Engineering Drawings & Quality Assurance Packages
DRC digitizes engineering drawings, project binders and quality assurance packages into complete, searchable digital records for the life of a facility. Maintenance, engineering and compliance teams find the right revision for repairs, upgrades and inspections in seconds, without searching flat files and archive boxes.
Engineering Drawing Digitization for the Life of a Facility
Large-scale engineering projects need secure storage and easy access to critical backup records for construction, repairs, upgrades and inspections. DRC's engineering drawing digitization keeps project and quality assurance records complete, protected and easy to find, to meet service, efficiency and compliance requirements.
Organizations need reliable, long-term access to engineering records to support safe, timely maintenance, meet service-contract requirements, eliminate duplicate and conflicting versions, and protect critical information from degradation, mishandling or disaster throughout the life of a facility or installation.
