Where Do I Find Stuff?
Table of contents
We keep most of our work in two separate places: Dropbox and ProjectWise Explorer.
ProjectWise
S&C uses ProjectWise as our server for ITD work. ITD grants each employee access to ITD projects that we are working on. Each prime and sub consulting firm works off ProjectWise to store and open CAD files. Generally, the only files S&C stores on ProjectWise is our CAD files. All our other documents live in Dropbox.
Dropbox
We use Dropbox as our internal storage server. If you don’t already have access, reach out to your supervisor to get in. All of S&C’s internal documents are stored here. We generally don’t store any CAD files in Dropbox; however, we do store plan sheet PDF prints in Dropbox.
Navigating Dropbox
After you download Dropbox, you’ll need to request access to your project folders and our shared resource folders. Project folders generally all have the same sub-folder structure and are named PROJECT NUMBER PROJECT NAME. For example, 21-1092 SH-16 Phase 3 or 22-1069 I-90 Spokane to US 95. All project folders are copied from the PROJECT FILE (copy for each project) master file, also located in Dropbox.
The Engineering Reference Docs folder includes a number of helpful reference materials.
For S&C-specific reference materials, check out Engineering Reference Docs > Project Forms and Check Lists > S&C forms. This file includes a number of templates, including S&C’s letterhead and style guide.
In Engineering Reference Docs > S&C Knowledge Library, you’ll find Word doc copies of much of the content on this site. However, in the Templates folder, you’ll find a few backup templates for our projects (for example, the SWPPP Quantities Excel template).
