customised supports, brackets, clamps and Unistrut support
arrangements, based on project requirements and applicable engineering standards. - Coordinating piping layouts with structural, mechanical, electrical and other associated disciplines to ensure clash-free and constructible models. Generating fabrication isometric drawings, including dimensions, material specifications, weld information, support details and Bills of Materials (BOM).
- Reviewing fabrication isometrics, incorporating client comments and
managing revisions until final approval. Ensuring model accuracy, completeness and consistency between 3D models, P&IDs, piping specifications and fabrication drawings.
Responsibilities -
- Independently handling piping modelling activities in AutoCAD Plant 3D, from interpreting P&IDs to developing fabrication-ready 3D models.
- Understanding piping design requirements, specifications, line lists,
equipment layouts and relevant engineering documentation. - Ensuring appropriate routing, accessibility, maintainability and
constructability of piping systems.
Developing piping support models and coordinating support locations with structural arrangements. - Extracting fabrication isometrics, orthographic drawings, material take- offs (MTO) and other project deliverables.
- Managing model reviews, clash detection, design coordination and
resolution of interdisciplinary interfaces. - Incorporating internal and client review comments and maintaining proper revision control.
- Monitoring project progress, reporting deliverable status and highlighting technical issues and potential delays.
- Coordinating with the client's engineering and BIM teams to ensure
compliance with project standards and delivery schedules.
Providing technical guidance and support to junior piping modellers and engineers, wherever required.
