areas and items.
Gridline systems, when used, shall show numbers reading from left to right in the
horizontal direction of the area and letters reading from top to bottom in the vertical
direction. The system must be laid out so that no two points will have the
2-12
September 2007
same coordinates. Intermediate gridlines shall be identified by decimal; e.g.,
gridline 7.3 is 3/10 of the distance between gridlines 7 and 8, gridline B.6 is 6/10 of
the distance between gridline B and C.
F. Drawing Ownership
Figure 2-6 show the method to be used for indicating elevations, sections and
details on all contract drawings.
If symmetry exists in plan, elevation, or section, this may be noted and only one-
half of the construction need be shown. Minor differences in construction may be
shown by noting "symmetrical about the centerline unless otherwise noted" and
identifying those details that are not symmetrical.
The detail should not be rotated, reversed, or opposite hand from the base
drawing. When a detail is not identical in orientation due to revised location or
multiple locations, use details notes to define the deviations; e.g. "opposite hand"
or "rotated 90 degrees clockwise."
2-13
September 2007
2.2.2 PROCEDURES
A. Scales
Metric scales and the metric system shall be used on all drawings. The following
metric scales are recommended for general usage on drawings; however, they are
not meant to be mandatory. Should another scale be more appropriate in a
particular instance, it may be used.
Drawing Scale
Notes shall be presented in clear and concise English. A note is not adequate if it
does not convey the exact design intent. All notes shall be listed on the right hand
side of the drawing.
C. Units of Measure
All units of measure are to be in accordance with The International System of Units
(SI).
D. Background Indications
E. Equipment Designation
2-18
September 2007
F. Welding Symbols
G. Abbreviations
For the sake of clarity, all terms shall generally be spelled out; however, it will
occasionally become necessary to use abbreviations. When this is the case, a
legend shall be provided based on the American National Standards Institute's list
of abbreviations.
H. Schedules
Formats for equipment, materials, and other schedules shall be as included herein.
I. Match Lines
Match lines shall be in identical locations for all discipline drawings covering the
same area. Avoid placing match lines on gridlines or column lines and through
congested areas. Drawings shall not extend beyond the match lines. Match lines
also shall be shown on the key drawings. Coordinates shall be shown for gridlines
and match lines.
J. Standard Drawings
Standard drawings and standard detail sheets may be used. However, details that
do not apply to the specific facility shall be removed, or indicated as not applicable.
K. Revision
In addition to the identifying letter or number, each revision shall be dated and
shall include a brief description of the revision and the initials of the checker. The
information for each revision shall remain on the drawing. Such terms as "general
revision" or "as shown" are inadequate for a description and shall not be used.
Each revision location shall be identified with a 10-mm equilateral triangle, with the
revision number in it, near the item revised. A cloud shall enclose the revised area
and the revision triangle. Extreme care shall be used in drawing the cloud to
clearly indicate the extent of the revision (for the illustration in Figure 2-7, the
dimension was not added but was changed). One cloud and triangle shall be used
to identify several closely grouped changes.
2-19
September 2007
When the next revision is made, all existing clouds and triangles shall be removed.
New triangles and clouds shall be added for the new changes in accordance with
the procedure outlined above.
If revisions are too numerous to describe in the revision block or too numerous to
practically identify with clouds, describe the change under a revision note in the
body of the drawing and refer to the note in the revision block.
L. Reference Drawings

