The Development Engineering Department has completed a review of the City's Engineering Design Criteria and Standard Drawings and will be releasing the new document over the coming months in sections. Each updated section will become effective upon release. Please be advised that the March 2004 document is still in effect if the updated section is not yet available.

The updated Engineering Design Criteria and Standard Drawing is intended to provide guidance to consulting engineers that are engaged in the design and construction of municipal services, new developments and infrastructure projects in the City of Vaughan. This Engineering Design Criteria is meant to be read in conjunction with City of Vaughan Standard Drawings, and with other related documents such as Ontario Provincial Standards.

Changes and revisions will be made to the Engineering Design Criteria and Standard Drawing from time to time and it is the responsibility of the Developer or Consulting Engineer to obtain and make use of the latest version of the document or section available at the time of servicing design.

Users will have to register a vaughan.ca profile and subscribe to the "Design Criteria & Standard Drawings Update" alerts to receive document update notifications. This webpage will be updated periodically to reflect revised documents. Please check back here for updates.
