Stay on schedule
Save time and money!
Submit your engineering plans electronically.

Southern California Gas Company now has an E-mail site for transferring digital data. Builders and developers are able to submit engineering plans for projects electronically, utilizing the latest technology. We translate your landbase and substructure graphic data into our CAD format using MicroStation and our custom designed software. The data is made available electronically to our planners to help expedite development of construction plans for your gas service installation.

Benefits

  • No printing or delivery
  • Faster utility design because we don't have to recreate your landbase and additionally we can reference to other features electronically.
