Challenges of a Design Project
The design model must reflect reality (what is to be built)
Document changes must be controlled
Information must be readily available to all
Changes in one document must be reflected in all documents
The pieces must fit together when fabricated
02/06/2009
9
Solutions to Design Challenges
The design model must reflect reality (What is to be built) – Design model must be dynamically linked to P&ID’s and procurement
Document changes must be controlled – Electronic approvals required for revisions
Changes in one document must be reflected in all documents – Documents, models and other engineering deliverables must be linked and “red flagged” when a change is made
Information must be readily available to all – Internet access required – Documents must be linked for quick reference
The pieces must fit together when fabricated – Design model must include everything (actual structure, pipe supports, cable trays, realistic valves and controls)

Description of IPE IPE
Industry Standard
Trained staff using a common work process
Each project organized differently
Intelligent P&IDs linked to 3-D Model, engineering deliverables and procurement & expediting databases
Separate stand alone databases and spread sheets
Automatic consistency check between P&ID, procurement and 3-D Model
Not possible
Electronic control requiring approvals for issuing revisions
Manual approvals based on signature block. Revisions can be issued without proper sign-off
Latest revision automatically available on electronic document management system
Manual checking is necessary to assure the paper document being used is latest issue. Not possible to assure destruction of all out of date documents.

Description of IPE (Continued) IPE
Industry Standard
Historical tracking of drafts and revisions
Manual tracking possible only if old copies kept and everyone manually records each change made
All changes “red flagged” on all other effected documents
Not possible
All documents searchable and crossreferenced by metadata (e.g. tag number, PO, line number, etc.)
Not possible
Design done in 3-D Model. Drawings printed from 3-D Model
Model built from 2-D drawings
3-D Model includes all pipe, pipe supports, cable trays and controls
Model includes major pipe
3-D Model includes proper coping of structural joints
Structural members carried to centerline of joint
All data shared over Internet
Not possible

STATUS REPORTING
AMEC Paragon Systems Summary • Convero provides project cost, progress, time entry, and document control. • Fusion provides document management with bi-directional integration to Convero. • VPID provides intelligent P&IDs with native integration to VPE and PDMS using Model Object Manager. • VPE is the engineering database providing datasheets, major equipment list, line list, and specialty items list with native integration with VPRM. • INtools is the instrument database providing datasheets, loops, and the instrument index with custom integration to VPE for basic tag data management. • VPRM is the material management system used to create requisitions, purchase orders, material tracking and expediting with status reporting to Convero. • VPD / PDMS is the 3D design system that will be used with native integration to VPE and VPRM as noted above.

Delivering Measurable Projects Savings (Continued)
Offshore project using laser scanning integrated with PDMS design were cutting edge efforts. The following benefits were obtained :
20% reduction in spool piping field welds 0% rework of piping and structural clashes within the new installation. Project saved approximately one month of offshore hook-up time at completion 5% reduction of material waste due to lack of interferences, clashes, rerouting, etc. Reduced Engineering time by up to 10% Reduced Offshore Visits by up to 70%
