Challenges of a Design Project

The design model must reflect reality (what is to be

built)

Document changes must be controlled

Changes in one document must be reflected in all

documents

Information must be readily available to all

The pieces must fit together when fabricated

02/06/2009 9

Solutions to Design Challenges

The design model must reflect reality (What is to be built)

– Design model must be dynamically linked to P&ID’s and procurement

Document changes must be controlled

– Electronic approvals required for revisions

Changes in one document must be reflected in all documents

– Documents, models and other engineering deliverables must be linked and “red flagged” when a change is made

Information must be readily available to all

– Internet access required

– Documents must be linked for quick reference

The pieces must fit together when fabricated

– Design model must include everything (actual structure, pipe supports, cable trays, realistic valves and controls)

Description of IPE

IPE Industry Standard

Trained staff using a common work

process

Each project organized differently

Intelligent P&IDs linked to 3-D Model,

engineering deliverables and

procurement & expediting databases

Separate stand alone databases and

spread sheets

Automatic consistency check between

P&ID, procurement and 3-D Model

Not possible

Electronic control requiring approvals

for issuing revisions

Manual approvals based on signature

block. Revisions can be issued without

proper sign-off

Latest revision automatically available

on electronic document management

system

Manual checking is necessary to

assure the paper document being used

is latest issue. Not possible to assure

destruction of all out of date

documents.

02/06/2009 11

Description of IPE (Continued)

IPE Industry Standard

Historical tracking of drafts and

revisions

Manual tracking possible only if old

copies kept and everyone manually

records each change made

All changes “red flagged” on all other

effected documents

Not possible

All documents searchable and cross-

referenced by metadata (e.g. tag

number, PO, line number, etc.)

Not possible

Design done in 3-D Model. Drawings

printed from 3-D Model

Model built from 2-D drawings

3-D Model includes all pipe, pipe

supports, cable trays and controls

Model includes major pipe

3-D Model includes proper coping of

structural joints

Structural members carried to

centerline of joint

All data shared over Internet Not possible

AMEC Paragon Systems Summary

• Convero provides project cost, progress, time entry, and

document control.

• Fusion provides document management with bi-directional

integration to Convero.

• VPID provides intelligent P&IDs with native integration to

VPE and PDMS using Model Object Manager.

• VPE is the engineering database providing datasheets,

major equipment list, line list, and specialty items list with

native integration with VPRM.

• INtools is the instrument database providing datasheets,

loops, and the instrument index with custom integration to

VPE for basic tag data management.

• VPRM is the material management system used to create

requisitions, purchase orders, material tracking and

expediting with status reporting to Convero.

• VPD / PDMS is the 3D design system that will be used with

native integration to VPE and VPRM as noted above.
