I usually include in my drawings the standard used for the symbology, but right now I'm drawing the plan view of a grounding system and the symbols for underground bare wires, exothermic welds, inspection wells that I am using are taken from drawings I saw in the past from others engineers.

Exists some standard with symbols for this kind of drawing?

Here an example of what I'm talking about.

Regards.

Not really, just provide a descriptive legend with all the symbols used (Tee and X crossings, rod, pits, risers,...etc) with the conductor sizes. This should be very sufficient for construction.
 
Hello !
The yellow arrow are the down lead conductor between Equipment and grid ?

Power0020 (Electrical) do you have some example of complete legend ?

 
Thanks power0020.

To karls2: The yellow arrow indicates that a bare wire leaving the network there. Importantly, the drawing is intended to show only the underground portion of the system, so that the yellow arrow only serves to indicate the place where the cable comes to the surface, not where it goes.
