Plant Modelling & As-Built Support
Keep the digital model aligned with the real plant.
Keep the digital model aligned with the real plant.
Plant modelling is most useful when geometry, equipment interfaces, piping routes, structures and supports are coordinated within one controlled project environment.
For existing facilities, Trainopedia can also support model updates based on approved as-built information, scan references or verified site changes so engineering teams can work from a more current representation of the plant.
Integrated Plant Model
Coordinate major plant disciplines within a common 3D environment.
Brownfield Readiness
Support revamp and modification planning around existing plant conditions.
As-Built Accuracy
Update project models using verified field or scan-based information.
Improved Coordination
Use review models for engineering checks, clashes, interfaces and client review.
Scope of services
Final scope depends on the software platform, project phase, client standards and available inputs.
Piping Modelling
Develop process and utility piping routes with fittings, valves, flanges and inline components.
Equipment Modelling
Model plant equipment using approved GA drawings, vendor information and project coordinates.
Structural Modelling
Support modelling of major structural steel, platforms, access framing and plant structures.
Pipe Support Modelling
Model agreed pipe supports and supporting steel based on engineering requirements.
As-Built Model Updates
Update existing project models to reflect verified field modifications and installed conditions.
Brownfield / Revamp Modelling
Support modification projects with existing-plant references, tie-ins and revised routing.
Scan / Point-Cloud Referenced Modelling
Use available point-cloud information to support existing-condition modelling and model verification.
Review Model & Coordination Support
Prepare model-review outputs and support agreed multidisciplinary coordination activities.
Project execution workflow
Each stage can be adjusted to suit the client's project controls, review cycle and software environment.
Requirement Review
Confirm plant area, disciplines, software, inputs and expected deliverables.
Input Data Review
Review P&IDs, GAs, vendor data, plot plans, scans and project standards.
Project / Area Setup
Establish modelling boundary, coordinates and required working structure.
3D Modelling
Develop piping, equipment, structure and selected plant elements.
Interface Coordination
Check tie-ins, nozzles, discipline interfaces and connection requirements.
As-Built Update
Incorporate approved site modifications or verified existing-condition information.
Clash / QA / QC Review
Review geometric conflicts and check model content against project standards.
Client Review & Handover
Issue review model, incorporate agreed revisions and deliver approved outputs.
What we typically need from the client
- P&IDs and line information
- Equipment / vendor GA drawings
- Plot plan and coordinate information
- Piping specifications and project standards
- Existing project model, where applicable
- Point-cloud / scan data, where available
- Approved redlines / as-built changes
- Structural and support information
- Required software platform and version
Exact input requirements depend on the project scope and available site or project information.
Typical project deliverables
- Intelligent 3D plant model
- Native modelling files
- As-built updated model
- Review / coordination model
- Model snapshots and review records
- Clash / coordination observations
- Isometric and drawing outputs where agreed
- Project-specific handover documentation
Final deliverables are confirmed during scope definition and aligned with the client's documentation standards.