September 2007
2.2.3 PACKAGING
A. Sequence of Drawings
The first sheet of each volume in a project shall be a cover sheet indicating project
title and contract number, volume title, and R.C. logo.
In general, the second sheet (and limited sub- sequent sheets) shall provide a site
plan, key map, vicinity map, and table of contents. The table of contents shall list
sequentially the indexes for the civil drawings, each facility's drawings, and the
standard detail drawings (if any). A drawing index shall precede the civil drawings
and each facility package. The index of drawings in a particular volume shall not
be included in any other volume of drawings.
The following list shows the order and assemblage of a typical drawing package.
Other packages shall follow a similar sequence.
1. Cover sheet
2. Table of contents
5. Repeat format for each individual facility starting with 201, 301, etc.
B. Grouping Drawings
A multiple facility design shall (except for civil drawings) be grouped in the design
drawing package in such a manner that a single facility may be withdrawn by
2-22
September 2007
The graphic symbols used by each discipline shall be shown in a legend on one drawing
of the discipline set.
Material symbols often reduce legibility and, therefore, shall be used only when required
to avoid confusion. Material symbols for large areas shall be drawn only at corners,
edges, and cutouts to reduce congestion. Shading on the back of the drawing will not be
permitted. Material symbols shall be drawn on the front of the sheet and defined in a
legend.
All drawing symbols planned for use that differ from or supplement those included
hereinafter shall be submitted for approval.
2-23
September 2007
Shown herein are forms typical of those necessary for design submittals. The list is not intended
to be complete, but rather to indicate the general format and level of detail required.
The forms are of a type commonly used in engineering analysis and calculations and use of
similar forms is recommended. Regardless of the format used, the calculations will be acceptable
in any convenient set of units, but all results shall be converted and shown on the design
drawings.

A. General
The design analysis report shall be a written explanation of the project design
process, included as a part of each design submission. It is intended as a guide
for design development and as a record of all significant actions affecting the
function, schedule, and cost of the project. Written material may be illustrated by
calculations, diagrams, and sketches to convey design concepts.
The design analysis report shall be presented on size A4 paper (210 x 297 mm)
except that multiples of this sheet size may be used when required for graphs or
other special illustration forms. All sheets shall be of reproducible quality. The
material may be typewritten, handwritten or a combination thereof, provided it is
legible.
C. Organization
The several parts and sheets of the design analysis report shall be given a
sequential binding number and bound under a cover indicating the name of the
facility and project number, if applicable. The title page shall carry the designation
of the submission being made, such as concept design, intermediate(s), and final
design submission. The completed design analysis presented with the final
drawings and specifications shall carry the designation "Final Design Analysis" on
the title page.
D. Code Compliance
The design shall conform to minimum code requirements. Analysis shall be based
on the latest edition of the specified codes (IBC, NFPA etc.) at the time the
contract is awarded. It shall include occupancy classification, occupant load,
construction type, allowable building area, exits and other applicable code
requirements. It shall also indicate all deviations from the code, including the
reason and extent of such deviations. The final analysis and applicable code
requirements with reference shall be included in DAR as well as in Drawings.
E. Basis of Design
F. Design Calculations
Design calculations are a part of the design analysis. When calculations are
voluminous, they shall be bound separately from the narrative part of the design
2-66

analysis report, and shall incorporate a title page and index for each volume. The
source of loading conditions, supplementary sketches, graphs, formulas, and
references shall be identified. Assumptions and conclusions shall be explained.
Calculation sheets shall carry the project title, contract number, the initials of the
persons preparing and checking the calculations, and the dates the work was
performed. No portion of the calculations shall be computed and checked by the
same person. Calculations may be prepared in any convenient system of units,
but all results shall be converted to and shown in Standard International (SI) units.
When an ADPS is used to perform calculations, the design analysis shall include
descriptions of the computer programs used and copies of the ADPS input data
and output summaries. The description shall also include,

SECTION 3
The area has an equatorial desert climate tempered by its location on the Red Sea coast.
A. Winds
The wind condition at Yanbu is dominated by a local sea and land breeze system
that is driven by diurnal heating and cooling of the land. The predominant sea
breeze is from the northwest during the afternoon, continuing until late evening.
The morning land breeze blows from the east southeast. Winds are strongest in
the months of February and August when the system is combined with tradewind
monsoon weather. For design purposes a maximum wind velocity of 120 km/h
shall be assumed. Sand and dust storms occur occasionally, typical of a desert
environment.

3.7 MECHNICAL DESIGN - UTILITY AND PROCESS PIPING
3.7.1 GENERAL
Utility and process piping design shall include piping and instrumentation diagrams
(P&IDs) and piping design drawings. P&IDs shall be schematic, showing piping material
designations, line numbers and sizes, valves, piping specialties, controls, and
instruments. All piping design layouts shall be based on approved P&IDs.
1. Pressure drop through piping shall be calculated using the Darcy equation.

