Plans Reading (Las Vegas)

Posted by April (Test) Daniello on February 19th, 2025

This course is not currently scheduled.

Course fee: $50

Course Summary:

Roadway plans are developed to provide a pictorial view of the existing facilities and proposed improvements on a particular section of undeveloped land or existing roadway. They convey information relevant to the construction of the roadway, ranging from the quantities of construction materials required to the horizontal layout of the roadway.  Reading a set of plans can seem overwhelming but at the conclusion of this class every student will possess the knowledge to read a set of plans, calculate quantities, measure distances as well as many other issues related to roadway plan interpretation.   

This lively class will change the way one thinks about reading and understanding roadway construction plans.  Participants will learn the primary elements of a set of roadway plans and what each element contains.  The course will touch on the title sheet, schematic plan, utility plan, typical sections, general notes, maintenance of traffic plans, plan/profile sheets, cross sections, and miscellaneous details.   Several practical exercises provide students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of course content.  By the end of the training, participants will possess the knowledge to communicate key details about any set of roadway plans to those interested.          

Learning Objectives:

• Describe Key Components of a Set of Roadway Plans
• Identify Key Elements Found on the Title Sheet
• Describe the Elements of a Typical Section
• Demonstrate Proper Technique for Locating/Calculating Quantities
• Identify the Primary Elements of Plan and Profile (P&P) Sheets
• Identify the Different Drainage Elements on a Set of Plans
• Describe the Purpose and Elements of a Standard Specification Manual/Where to Locate
• Explain the Purpose of Standard Drawings/Where to Locate
• Demonstrate Grasp of Relationship between Plan & Profile (P&P) Sheets and Cross Section Sheets

Intended Audience:

This training is designed for those who want to learn how to read a set of plans and for personnel who are required to read and understand roadway plans, and to answer questions about specific items on a set of roadway plans whether involved in the construction and maintenance of roadways.  It is for construction workers, inspectors. , design engineers or department liaisons, and for those who just wish to know how to read plans.   Previous experience with roadway plan development is not required.
