Types of MEP Drawings

MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing in reference to Construction Industry. It is the field of engineering that focuses on building safe, working structures for human use. The mechanical part of engineering refers to HVAC(heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems. Electrical part refers to the power supply and plumbing part focuses on water supply and drainage of wastewater. 

Construction MEP Drawings are an aid to visually communicate how something functions or is constructed. It is useful for communicating ideas in industry and engineering. In order to make these drawings understandable, a designer uses familiar symbols, units of measurement, and notation systems.

Different types of Construction MEP drawings:-

    • Penetration Drawings

Penetration Drawings are used for mechanical, electrical or plumbing items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor such as pipes, electrical conduits, electrical cables, and ducts. These items are carefully pierced into the wall or floor as they create a space between the penetrant and surroundings. These drawings provide all necessary views with proper clearance to get a comprehensible access to it on site. 

    • MEP Shop Drawing Detailing

MEP Shop Drawing Detailing is created with dimensions, elevations, and annotations. Shop drawings serve an easy way for workshop fabrication and onsite installation. These drawings are made using standard codes applicable to the project.

    • Block-out and Sleeve Drawings

Block-out drawings provide precise details on where to leave space for floor and ceiling cutouts for various MEP systems. These drawings are useful for cement and steel contractors. Sleeve drawings are used to make sure the holes left between the walls and floor are placed properly for piping and ductwork.

    • Pipe Spool Drawings

A spool is an assembly of components that are prepared in a workshop and then shipped to the installation site. A pipe spool drawing provides information required by fabrication workshop to accurately assemble the spool.

    • Coordination Drawings

The risk of interference is highest for projects having intense mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements. Coordination drawings are used to avoid physical conflicts in the layout of different types of equipment like ductwork and piping. These drawings are a prerequisite for initiating any construction work.  

    • As-Built Drawings

During a building project, it is common for changes to be made that arise on site. Thus, as-built drawings are prepared to reflect what has been actually built. Generally, a contractor will mark up the changes that are made on-site.
