Modelling & Draughting

What is Modelling & Draughting?

3D Modelling is an integral part of 3B’s work. For all new pipe work surveys a model is automatically generated on site, giving the client the assurance that no vital information has been missed. From the gathered data a full 3D CAD model can be readily produced. The benefits of an as built 3D CAD Model include:

  • instant clash checking
  • client drawings are readily updated
  • archive created for future use eliminating the need for future duplicate surveys

All the models produced are compatible with the most commonly used design software, including Microstation, AutoCAD and PDMS. As well as producing models from our survey data we also produce full Isometric piping drawings for fabrication of new spools, ensuring first time fit on all new and replacement pipework.
