3D modelling of process and piping installations
Process pipework, utilities, supports and relevant structural elements modelled with attention to slope, drainage, cleanability and service access.
Industry solution
Design support for pharmaceutical production facilities
3D modelling, BIM coordination and production documentation for process and piping installations. On a single work package or across the full project.
Pharmaceutical production facilities place sharp demands on installation density, cleanability and documentation. Pipework has to be cleanable, serviceable and traceable, and the interfaces between process, services and building are tight from the outset.
Stelar works on building services and process installations in pharmaceutical production facilities in Denmark. We know what process pipework, prefabrication and handover documentation require in this sector, and we step in where the need is greatest.
We can take on a defined work package, for example detailed design and spool breakdown of a process piping system, or combine several disciplines around one deliverable from early design through to as-built. The scope follows how the project is organised.
How Stelar contributes
BIM coordination and model checking
Clash detection across process, services and structure, including penetrations and interfaces towards cleanrooms and plant rooms.
Material and component schedules
Quantity take-offs and structured schedules for estimating and procurement, built so material selections can be traced from model to spool.
Prefabrication documentation and weld records
Spool breakdown, isometrics, weld numbering and installation drawings ready for the workshop and the site.
Technical project management and documentation
Interface management, follow-up and a documentation set that stays with the deliverable through to handover.
Flexible involvement
Stelar can step in at a single point or stay with the deliverable throughout. The entry points below can be selected individually or combined.
Early design and model setup
Detailed design of process and piping installations
Cross-discipline coordination and model checking
Production readiness and prefabrication
Handover and as-built
Typical delivery
The sequence below describes a typical technical delivery for process and piping installations and is not tied to a specific project.
01
Project basis and model setup
Review of P&IDs, line lists and discipline models. Agreement on level of detail, system breakdown, naming and material specifications. Setup of model structure, pipe catalogues and templates.
02
3D design and cross-discipline coordination
Modelling of process pipework and utilities with slope and drainage where the system requires it, and with room for cleaning, operation and service. Coordination of penetrations and interfaces towards cleanrooms, plant rooms and structure. Continuous clash checking against other disciplines.
03
Prefabrication and production documentation
Spool breakdown accounting for transport, installation sequence and access routes. Isometrics with weld numbering, material and component schedules, so it is unambiguous what is to be procured, welded in the workshop and assembled on site.
04
Installation support and as-built
Resolving queries during installation, incorporating changes and updating the model and drawings so the documentation reflects the installed plant at handover.
Results
- Space conflicts resolved in the model rather than during installation in a densely serviced environment
- A clear material and procurement basis, traceable from model to spool
- Documentation that builds up alongside the delivery rather than afterwards