3. The recommended values of pressure drop and velocity for line sizing are
shown in Table 3-1.
3-41
September 2007
a
Average flowrates should not be used with positive displacement pumps. If suction
piping is complex, 0.3 m/sec should be used and a check for recommendations made
with pump supplier.
b
NPSH requirement is the major criterion for sizing pump suction lines.
c
Vessel suction nozzle size is often set by velocity limits to prevent vortexing. Line
must be run at least 1.5 m vertical from nozzle at nozzle size, before reducing the size
of the line.
d
Effect of hydraulic surges should be checked before using these maximums.
e
These values are for headers within plant limits; short branch lines may be sized for
two to three times greater friction loss.
f
Sonic or acoustic velocity, m/s = gkZRT/MW where
g = 9.8 m/s2
k = cp/cv
Z = compressibility factor
R = 847.8/MW
T = absolute temperature ºK (ºC + 273)
MW = molecular weight
g
These velocities will usually be applied only to short branches. Their use for headers
will result in very high friction loss.
2. When pumps are specified, a rated flow 10% over normal capacity shall be
used. In the pump differential head calculation, the following applies:

Private residence electrical load estimates begin with estimating the electrical
demand for each individual housing unit, i.e., villa, town house or apartment.
Estimating methods described in the following guidelines use VA/m2 demand
factors to calculate total demand for a housing unit.
When the actual living area (ALA) of a housing unit is known, use Figure 3-5 to
find the VA/m2. This table shows VA/m2 values for housing units up to 1000 m2.
The demand for housing units larger than 1000 m2 can be calculated using
formulas in Tables 3.11.8.1 and 3.11.8.2.
For new subdivisions, when the ALA of housing units is not known, it must be
estimated from lot sizes by applying restrictions from zoning codes with regard to
3-75
September 2007
allowable or useable building space for individual lots. If the entire allowable
building space of a particular lot were to be used, the resulting housing unit would
have a maximum living area (MLA). However, empirical data for MYAS residential
areas has shown that housing units with MLA are extremely rare. The same data
has shown that realistic estimates for expected sizes of housing units can be
estimated by applying appropriate factors to calculated MLA values to produce
estimated living area (ELA) values. See Table 3.11.8.1 for ELA calculation
formulas. ELA values are then used with Figure 3-5 to estimate electrical demand.
Use formulas in Table 3.11.8.2 to calculate diversified demand for residential loads
at main circuit or substation levels.
Formulas and factors used in Table 3.11.8.1, Table 3.11.8.2, Table 3.11.8.3 and
Figure 3.-5 are derived in Engineering Report No. E-002 entitled ‘COMMUNITY
AREA SIX HAIIS REPORT ON INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS &

