Case Study on Piping Instrumentation Drawing

Case Study on Piping Instrumentation Drawing

The Client Requirement

The Client

For this highly challenging project Flatworld associated with the biggest coastal refinery in the United States. The client, mainly operating from the eastern region of the US is a key player in the domain and is operating the three largest oil refineries in Northern America, thus making it a force to reckon with in the market.

Situation - Business Needs

The client wanted a faster turnover in the process of listing piping instrumentation indexes during the modification and maintenance. They also wanted to show the equipment and systems' physical sequences.

Challenges

This project required us to push our boundaries and come up with creative solutions which are technologically sound. Some of the primary hurdles faced during the tenure of the project were -

  • Designing a cost saving solution: The solution was to be engineered to list and catalogue the piping instrumentation indexes for multiple units of previous Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
  • Strict detailing: The instrumentation loop diagrams were to be designed in a particular format with minimal margin of errors
  • An end-to-end solution: The solution to be designed was to be multipronged keeping in mind all the safety features for designing P&IDs as well as ensure complete removal of errors
