Full 3D Drawing Packages for Fabricated Equipment

• Capabilities of 3D Drawing Packages

  General Arrangements (GA)

  General arrangement drawings provide a comprehensive layout of fabricated equipment:

  • Skid Layouts: Complete representation of all components on measurement, pump, and injection skids.
    
    
  • Building Layouts: Structural, insulation, and equipment placement within modular or permanent buildings.
    
    
  • Piping Integration: Detailed routing for all process and measurement piping, including flanges, valves, and instrumentation.
    
    
  • Space Planning: Accurate dimensions, clearances, and operational access points for field installation.
    
    

  GA drawings ensure that equipment layout, space utilization, and operational accessibility are fully considered during the design phase.

  Piping Details

  Detailed piping drawings in 3D provide precision and clarity for fabrication and installation:

  • Route Optimization: Piping systems designed for efficient flow and minimal interference with other equipment.
    
    
  • Integration with Skids and Meters: Orifice, ultrasonic, and Coriolis meters integrated into piping layouts for accurate measurement.
    
    
  • Connection Details: Flanges, welds, supports, and valve placement clearly identified.
    
    
  • Stress and Load Analysis: Piping routed and modeled in compliance with ASME and AGA standards to ensure durability.
    
    

  These 3D piping models reduce errors, support efficient installation, and improve operational reliability.

  Building Structural Drawings

  3D building drawings provide complete visualization and fabrication guidance for structures:

  • Steel Framing and Paneling: Detailed layouts for structural steel, ribbed panels, and insulation.
    
    
  • Insulation and Vapor Barrier Placement: Accurate representation of spray foam, fiberglass, and EZ Seal wrap materials.
    
    
  • Access Points and Doors: Clear depiction of entryways, removable roofs, drop-over sections, and maintenance access.
    
    
  • Integration with Equipment: Structural design accommodates skids, meters, analyzers, and other operational components.
    
    

  This ensures that structural integrity, functionality, and operational integration are considered from the start.

  Skid Structural Drawings

  Skid structural drawings provide a detailed blueprint for fabrication and assembly:

  • Frame Construction: Dimensions, welds, and structural supports for each skid component.
    
    
  • Mounting Points: Accurate placement for meters, analyzers, pumps, valves, and instrumentation.
    
    
  • Weight and Load Distribution: Engineered for stability and safe transport to the field.
    
    
  • Modular Design: Supports skid transport, field deployment, and integration with other systems.
    
    

  Skid drawings in 3D enhance accuracy, safety, and operational efficiency for fabrication and installation.

  Bill of Materials (BOM)

  Each 3D drawing package includes a comprehensive bill of materials:

  • Component Identification: Complete list of materials, fittings, valves, and structural elements.
    
    
  • Quantities and Specifications: Clear details to facilitate procurement and fabrication planning.
    
    
  • Material Certifications: Verification of ASTM-certified steel, alloys, and other critical components.
    
    
  • Integration Notes: References to assembly instructions, connection points, and operational considerations.
    
    

  A detailed BOM ensures accuracy, cost control, and fabrication readiness.

  2D Electrical Wiring Diagrams

  3D drawing packages also include electrical wiring diagrams for complete operational readiness:

  • Conduit and Wiring Layouts: Clear paths for electrical and control systems within skids, buildings, and instrumentation.
    
    
  • Component Placement: Integration with meters, analyzers, pumps, and control panels.
    
    
  • Operational and Safety Compliance: Diagrams designed to meet NEC, OSHA, and local electrical codes.
    
    
  • Integration with SCADA or Control Systems: Wiring diagrams support remote monitoring and automation.
    
    

  Electrical diagrams complement 3D mechanical and structural models, providing complete installation guidance.

Approval and Visualization Process

Circle B’s 3D drawing packages facilitate customer approval and design verification:

• Shared 3D Models: Stakeholders can visualize equipment in a realistic, operational context.
  
  
• Clash Detection: Early identification of potential conflicts between piping, structural, and instrumentation elements.
  
  
• Revision Tracking: Autodesk Vault ensures version control and efficient incorporation of customer feedback.
  
  
• Approval Sign-Off: Customers approve final drawings prior to fabrication, minimizing errors and reducing rework.
  
  

This process ensures accurate fabrication, reduced project risk, and operational readiness.
