Identify and Resolve Design Issues (Clashes Between CAD Designs and Laser Scan Data)

Quantapoint reviews proposed designs with the Digitized Facility™ to identify and resolve potential design issues, reducing design time, design clashes and field welds.

Design Reviews to Ensure a Zero-Defect Design
A Zero-Defect Design™ is free of design errors, such as clashes and missed or incorrect tie-points. Quantapoint employs an experienced team of specialists to review proposed piping, supports, equipment, and structure designs against the Digitized Facility™ to help ensure they are free of issues that could cause rework. Design reviews are ideal when a project contains new or modified piping, pipe supports or structure and has a tight schedule. By identifying and resolving design issues, Quantapoint clients have been able to decrease design time by 80%, design clashes by 98% and field fit-up welds by 90%.

Clash-free Piping Installation with Piping Clash Reports
Piping Clash Reports review 2D isometrics or 3D CAD piping designs with the Digitized Facility to identify clashes and suggest resolutions, such as alternate routings or by locating likely flow line routings. This helps ensure that the piping can be installed with minimal or no clashes.

Issue-free Pipe Support Installation with Pipe Support Reports
Pipe Support Reports review pipe support designs to identify clashes, errors in placement on structural steel or other issues and suggest resolutions. This helps ensure that piping supports can be installed with minimal or no issues.

Issue-free Structural Installation with Structural Reports
Structural Reports review structural designs to identify clashes, incorrect connection assumptions or other issues and suggest resolutions. This helps to ensure that structure and connections can be installed with minimal or no issues.
