I am hoping that you will be able to help in some way. I have been in search of the Thermal Subject Index. This may or may not be the Title of this index (might also be called thesaurus).

5 years ago I started working at BC Hydro - Burrard Generating
Station, in Port Moody, BC Canada. This is a Thermal Generating Station for BC Hydro. When I cam to Burrard they had a small filing system in place which was set up based on the above noted index/thesaurus. However, we only have a portion of this index/thesaurus and I have been in search of the complete document. I have contact several other Hydro Electric Facilities across Canada and the Federal Energy Commission in the United State of America without any success.

The index is a breakdown of equipment for Thermal Electric Power Plants. Example:

71600 WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS
71610 Clarifying & Filtration Systems
71612 Pumps
71613 Valves

71620 DEMINERALIZED WATER SYSTEMS
71622 Pumps
71623 Valves
71614 Storage Tanks

80000 CONSTRUCTION INDIRECTS
81000 First Costs

If you recognize this Index/ thesaurus would you please let me know where/how I can obtain the full version. Please advise.

Thanking you in advance,

Yulanda Bruinink

With respect to your thesaurus, this looks more like a catalogue/product type filing system commonly used in engineering firms. ...
