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.
