The design documentation consists of the preliminary design, final design and working design.

 

PRELIMINARY DESIGN

The preliminary design is the set of adequately harmonized drawings and documents showing basic physical, functional and technical solutions for the future facility and its position in space. The design is presented on the basic national map or on an another topographic map produced on an appropriate scale. It contains drawings, technical solution, data about geotechnical and other investigations, and indicators showing acceptability of the technical solution (mechanical stability, fire protection, water supply and, if necessary, drainage and traffic solution).

 

The preliminary design is the basis for the delivery of the provisional building permit.

 

FINAL DESIGN

The final design is the set of adequately harmonized design documents which together provide an appropriate technical solution for the project. The location permit and special construction requirements are an integral part of the final design.

The final design may be formed of a number of different design documents:

•architectural design,

•civil engineering design,

•installation work design,

•equipment installation design,

•other types of design (such as geotechnical design, foundation work design, landscape improvement design, noise protection design, etc.)

Individual design documents that are included in the final design contain:

•drawings,

•technical description,

•construction cost estimate,

•data on geotechnical and other investigations that have served as basis for design work,

•analysis of mechanical resistance and stability, including determination of hydraulic, energy-related and physical properties proving that the facility has been designed in accordance with the BL,

•quality control and quality assurance program,

•layout of the facility on the basic national map, or on an another topographic map of appropriate scale,

•waste management method which should be, in case of toxic waste, in accordance with toxic waste management regulations,

•special technical requirements.

The final design is a basis for the delivery of the building permit.

The Contractor will receive from the Client one copy of the approved final design, and one copy of the design approved by the Designer and the Chief Designer.

The cost of any additional copies of the design, if ordered by the Contractor, shall be borne by the Contractor. The Contractor may order a copy of the design, or a copy of individual parts of the design, which will be delivered to him on an appropriate electronic medium for data storage. In case of dispute, the duly approved design documentation will prevail.

 

 

WORKING DESIGN

The working design is a detailed elaboration of the technical solution for the planned development. It is prepared in order to meet requirements specified in the final design. The working design must be prepared in conformity with the final design. The final design Designer shall decide whether the working design has been elaborated in harmony with the final design.
