Civil Engineering and Development Department Technical Circular No. 25/2004
CEDD Standard Drawings
Introduction
This circular promulgates guidelines on the use and the responsibilities for
reviewing and updating of CEDD Standard Drawings.
Effective Date
2.
This circular shall take immediate effect.
Background
3.
The first set of CED Standard Drawings was published in October 1991 as a
collection of Standard Drawings issued by the then Civil Engineering Department, together
with some general drawings applicable to most Government projects.
4.
The document was originally issued in loose jacket form and was later bound in
book form for sale to the public since August 1996.
5.
The CED Standard Drawings were renamed as CEDD Standard Drawings upon
the merger of the former Civil Engineering Department and the Territory Development
Department in July 2004.
Guidelines on Application of Standard Drawings
6.
The Standard Drawings are intended to give guidance on suitable design details
and solutions for commonly encountered situations. They are not mandatory and should be
reviewed by project engineers to ensure suitability for use in each individual case.
7.
Direct application of the Standard Drawings to works should be done only with
great caution, as some of the Standard Drawings are not sufficiently precise to be appropriate
for use as contract drawings, and hence could give rise to disputes or claims for additional
payment.
