Background:
The Pump Station As-Built project involved the conversion of P&ID's from the 1970s, which were originally in the form of mechanical flowsheets. The purpose was to transform these historical documents into detailed and accurate as-built P&ID's. The objective was to facilitate a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis for the existing facility, in anticipation of future expansion.
Solution & Execution:
- Valor EPC undertook the task of converting the outdated and hand-drawn mechanical flowsheets from the 1970s into modern, digital P&ID's.
- The conversion process involved meticulous attention to detail to ensure that the as-built P&ID's accurately represented the current state of the facility.
- The primary goal was to provide a comprehensive documentation package that could support a thorough HAZOP analysis, a critical step for any facility looking to expand.
- The conversion required a combination of on-site data collection and drafting expertise to accurately recreate the facility's layout and components.
Final Results:
- The project yielded a set of detailed as-built P&ID's that provided an accurate representation of the existing facility's configuration.
- These converted P&ID's served as the foundation for a successful HAZOP study, which is pivotal for future expansion and operational enhancements.
