Technical references and project documents

Use the drawing guide for measurement references and available illustrations, the materials reference for coating scope, and the evidence guide when reviewing reports. Downloadable procurement worksheets help organise a defined order.

Examples explain a method; they are not product specifications, quoted prices or approved engineering designs. Where a project requires a particular configuration or assessment, keep its accepted documents with the purchasing and installation records.
