Standard Details
Standard Details Used for a host of small and often repeated items such as: Connections Penetrations Sealing Reinforcing Road and walk sections Curb, gutter Hydrants Etc, etc. Engineering organizations keep a vast library of standard details that are ‘tried and true’ for use on projects. The standard is used whenever possible because they are known to work – minimizes errors and problems
