Generally I would, but since I know Tornado's engaging in witty and engaging banter with our OP, the implication is that the comment is directed to the OP. Thank you.

Drawing is one of the languages for engineers. Working drawings are prepared as per the calculated values based on engineering principles and standards. You can get the assistance from reputed consultants in your area to assist you for an immediate solution.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Please advise for what purpose you require the shop drawings? I suspect that they have been lost. My company can determine the rebar depth, diameter using a Ferroscan and whether there are any voids or porosity using a GPR. This info can then be used to create drawings of the Structure. Please contact me on my email andrew@macgregor.co.za if i can be of assistance. We have just completed a similiar sized project in Madagascar where the client wanted a detailed survey of his re-inforced concrete building to check that the cover was adequate to prevent corrosion and if the concrete strength was up to specification. We also recommended a detailed vibration analysis of the building to determine if there was the possibility of any structural weaknesses.

Assuming that you are working from a set of drawings prepared by a competent engineer, you required shop drawing submittal would be the reinforcement and anchors which would normally be provided by your fabricator. Your design mix for the concrete would be provided by your concrete supplier or if you have an onsite batch plant, your testing lab. If this is a monolithic pour "back off cause 'you' ain't gonna make it"

If it is a shop drawing you should not be downloading it from the web!!! The design engineer should have provided you with approprate cross-sections (if you are the design engineer and you can not generate a shop drawing QUIT NOW)
