SOLUTIONS



Axis Point Design is a "start to finish" design solutions provider. Assisting in early project
concept layouts, P&ID development and estimates, detailed design activities and following
design through construction with on-site support and drawing as-builts. Please browse our
listing of innovative services to see how Axis Point Design can help you meet your project
needs.



P&ID Development & Drafting





  • Drafting of P&IDs with a piping design review to include the following value added items.
  • Review of cGMP piping practices, (system drain-ability, dead legs, minimum distance connections. etc.)
  • Review of piping and valve specifications and piping material specification break locations.
  • Review of instrument size and connection type to process line. Review of branch take-off sequence.
  • Review of utility consolidation and isolation.
  • Review of Specialty Items.


Utility Distribution





  • Assist in developing equipment utility requirements and room criteria data sheets.
  • Develop piping transposition layouts to help create utility distribution P&ID's and pipe rack locations.
  • Create utility distribution P&ID's using piping transposition layouts for branch locations and pipe sizing.


Facility (Equipment) Layouts





  • Conceptual facility layouts to assist in space requirements and project cost estimates.
  • Updates issued thru project life as equipment vendor certified drawings become available.
  • Background reference for discipline drawings (electrical, instrumentation, etc.).
  • Documents issued for construction with a controlled location point for each piece of equipment.


Pipe Specification Review





  • Assistance in developing piping specifications or reviewing existing.
  • Piping material specifications and line classes can quickly be entered into pipe modeling software for future bill of material and fabrication isometric extraction.


Vessel Nozzle Layout





  • 3D model vessels and local piping after P&ID development to assist client and vessel vendor in locating nozzles at an optimum location.
  • Allows client an early opportunity to review piping around vessel.
  • Gives modular built skids a "head start" on piping orientation.


Module / Skid Design





  • 3D model vessels and local piping after P&ID development to assist client and vessel vendor in locating nozzles at an optimum location.
  • Allows client an early opportunity to review piping around vessel.
  • Gives modular built skids a "head start" on piping orientation.


3D Modeling & Model review





  • Contrary to "old school" belief, 3D modeling is quick and gives a more complete, clash free design.
  • A piping material database can be generated from the model. Helping in project estimates and piping contractor material purchases.
  • Construction documents, (plans, isos, and bill of materials) can quickly be generated from the model.
  • Interferences "clashes" between disciplines can be reviewed and eliminated prior to construction.
  • Client can "walk through" model and view design from all angles.
  • Expedites client design review process.
  • Internet meeting design reviews can take place from any geographic location with internet access.
  • Design review meetings can take the place of hard copy reviews.
  • Can be a useful construction tool.


Vendor Dwg Review





  • Equipment vendor submittals can quickly be reviewed against nozzle orientation layouts previously developed.
  • APD can assist client in vendor drawing review and help in developing nozzle locations.
  • Client can approve vendor drawings by reviewing early 3D model and expedite vendor delivery.


BIM / 3D MEP Coordination





  • 3rd party M.E.P. Coordination services provided.
  • Project can be virtually constructed prior to physical construction.
  • Clash checking of trade systems eliminates construction schedule delays and back charge claims.
  • Construction documents, (shop drawings), can quickly be generated from the model.
  • Construction sequencing can be more easily identified and construction progress tracked in the 3D model.


Piping Bill of Material





  • Piping bill of material can be extracted upon 3D model completion to expedite material purchase prior to orthographic and isometric drawings being completed.
  • Piping bill of material can be extracted at any point during 3D model development to help update project estimates.
  • Piping bill of material can be extracted in many software formats.


Orthographic Dwgs





  • Orthographic plans, sections and iso arrangements can quickly be cut from the 3D model.
  • Orthographic drawings are dimensioned and annotated for construction documents.
  • Level of dimensioning and annotation vary depending on project design strategy.


Piping Fabrication Isometrics





  • Piping fabrication isometrics can quickly be generated from 3D model.
  • Isometrics will match 3D model and orthographic drawings both in dimension and material.
  • Isometrics will allow piping contractor to shop fabricate spool pieces which is more more cost effective than field fabricating spool pieces.


Misc. Services





  • Staff augmentation services.
  • Multi-Discipline coordination review.
  • Assistance in project scope development and project estimates.
  • Construction on-site support.
  • System walkdown and update of drawings to as-built conditions.
  • CAD standard development and training.
