Project & Working Documentation Development
Full-cycle PD and RD development for energy facilities with steam turbines: from initial data collection and engineering surveys to state expertise and detailed construction drawings.
When PD/RD is required and what tasks the service covers
Project documentation (PD) and working documentation (RD) are mandatory stages of any energy project. PD justifies technical decisions and undergoes state expertise; RD contains detailed drawings and specifications for construction and installation works.
Project documentation is required to obtain a construction permit for capital construction projects. For energy facilities — TPPs, CHPs, boiler houses, turbine units — PD must undergo mandatory state expertise, as such facilities are classified as particularly hazardous and technically complex under Article 48.1 of the Russian Town Planning Code.
Working documentation is developed for direct execution of construction and installation works. Unlike PD, RD is not subject to expertise but contains detailed drawings, installation diagrams, and equipment specifications with accuracy sufficient for on-site work.
PD and RD can be developed sequentially (RD after positive expertise conclusion on PD) or in parallel — when project deadlines are tight and basic technical decisions have already been approved at the OTR or feasibility study stage.
For energy facilities with steam turbines, thermal-mechanical sections, principal heat scheme calculations, selection of main and auxiliary equipment, APCS design, and electrical part with short-circuit current calculations are of particular importance.
When the service is needed
- Construction of a new TPP, CHP, energy center, or boiler house with a turbine unit.
- Reconstruction or modernization of an existing energy facility with replacement of main equipment.
- Need for state expertise and construction permit.
- Preparation of detailed drawings and specifications for contractors during construction.
Typical facilities
- Thermal power plants (TPP) and combined heat and power plants (CHP)
- Industrial energy centers with steam turbine units
- Boiler houses with turbogenerator units
- Modernization and re-equipment of energy facilities

Key differences between PD and RD
PD and RD serve different purposes, have different levels of detail, and carry different legal significance in the project implementation process.
| PD Project Documentation | RD Working Documentation | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Justification of decisions, obtaining construction permit | Direct execution of construction and installation works |
| Key question | "What are we building and why?" | "How exactly do we build it?" |
| Detail level | Sufficient for passing expertise | Maximum — down to each node and operation |
| Expertise | Mandatory state expertise | Not subject to expertise |
| Content | Schemes, calculations, justifications, safety sections | Detailed drawings, specifications, installation diagrams |
| Legal status | Required for construction permit | Basis for contractor agreement |
