Piping Design and Layout
System Routing: Developing the physical path of pipes to ensure efficiency, safety, and accessibility for maintenance.
3D Modelling Oversight: Utilizing software (like Autocad Plant 3D, E3D, S3D, 30%, 60% & 90% stages of model) & review the model in NWD platform.
P&ID; Interpretation: Translating Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams convert to piping Layout & isometric.
Stress Analysis and Flexibility
Thermal Expansion: Calculating how pipes will expand or contract under extreme temperatures to prevent ruptures.
Mechanical Loading: Analysing the impact of weight, internal pressure, wind, and seismic activity on the system.
Software Application: Running simulations using tools like CAESAR II to ensure the design meets safety codes (e.g., ASME B31.3).
Material Selection and Specification
Corrosion Resistance: Selecting metals or composites based on the chemical properties of the fluid being transported.
Valves and Fittings: Specifying the exact types of valves (gate, globe, ball, diaphragm, plug, check), flanges,



and gaskets required for specific pressure ratings.
Procurement Support: Reviewing technical bids from vendors to ensure equipment meets project standards.
Cross-Functional Collaboration

Specialist Piping Engineers act as a hub between several departments:
Process Engineering: To understand the flow rates and temperatures required.
Civil/Structural: To ensure the building or steel structures can support the weight of the piping.
Construction: Providing "Isometrics" (detailed 2D drawings) that indicates welders and fitters exactly how to assemble the system in office.
Deliverable Verification: Approve and check critical documents like Piping Material Specifications (PMS), Material Take-offs (MTO), P&IDs;, and Isometric drawings.
Interdisciplinary Coordination: Act as the main technical interface with other engineering groups (Civil, Electrical, Process, Civil & Structura) and external clients to r
