Problems with the as-built drawings of pressure vessels.
Thread Content
Our company is launching a new project that involves many pressure vessels. When signing the contract, the equipment manufacturer said that providing the owner with one set of as-built drawings would be sufficient. Is this one set enough? Of course, the owner needs to have their own set; should we also provide one set to the local pressure vessel regulatory authority? This post was last edited by hmsjghy on 2009-3-3 12:21]
How many sets is entirely up to the owners. According to the provider’s advice, at the very least one set should be provided to the owner. It’s not a problem if the client wants more.
One as-built drawing from the owner is sufficient; there is no need to provide it to the local pressure vessel regulatory authority. When applying for the permit, just show it to them. That’s how we handle it.
One is enough; having so many is pointless and a waste. My petrochemical company starting with the character for ‘country’ needs one.
Our container manufacturing plants provide one set each; of course, we can also meet any special requirements from the client. After all, customers are kings! ! !
2 sets of as-built drawings, one to be delivered to the owner along with the equipment, and the other to be archived by the manufacturer. However, the owner can require several sets of design documents in the technical agreement.
Our department needs to produce 6-8 copies, and sometimes even more! Note: The as-built drawings are the final drawings, with no modifications at all
Two sets of as-built drawings are provided: one with changes (equipment dimensions, substitute materials used in manufacturing), and the other without any changes (the original design drawings). Both sets are delivered to the owner along with the equipment. If the owner wants more, they can request several sets of design drawings in the technical agreement.

There is only one set of as-built drawings, and this one is stamped with the as-built drawing seal. But eventually, multiple copies of the materials can be provided. I’ve encountered clients who requested two sets of as-built drawings, but it’s simply not possible to produce them. All that can be provided are copies of the as-built drawings as duplicates, or blueprints without the as-built stamp. When signing the technical annex, we always specified that one set of as-built drawings (i.e., one original copy) should be provided, along with copies of the documents, which can be multiple in number.
Our company keeps two copies: one for the customer and one for our own company.
The as-built drawing is the final version of the drawings; any changes that occur during the manufacturing process must be reflected in these drawings, along with the date of the change and the name of the person who made it. A copy of the change order should also be included therein or placed in the quality documents; the quality documents shall contain a change report as required by the specifications
