Five pipe runs were designed for a new steeping unit installed in a very crowded malt plant.
Due to outdated documentation of the aging facility, the only way to accurately account for all obstructions was to 3D scan the building.
The area for the 3D laser scan spanned 4 floors inside and outside of the plant.
The 3D point cloud was used to check for interferences with the existing equipment and piping in the plant. The piping isometric drawings were generated using AutoCAD Plant 3D. Modeling of 316L Stainless steel pipe supports was done in SolidWorks, following the client’s additional requirements.
