1. INTRODUCTION

General

1.1 This NRA GD 101, Preparation and Delivery Requirements for As-Built Records, Standard describes

requirements for preparation and delivery of As-Built Records for all national road schemes or any

other road scheme in Ireland for which As-Built Records are required.

1.2 This Standard should be read in conjunction with NRA BD 02, Technical Acceptance of Structures on

Motorways and Other National Roads, when dealing with structures on national road schemes.

1.3 The As-Built Records required by this Standard shall not be construed as exhaustive in all

circumstances. Where necessary, supplemental records shall be compiled on a project by project basis

to ensure effective management and maintenance of the National Road Network.

1.4 This Standard also identifies how the As-Built Records shall be stored and identifies the parties

responsible for preparing, delivering and storing the As-Built Records.

1.5 The requirements set out in this Standard represent a minimum level of technical information to be

provided to the Road Authority as part of the completion of a road scheme development in Ireland.

These requirements in no way replace or change the separate legal requirements for a safety file to be

prepared under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2006 (S.I. No. 504

of 2006).

Background

1.6 The As-Built Records described in this Standard have been informed by a range of distinct needs of

the various parties involved in post-construction activities on roads schemes, including;

a) Asset Management requirements;

b) Roads Authority legal requirements;

c) National Roads Authority requirements for the effective management of national roads;

d) Requirements to ensure that records held are compatible with other systems and in

appropriate formats, i.e. electronic and hardcopy systems; and

e) Requirements to ensure that the records are prepared, delivered and stored by the appropriate

parties.

1.7 While this Standard sets out requirements for the preparation and delivery of As-Built Records, the use,

management, maintenance, updating or archiving of final As-Built Records by the Road Authority are not

addressed in this Standard.

Scope

1.8 As-Built Records shall be provided for the following construction elements, or as otherwise agreed with

the Road Authority;

a) Earthworks

b) Road Geometry

c) Drainage

r) Environmental mitigation measures

s) Emergency Access / Crossovers, Garda Platforms and the like

t) Kerbs, Footways and Paved Areas

u) Walls, Brickwork, Blockwork and Stonework

v) Site Clearance

w) Pedestrian Guardrails

Definitions

1.9 The following definitions shall apply to this Standard:

a) ABR Producer – the As-Built Record (ABR) Producer is the party responsible under the

Contract for the preparation and delivery of As-Built Records for the scheme;

b) As-Built Record - is evidential material, which can include but is not limited to drawings,

documents, photographs, surveys, maps, models or any other record, providing a final

statement of what Works were completed on a road construction scheme;

c) Contractor – the organisation contracted by the Employer to undertake construction works

on its behalf. Under certain contracts, the Contractor is the ABR Producer, typically

supported by the Designer;

d) Designer – the organisation responsible for the overall design including proprietary

components;

e) Employer - is the Client organisation in the context of the construction Contract Conditions.

f) Employers Representative –The Engineer or other person (i.e. human persons and

corporate and unincorporated bodies) appointed by the Employer as its representative in

accordance with the Works Contract. Under certain contracts, the Employer’s Representative

is the ABR Producer; and

g) Road Authority – the relevant Local Authority responsible for the Scheme, or the National

Roads Authority for specifically defined Contracts such as PPP schemes, etc.

Implementation

1.10 This Standard shall be introduced forthwith for all national road schemes or any other road scheme in

Ireland for which As-Built Records are required.

1.11 Where the nature of the road scheme is such that only part of this Standard appears to be applicable, the

extent to which this Standard is applied shall be agreed in writing with the Road Authority.

1.12 Where this Standard is used for the production of As-Built Records in relation to Regional and Local

Road schemes, the requirements of the Standard shall be applied in full, unless otherwise agreed in writing

by the Road Authority.

2. AS-BUILT RECORDS – GENERAL

REQUIREMENTS Introduction

2.1 A standardised approach to the preparation, delivery and storage of As-Built Records is required,

which is intended to be a natural progression from the design and construction processes utilised by

the Employer, Contractor, Designer and Employer’s Representative (as appropriate) throughout the

design and construction of the road scheme. This Chapter 2 sets out general requirements applying to

certain elements of As-Built Records and the As-Built Records as a whole. Particular requirements

are set out in Chapter 3.

General

2.2 For National Roads Authority promoted schemes, all As-Built Records must clearly highlight both the

Scheme Name and the NRA Project Reference Number as they appear on the NRA Project Reporting

System (PRS). The NRA PRS is available on request from the National Roads Authority.

