New Pipeline Design

Overview

We were handed the task to design a brand-new pipeline, and first thing we did was whip out the laser scanner to get accurate site data in an e57 file format. From there, we imported the lot into Reverse Engineering Software to clean up and align the data for a smooth process. After everything was lined up, we extracted the dimensions using Sketch with Mesh.

The Process

With the key measurements sorted, we cracked on with designing the spool to meet strict Australian standards. We split the spool into smaller, manageable sections, so it’d be a breeze to carry and install without needing a big crew.

Once the 3D model was spot on and matched perfectly with the scanned data, we moved ahead and created the manufacturing drawings for each spool section.

Outcome

End result? A fully compliant, easy-to-handle pipeline design that’s a beauty for site installation. All designed to spec with Australian standards in mind, and with the manufacturing drawings in the bag, this job’s ready to roll!
