TRV and Piping Project
The project aim is P&ID with isometric drawing & BOQ, Isometric creation followed by piping support, and as-built drawings.
First, we updated the Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) based on the provided markups for all sections of the plant.
Next, we integrated the point cloud data into the current 3D model of the plant to ensure the proper connection points for the new pipes.
Then, using the piping specifications and P&ID, we designed the pipe routes, including valves, Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), Temperature Relief Valves (TRVs), and pipe supports as needed. We checked the alignment of the new piping with the existing plant using the point cloud data to ensure accurate placement.
Custom pipe shoe supports were created for both the pipe rack and concrete ground, including anchor details.
After reviewing and confirming the model with the client, we generated piping isometrics using 3D software, along with drawings showing the locations of piping supports and the final as-built drawings.
Process Piping
ASME B31.3: This code provides requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and maintenance of process piping systems.
API 570 is a set of rules that explain how to check, fix, change, and evaluate metal pipes that are already in use in oil refineries and chemical plants.
- ASTM Standards are guidelines that might be needed based on what kind of materials are used in the pipes. For example, ASTM A106 is for carbon steel pipes, while ASTM B111 is for seamless tubes made of copper or copper alloys.
- The International Fire Code (IFC) gives guidelines on preventing fires and keeping people safe, which affects how piping systems are planned and safety measures are taken.
