Issues Mitigation
Unify Data Submission Media
1. All utility data applications should
be submitted as project through
building permit application CDP
under the Engineering Module.

Issues Mitigation
The Consultant submits CAD
drawings through CDP
Engineering module and as
per submission standards
SDD Staff use PDC
application checking
module to QC the drawings
and give initial approval
Urban planning Run the
entire planning approvals
process and grant final

2 Standards for Data Submission
1-Submission Format
1. All utility drawings should be submitted in AutoCAD
DWG format not later than 2012 release.
2. Sample drawings for all different types of utilities have
been created as per submission standards and enclosed
in the submission package.

2-Datum and Projection
1. The Standard Horizontal Datum For Abu Dhabi Emirates
is World Geodetic Reference 84 (WGS84) which defines
the spheroid used to represent the Earth.
2. The Standard Projection for Abu Dhabi Emirate is The
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM).
3. Abu Dhabi City Municipality is mostly contained in
UTM ZONE 40 North.
4. All drawing files must follow Abu Dhabi Municipality
coordinate system.
5. Features created in arbitrary coordinate system shall
not be accepted.
6. SDD supply Reference Data to facilitate adherence to
this coordinate system specification

1. Layers characteristics are specified
in the document and consultants
and contractors are required to
follow this specified layer
arrangement.
2. All Layers geometry and attribute
block are included in sample
drawings.
3. Geometric layer and attributes
block have the same name with
adding DETAIL to attributes Block.

5-Attributes As Block Attributes
1. Each layer in the drawing files
has corresponding block
attribute.
2. Block shares the same layer
name.
• Example “WTPIPE” is combined
with block attribute
“WTPIPEDETAIL”. Sample of Block Attributes

3 Tools For Data Submission
1. The tool is developed in LISP
programming language.
2. Allowing the users to QC the drawing
files directly in AutoCAD software
environment.
3. Users can check drawings compliance
prior submission and get a
comprehensive error report.

3 Tools For Data Submission
1. The tool is developed in LISP programming
language.
2. Allowing the users to extract segregated files
from main AutoCAD drawing and as per the
standard file naming criteria.
3. The drawings are saved as separate services
types in the same location where the main
drawing file was located.
