Our company, founded in 1981, maintains a highly qualified staff of engineers, pipe designers and Cad operators.  Piping Layout Consultants boasts a specialized knowledge of the applications within the chemical and petrochemical, food and beverage, paper, power and utilities, specialty resins, and pharmaceutical industries.

 

At Piping Layout, our services provide customers with many costs saving options when engineering, designing and installing industrial equipment and piping systems in industrial applications.  Our main objective is to provide the owner with quality piping plans/sections, isometrics for shop fabrication and field support to make every project come in on time and under budget. By using a pre-designed piping system, the owner will receive many advantages as opposed to field routing piping. We utilize Laser measuring equipment for obtaining field dimensions to ensure accurate field fit-up.

 

To complete these projects, we use 3d computer aided software packages that are Autodesk based.  For commercial (BIM) building projects we use AutoCAD MEP and Revit MEP.  For industrial engineering and design applications we use Coade products to produce intelligent 3D piping models and to perform stress analysis.  For project reviewing with our clients, PLC uses Autodesk Navis Works to view 3D models and GoToMeeting to facilitate on-line meetings to review design progress

 

 

Our Capabilities 

 

MEP Coordination:
Piping Layout provides MEP coordination for new construction projects, saving valuable time and money.

Computer Aided Design and Drafting:
Piping Layout currently uses Revit MEP, AutoCAD MEP 2010 and COADE® CADWorx Plant™, which is a 3-D design package that will produce Piping, Equipment, and Structures in a 3-dimensional view.  Data can be extracted from the 3-D model such as bill of materials and automatic isometrics.

Piping & Instrument Diagrams:
Piping Layout uses COADE® P&ID professional to create intelligent P&ID’s.  With many years of engineering/design experience, PLC has the ability to assist engineers and project managers in the creation of conceptual and construction P&ID’s.

Equipment Layouts:
Equipment layouts are provided to indicate locations of all equipment.  This information is created in the 3-D model to check for interferences.

Orthographic Drawings:
All piping systems are modeled 3-dimensionally. Plan & Section drawings are extracted from the model to assist the piping contractor during installation of the piping system.

Shop Isometric Drawings:
Isometric drawings are extracted automatically from the 3-D model saving valuable time. Isometrics are provided with a bill of materials for the pre-fabrication of the piping system.

Pipe Support Drawings:
Individual pipe support details are provided for each pipeline. Pre-fabricated pipe supports save valuable field installation time and money.

Cost Estimating:
With many years of piping design experience, Piping Layout can provide accurate cost estimates for design and assist clients in obtaining estimates for fabrication and installation.

Material Take-offs:
A bulk Bill of Material can be extracted from the 3-D piping model for the procurement of piping materials.

On-site Measurements:
Making sure that all measurements are accurate is the first step to a successfully designed project.  Piping Layout utilizes precision laser equipment to obtain accurate field measurements to ensure a high percentage fit-up