2.3 All As-Built Records, whether interim or final, shall be submitted in hard copy and electronic formats

(electronic form shall be on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM). One complete hard copy of the As-Built

Records and three copies of each CD-ROM or DVD-ROM shall be supplied to the Employer fully

labelled and indexed. One complete copy of each CD-ROM or DVD-ROM shall also be supplied to

the Head of Network Management, National Roads Authority, fully labelled and indexed. The format

for labelling and indexing shall meet the requirements of the Contract, as shall the electronic format of

the data on the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. In the absence of contractual requirements, the format for

labelling and indexing will be as agreed in writing with the Employer.

2.4 All As-Built Records shall be delivered in digital and hardcopy format. Digital files shall be provided

in native (editable) and PDF (Adobe Systems Portable Document Format, locked to editing) file

formats. Native files shall be provided in a format consistent with the source software used to create

the files.

2.5 All hardcopy As-Built Records prepared using colour elements to communicate pertinent information

shall be reproduced in colour for delivery.

2.6 All As-Built Records shall be clearly marked “As-Built Record” in red.

2.7 All As-Built Records shall meet the requirements of this Standard.

Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) and As-Built Records

2.8 All issues raised in non-conformance reports (NCRs) shall be addressed in parallel with the production

of As-Built Records. All NCRs raised more than 4 weeks prior to the submission of interim As-Built

Records shall be closed-out by the time the interim As-Built Records are submitted. All NCRs raised

on the scheme shall be closed-out to the satisfaction of the Employer prior to the submission of final

As-Built Records.

As-Built Topographic Surveys

2.9 As-built topographic surveys shall be provided in accordance with the requirements set out in this

Standard to verify the completed works, and shall form the basis for the production of as-built

drawings.



March 2013 5

As-Built Documents

2.10 As-built documents shall be provided in accordance with the requirements set out in this Standard.

The as-built documents to be prepared consist of reports, tables and schedules summarising the key

features of the scheme, templates for which have been included in Appendix A and referred to in

Chapter 3.

As-Built Drawings

2.11 As-built drawings shall be provided in accordance with the requirements set out in this Standard.

2.12 The as-built drawings shall include a Location Plan to a suitable scale and an Index of all as-built

drawings contained in the set.

2.13 Apart from Location Plans, or where particular requirements in this Standard differ (see Chapter 3),

the maximum permitted plan scale for all as-built drawings shall be 1:2,500.

2.14 All as-built drawings shall provide location references to the Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) system

with vertical elevations referencing the ITM Datum. Reference to localised co-ordinate systems or

chainages shall not be permitted.

2.15 Hardcopies of as-built drawings shall be prepared at A1 paper size. Additional hardcopies at reduced

paper sizes may be prepared, if so required in the Contract.

2.16 Digital as-built drawings shall be prepared using CAD type software. Linear plan records (e.g.

carriageway drains, pavements, fencing) shall be represented as three dimensional line strings in a

CAD file format.

2.17 The line strings shall be represented on separate layers for ease of extraction into other systems.

2.18 Each CAD layer shall be assigned a unique name, line type and colour. The table in Appendix B

includes a non-exhaustive list of typical road features and associated CAD characteristics that shall be

used as a minimum in the production of the as-built drawings. At the outset of the preparation of the

as-built drawings, a full list of layers, names, line types and colours shall be prepared (including those

listed in Appendix B as a minimum) and agreed with the Employer. It is this scheme-specific list of

features that shall be used in the production of the as-built drawings.

2.19 All as-built drawings shall be fully consistent with the as-built topographical survey undertaken as part

of the scheme.

Additional As-Built Material

2.20 Additional as-built material shall be provided by the ABR Producer, in accordance with the

requirements set out in this Standard. The additional as-built material required is outlined in Chapter 3,

and is intended to capture all pertinent material required to complete the As-Built Records, including

anything which is not already contained within the documents and drawings sections of this Standard.

Storage of As-Built Records

2.21 The ABR Producer shall store all As-Built Records in good condition for a period of nine years from

the handover of the scheme.



March 2013 6

2.22 The Employer may request, and the ABR Producer shall supply free of charge, a further copy of these

records to the Employer, at the end of the said nine year period referred to above, and may thereafter

destroy, or dispense with, such records.

3. AS-BUILT RECORDS – PARTICULAR

REQUIREMENTS

General

3.1 This Chapter sets out the particular requirements of the As-Built Records.

3.2 Where the road scheme involves alterations, or additions, to roads or other features outside the extent

of the site, the As-Built Records pertaining to such shall be in a separate file or separately identified so

that the relevant information can be passed to the "'owner" of the road or feature (this shall also

include Accommodation Works undertaken other than on private domestic properties). In such cases,

it shall not be acceptable to cross-refer to other As-Built Records and the file, or part, shall be a stand-

alone document. This shall be particularly so for Structures where information shall be provided for

all structures in accordance with NRA BD 2.

3.3 This Standard applies to all road scheme infrastructure such as bridges, culverts of diameter greater

than 2.0m, retaining walls greater than 1.5m retained height, sign gantries extending over the

trafficable area (including hard shoulder), environmental noise barriers, high mast lighting columns,

and the like.

