Project Description
The upgrade and refit of Bluewater's FPSO vessel, Glas Dowr, was successfully completed in Cape Town harbour in March 2003. The modification of the Glas Dowr included installation of the compression module, process module, flare stack and stabilizer platform unit. The power generation and gas turbine plants were also upgraded. These modifications necessitated extensive changes and additions to the existing piping installation.
Solutions Technology's draughting office was commissioned by SA Five Engineering (Pty) Ltd, the main contractor, to draught 63 construction isometric drawings for the turret and deck house. The construction isometric drawings were generated by creating a detailed 3D model of the turret and the deck house piping utilising general arrangement drawings provided by the client.
Once the 3D model had been completed, Solutions Technology's draughting office utilised Bentley Systems' Isoextractor package to automatically generate the construction isometrics and material take-off schedules.
The 3D piping and Isoextractor packages were customised by the draughting office in only 6 days to incorporate project specific piping specifications of which a large number were non-schedule (calculated wall thickness) pipes and fittings.
