Standard Drawings, Design Manual, Specifications & AutoCAD Sample Drawings
Standard Drawings
MSD has updated its acceptable Standard Drawings. These details are for use with MSD designed projects
and for private development design. The details are expected to be used as
presented, but modifications may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. The
appropriate drawings need to be referenced with each project within the
Special Provisions and drawings. Any modification from a standard should
be shown as a separate detail within the set of plans. Standard Drawing
details should be referenced by number on the plans.
The drawings are
meant to be flexible documents. There will be revisions and additions from
time to time. It is important that the users make recommendations for
changes to the details or suggest the creation of new details. All
comments will be reviewed.
For your
information, MSD is not providing copies of these drawings in
digital form on a CD. Instead, drawings are available for download at the
bottom of this page.
Green Management Practices (GMP) Manual
A new addition to the MSD Design Manual is Chapter 18, Green Management Practices (GMP) Manual. MSD is promoting GMPs to supplement traditional development and construction methods to encourage environmental sustainability and economic growth. Green infrastructure is a term commonly applied to stormwater GMPs such as pervious pavement, rain gardens and bioswales. These GMPs are designed to infiltrate rain water into the ground rather than it running into MSD’s combined sewers or the community’s waterways. The GMPs should be considered as a list of tools and should be implemented based on the site conditions and stormwater management needs to comply with Clean Water Act, post-construction stormwater water quality and quantity requirements.
Design Manual
The MSD Design Manual is a guide for the planning and design of stormwater
systems, flood protection works, sanitary sewers, erosion control
structures, small sanitary pump stations, small wastewater treatment
plants and associated activities MSD.
The Design Manual
identifies a single set of standards, submittal requirements and approval
procedures to be used in the planning and design of projects within the
MSD service area. The Design Manual is not intended to serve as a
step-by-step design methodology nor can the Design Manual address every
situation, which may arise. The application of sound engineering/surveying
principles and judgment combined with the information contained in the
manual are necessary to complete the planning, design, and preparation of
related construction documents for stormwater, sanitary sewer and/or
wastewater projects. Approval of plans by MSD shall not relieve the
designer or developer from required compliance with the provisions of the
manual unless a written variance is received from MSD.
MSD's Design Manual can be
downloaded from links at the bottom of this page.
MSD
Specifications
MSD Standard Specifications and Inflow & lnfiltration (I/I) Specifications
have been developed for construction and rehabilitation of stormwater systems,
flood protection works, sanitary sewers, erosion control structures, small
sanitary pump stations, small wastewater treatment plants and associated
activities within MSD's service area. In particular, the Standard
Specifications, the S- Pages, are typically for new construction of
facilities and appurtenances. They provide a description of work,
materials that are approved for use, and the necessary workmanship and
procedures to be followed in constructing the various types of projects.
They form a vital part of the contract documents for MSD capital
construction as well as privately funded developments. They are expected
to be interpreted in cooperation with the project drawings and as a
complement to them.
The Inflow and
Infiltration (I/I) specifications are included in the II- pages. These are
an approved set of standards for rehabilitation of MSD systems. Primarily,
they were developed to help reduce the effects of I/I by defining the
materials, describing the work and the process for various repair types.
Copies of the both
sets of specifications are available for download from this page.
AutoCAD Sample
Drawings
Chapter 4 of the MSD Design Manual outlines AutoCAD standards in order
to provide consistency with respect to plan and document development and
for compatibility with respect to the sharing of data and document
storage. Sample drawings have been created in order to demonstrate the
use and function of the standard layers, linetypes, and symbols for
typical plan sheets. Not all plan sheets or situations have been
addressed.
MSD is in the process of developing a AutoCAD Civil 3D template. This
template is a continuously evolving project. As consultants use this
template MSD would like feedback including, but not limited to, styles
that needed to be added, removed, or revised. If you have created a
style that you believe should be included please let us know.

improvement please

files below have been scanned from hardcopy originals. The quality of most
of the images is acceptable, some could be better but all are readable. As
the drawings are revised in the digital form, the pages will be updated.
Please bear with us as we try to provide the best product possible.