As-Built Topographic Surveys

3.4 As-built topographical surveys shall be provided, at 1:500 scale, of all works undertaken on the

scheme which are accessible for survey on completion of the works, including as a minimum the full

extent of the site, any tie-in or modification works to adjacent schemes, and all areas outside the site

where work has been undertaken as part of the scheme.

3.5 As-built topographic surveys shall include all features required to be shown as As-Built Records under

the scope of this standard, and outlined in section 1.8 above. Specific feature information shall be

annotated and layered as per section 2.18 of this Standard.

3.6 The maximum error between permanent survey control stations shall not exceed 1 in 40,000. For

distances between adjacent permanent survey control stations of less than 300 metres, the maximum

error should not be greater than ±5mm.

3.7 The height difference between any two points used as permanent ground markers or permanent bench

marks shall not be in error by more than ±(10k) mm, where k is the distance in kilometres between the

two points being considered, or ±5mm, whichever is the greater.

3.8 The accuracy of features shall be defined in terms of tolerance values and recorded points. The

tolerance values stated in Table 1 in section 3.10, and in Table 2 in section 3.15, are root mean square

(r.m.s.) values and the following conditions shall be satisfied:

i) At least 67% of all readings must be correct to or better than the root mean square

error (r.m.s.e.)

ii) At least 90% of all readings must be correct to or better than 1.65 times the r.m.s.e

iii) All readings must be correct to or better than 3 times the r.m.s.e

3.9 All readings not complying with the 3 conditions in section 3.8, including consequential errors, shall

be corrected.

represented on the plans. Ground survey spot levels on hard surfaces shall be correct to ±10mm

r.m.s.e. and elsewhere to ±50mm r.m.s.e. when checked against the nearest survey control point.

3.12 Contours shall be shown at vertical intervals of 1 metre with major contours every 5 metres. At least

90% of all contours shall be correct to within one half of the specified contour interval. Any contour

which can be brought within this vertical tolerance by moving its plotted position in any direction by

an amount equal to 1/10th of the horizontal distance between contours, or 0.5mm at plan scale,

whichever is the greater, shall be considered as correct. Contours that cannot be surveyed to the

specified accuracy without extensive clearing shall be;

(a) surveyed approximately and annotated accordingly, or

(b) cleared to enable a survey to the specified accuracy to be undertaken

3.13 In flat areas where the horizontal distance between contours generally exceeds 50mm at plan scale,

supplementary spot levels shall be surveyed at intervals not exceeding 50mm at plan scale, parallel to

the contours.

3.14 The ground surface over the required area shall be simulated by 3-dimensional strings of co-ordinated

information along characteristic lines in the terrain, together with point features. Features recorded

shall be those specified.

3.15 The spacing of points along 3-dimensional feature strings shall be such that the vertical and horizontal

distances between the straight line joining adjacent points on the string and any point along the actual

ground feature shall not exceed the r.m.s tolerances specified in Table 2 below.

Section of the Works, prior to the issue of a Substantial Completion Certificate. The ABR Producer

shall ensure that all modifications to the Works, carried out as part of a change order or any other

modification to the original Works, are recorded in the As-Built Records.

4.2 A full set of interim As-Built Records shall be issued to the Employer in advance of the Employer

issuing a Substantial Completion Certificate for any part of the Works.

4.3 Within eight weeks of the issue of all review comments by the Employer, or as otherwise agreed with

the Employer, the final As-Built Records for the completed Section of the Works shall be delivered to

the Employer in accordance with this Standard.

Review of As-Built Records

4.4 As a condition of the Employer issuing a Substantial Completion Certificate, or as otherwise agreed in

writing with the Employer, the ABR Producer shall deliver interim As-Built Records for each part of

the Works to the Employer for review.

4.5 As part of this review, the Employer shall have the opportunity to comment on the compliance of the

interim As-Built Records with all relevant requirements, including this Standard.

4.6 Where As-Built Records are delivered in a single submission, the Employer shall confirm to the ABR

Producer all comments or otherwise on the interim As-Built Records within a period of eight weeks

from receipt.

4.7 Where As-Built Records are delivered in batches, comments on all inter-dependant parts of the

submission may be delayed in line with the review period for the latest relevant package. This shall be

at the Employer’s discretion and shall be confirmed to the ABR Producer at the time of commenting

on each batch of interim As-Built Records, as necessary.

4.8 The ABR Producer shall ensure that all comments raised or clarifications sought by the Employer on

the interim As-Built Records are addressed as part of the review process, prior to the issue of the final

As-Built Records. The ABR Producer shall confirm its response to each of the Employer comments

and clarifications sought in an appropriate form, as part of the delivery of revised interim As-Built

Records to the Employer.
