Piping Engineering

Piping engineering focuses on the design and layout of piping systems within your production environment. The goal? To ensure an efficient, safe, and flexible arrangement of your process installation. With our piping engineering services, we help you not only increase the capacity of your current production facility at lowest investment cost but also save energy and optimize the use of raw materials.

Piping engineering is an essential part of our overall service package within plant engineering. We are ready to help you optimize the challenges in your production process. Whether you are in the chemical industry, food production, pharmaceuticals, energy, oil, steel manufacturing, or paper and pulp, we have the expertise to assist you.

The Role of Piping Design Engineering

Piping design engineering involves creating piping systems that not only meet process requirements but also adhere to safety standards and spatial planning. It is a balance of various factors, ensuring efficient piping layouts that support production. When designing pipes, selecting the right materials is crucial to withstand the specific conditions within your process.

Additionally, we consider the usability and maintainability of the systems, allowing easy access to the pipes for inspections and repairs. In this way, we create a design that is not only functional but also enhances the operational efficiency of your facility.

The Benefits of Piping Engineering

  • Safety

    A safe work environment for your employees.

  • Efficiency

    Process optimization for increased productivity.

  • Proper Material Selection

    The right materials in the right quantities.

  • Accessibility

    Easy access to equipment for maintenance.

  • Maintenance

    Reduced downtime through well-thought-out designs.

Our Approach

Based on an approved process design, our piping engineers translate your requirements into the most optimal layout of the plant. This involves ensuring a logical flow of operations, making the best use of available space, and keeping future expansions in mind. Safety is our top priority; we create a work environment that protects employees while providing easy access to equipment for maintenance or emergencies.

3D Design and Modeling

A crucial part of our process is creating a 3D model of the design. We utilize the latest 3D modeling software, supported by laser scanning, to ensure an accurate design. The result? Various layout drawings for the location, plant, and departments, including related structural steel and piping designs. Additionally, we translate these drawings into technical specifications needed by your procurement teams for an efficient purchasing process.

Design Process of Piping Engineering

The design process of piping engineering consists of several carefully sequenced steps to create an efficient and safe piping system. It begins with defining the process requirements and developing process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).

These documents serve as the foundation for further development. Next, the layout of the piping is designed, taking into account the available space and the logical flow of processes. This is followed by the phase of 3D modeling, where modern software is used to create a detailed model of the piping system. This enables the early identification of potential issues.

After modeling, a stress analysis is conducted to ensure the design meets the required standards and load specifications. The process concludes with the preparation of detailed drawings and specifications. Throughout the entire design process, best practices and quality control measures are crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the piping system.