3.15 PROCEDURE TO SHOW NEW WORK ON EXISTING AS-BUIILT DRAWINGS
In many cases, there are existing common systems and equipment that are to be shared
or interfaced by the contractor’s new work and the contractor may need to show either
some or all of his work on the existing original “As-Built” drawings. The following criteria
shall be followed.
2. The contractor shall show a new Revision in the “Revision Box” of the existing
“As-Built” drawing that will indicate that the drawing has been revised under the
new contract. The drawing number of the existing “As-Built” drawing shall, of
course, remain unchanged and the drawing will be returned to the existing
contract for filing after a mylar copy has been made for inclusion in the set of
design drawings for the new contract.
3. Both the existing “As-Built” drawing and the new drawing shall provide
appropriate cross references as necessary.
2. A new revision in the Revision Box” will indicate that the drawing has been
revised/modified under the new contract.
5. The contractor’s new drawing list under the current contract shall include the
revised “As-Built” drawing number from the existing contract.
In many cases, the existing “As-Built” drawings are in very poor shape and barely
legible. A new drawing may be required to replace the existing “As-Built” drawing. The
procedure to replace an existing “signed (by RCM) and stamped As-Built” drawing
may not always be same in all cases and may require a differential treatment as noted
below. The matter should be brought to the attention of the Authorized Representative
(PE or RCM) for proper resolution.
3-108
• In some cases, a note and a reference in the existing “As-Built” drawing to indicate
that the drawing has been replaced (or voided) with a new drawing under the current
contract will suffice. A new drawing number will be assigned to the replacement
drawing and the existing “As-Built” drawing will be returned to be filed with the
existing contract
• But in other cases, the existing drawing number will be retained on the replaced
drawing and filed with the existing contract. The contractor’s new drawing list under
the new contract will include the replaced drawing from the existing contract.
• In any case, drawing sets in the new contracts must be complete with copies of
affected drawings from As-Built files. The integrity of As-Built drawing files, including
drawing numbering, must be preserved. Cross referencing and information
documentation on affected As-Built drawings and affected drawings in new project
drawing files must provide adequate direction for quick and easy assimilation of total
system and/or facility design records.
Horizontal and vertical survey data on primary survey monuments on or adjacent to work
site, generally not exceeding 1 km intervals, will be furnished by the Royal Commission.
Only those survey control monuments and data furnished by the Royal Commission are
to be used by the Contractor in establishing additional control points and setting out for
construction.
The Contractor shall make a formal application to the Royal Commission for data on
survey control points in their particular project area prior to construction.
The description, elevation and location (co-ordinates) of all survey control points, bench
marks, and reference points established by the Contractor must be documented. Two
copies of each document shall be furnished to the Royal Commission.
Documents furnished by the Contractor can be in the form of field notes, field sketches
or standard plan type drawings.

SECTION 4
4.1 GENERAL
Construction specifications for Madinat Yanbu Al-Sinaiyah shall be based on the format of the
Royal Commission Standard Construction Guide Specifications, Divisions 1 through 16.
The Royal Commission will furnish standard sections to the Contractor, as requested
and selected by him, from the list of standard sections. The Contractor shall edit the
sections he receives, to add or delete specification data to suit the project requirements.
Specification sections which are not available from the Royal Commission shall be
prepared by the Contractor in the same format and depth of information as shown in the
standard sections. The furnishing of a standard guide specification section by the Royal
Commission shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor of his full responsibility for
the adequacy and correctness of the technical and related data.
The organization and order of each section into four parts entitled General, Products,
Execution and Measurement and Payment shall be followed whenever the length and
subject matter require each of the parts.
The numbering of sections shall correspond to the numbering system listed in the
Construction Specifications Institute's Manual of Practice.
The correct usage of words such as "shall," "will," "should," and "may" is of prime
importance. "Shall" shall be used whenever a specification expresses a provision that is
binding, and "will" to express a declaration of purpose on the part of the Royal
Commission. It may be necessary to use "will" in cases where simple futurity is required
(e.g., "power for the motor will be supplied by the ship"). "Should" and "may" shall be
used whenever nonmandatory provisions must be expressed.
4-1
September 2007
The Contractor shall investigate the availability of Saudi Arabian-manufactured products for use
in the Madinat Yanbu Al-Sinaiyah construction program, and where they exist these products
shall be incorporated into the design and specified.

7.3 FORMAT
This paragraph refers to utilization of recommended construction cost estimate sample forms
(Figure 7-1 through 7-6). If other estimating forms are proposed for use, they shall be submitted
for prior Royal Commission approval. Each construction cost estimate shall be organized into
three parts: 1) Direct costs for each bid item, 2) General Requirements and Indirect Costs for an
entire construction bid package, and 3) Risk and profit for an entire construction bid package.
(See Table 7.4.C).
A. Direct Costs - Direct Costs estimates for each bid item shall be prepared for each
applicable section of the specifications (usually the CSI format) and summarized
by specification division using the "Estimate Worksheet", Figure 7-2. The
specification division totals are then carried forward to the "Cost Estimate
Summary - Direct Cost" sheet, Figure 7-3. The total direct costs for each bid
item are the carried forward to the Direct Cost column of the "Overall Summary",
Figure 7-5. The amount estimated for cost reimbursable items shall be according
to the terms and conditions stated in the construction contract documents. Any
non-reimbursable portions of the direct costs associated with this category shall
be transferred to the fixed cost category.
