Prepare drawings and topographical and relief maps used in civil

engineering projects, such as highways, bridges, pipelines, flood

control. Projects, and water and sewerage control systems. Produce

drawings, using computer-assisted drafting systems (cad) or drafting

machines. Draft plans and detailed drawings for structures,

installations, and construction projects, such as highways, sewage

disposal systems, and dikes, working from sketches or notes. Review

rough sketches, drawings, specifications, and other engineering data

received From civil engineers to ensure that they conform to design

concepts. Draw maps, diagrams, and profiles, using cross-sections and

surveys, to represent elevations, topographical contours, subsurface

formations, and structures. Determine the order of work and method of

presentation, such as orthographic or isometric drawing. Finish and

duplicate drawings and documentation packages according to required

mediums and specifications for reproduction, using blueprinting,

photography, or other duplicating methods. Correlate, interpret, and

modify data obtained from topographical surveys, well logs, and

geophysical prospecting reports. Supervise or conduct field surveys,

Inspections, or technical investigations to obtain data required to revise

construction drawings. Explain drawings to production or construction

teams and provide adjustments as necessary. Determine quality, cost,

strength, and quantity of required materials, and enter figures on

materials lists. Locate and identify symbols on topographical surveys to

denote geological and geophysical formations or oil field installations.

Calculate Excavation tonnage and prepare graphs and fill-hauling

diagrams for use in earth-moving operations. Calculate weights,

volumes, and Stress factors and their implications for technical aspects

of designs. Plot characteristics of boreholes for oil and gas wells from

Photographic subsurface survey recordings and other data,

representing depth, degree, and direction of inclination.
