of 3D CAD Systems IMS - IMS-03-01-01-TG-05

1.1 Brief Project Description


The Qatar Shell GTL Limited (QSGTL), Pearl Project is a grass-roots development of a
Gas to Liquids (GTL) Facility located at Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC), on the North-
East Coast of Qatar. The facility comprises 2 x 70,000 bpd GTL trains producing clean
hydrocarbon products, e.g., Light Detergent Feedstock (LDF), Liquid Petroleum Gas
(LPG) Naphtha, Gas oil, Lube Base Oils for export. The plant is planned to be ready for
a phased start up in 2010 and 2011.
The tankage portion of the Project comprises two tank farm complexes one located on-
site and one offsite at the harbour area facility. The tank farm complex at each location
consists of the following:
Onsite: Thirty-two (32) Storage Tanks plus associated Pumping Equipment,
Piping Instrument, Electrical and Civil Engineering works including a Field
Auxiliary Room (FAR) and an Electrical Substation.
Offsite: Six (6) Storage Tanks plus associated Pumping Equipment, Piping
Instrument, Electrical and Civil Engineering works including a Field

3.6 Scratch Sites and Zones


Scratch Sites and Zones are temporary areas for offline study work and database
information shall be archived via DB Listings, then removed (or deleted) so as to not
impact the Review updates or Online Autoclashing. Purpose and :dcode attributes will
be left unset so as to not impact on downstream activities such as Progress monitoring
and Design Model Reviews. These items will not have the :Revcol uda set.

4. PIPING
The Layout and Piping Group are responsible for the generation of the Piping Model,
also the overall space management of the PDMS 3D CAD Model. All Pipework shall be
modelled using the graphical user interface called from the Piping Bar Menu. In-
particular all Sites Zones and Pipes must be created using the appropriate forms and
menus in order to set the correct attributes for Names, MTO and Isometric information.
There will be one PDMS Pipe per Isometric, therefore, Isodraft will not split isometrics
automatically and split ATTAS must NOT be used.
A utility exists in the Piping application Utilities>Split an Existing Pipe to aid the
breakdown of Isometrics.

4.1 Piping Zone Names


Pipework will be modelled in Zones named the same as the Site name with a suffix of
the service identifier e.g. /101-PIPE-OD , /201-PIPE-0P, /201-PIPE-0P-TRIM
Service identifiers will be in accordance with the PEFS Legend drawings 153130-000-
PR-W47-0024-03 (T-4.154.257) for RFSU1 and T-13.370.002 for RFSU2, 3 & 4.

4.2 Pipe Names


To ensure consistency and accuracy for the material transfer to VPRM the
Create>Pipe form must be used at all times. To change the name of existing Pipes the
Modify>Name>Whole form must be used.
Pipe names on the PEFS will be in-accordance with the Project Numbering Procedure.

8.2 Clash Check of the PDMS model

8.2.1 Responsibilities
The Layout and Piping Group have overall responsibility for the Space management of
the PDMS Model
It is the PDMS CAD Coordinators responsibility to set-up and maintain the Formal
Clash Management Database (VPD Clash Manager). The database shall be updated
at regular intervals and in accordance with project milestones.
To ensure that all clashes are detected and rectified as early in the design process as
possible, Clash checking must be considered as an ongoing part of the design process.
Typically Online Clash checks should be run individually on significant Elements of the
Model when ever they have been modelled, modified or moved i.e. Equipment, Pipes,
Frameworks
It is the Lead Discipline Engineers responsibility to ensure that Designers are running
Interactive Clash Checks as applicable to ensure a Clash free model. In addition, it is
the Lead Engineers responsibility to ensure that Nominated Designers/Engineers
(Clash Coordinators) clear/approve all clashes within the Formal Clash Management
Database.
Its is the Designers responsibility to Run Clash checks regularly using the On-line
Clash functionality within the Design Model.
In addition, Lead Engineers shall ensure that all design items forming part of an AFD or
AFC issue, such as Structural Layouts, Piping Isometrics etc. must be clash free before
the drawings are issued.
The clearance and/or approval of clashes shall be the responsibility of the offending
discipline in accordance with the matrix below:

For example a clash between Structural and Piping must be actioned by the discipline
in the box marked * in the matrix i.e. Piping.

8.2.2 Formal Clash Management


Designers shall use on-line clash management (as applicable) to ensure the model is
Clash Free.
However, should some clashes not be resolved in this way they will be detected in the
Formal Clash Runs, in the Clash Management Database.
The Clash Manager is called from inside PDMS via the menu below:
Utilities>Clash Manager Start Up
Clashes identified within Clash Manager will be resolved by the relevant discipline in
accordance with the matrix above. Clashes that are difficult to resolve and that need
more work in the model must be flagged as ‘PENDING’ with a relevant comment until a
solution is identified/actioned. Clashes that will be solved by further development of the
Model i.e. Floor penetrations etc. must be flagged ‘CONDITIONAL’ with an appropriate
comment. Clashes that are acceptable from a design or modelling perspective such as
Soft – Soft clashes can be ‘APPROVED’ with an appropriate comment.
It should be noted that the Username and Date is recorded when any Clash is flagged
APPROVED, CONDITIONAL or PENDING
The Clash management Database will be updated by the CAD Coordinator on a
daily/weekly basis.

9. DRAWING PRODUCTION

9.1 Draft
The PDMS CAD Coordinator will create one Draft Drawing Database and the
necessary Department and Registry hierarchy for every Design Database/Site.
The PDMS 3D CAD Model will be used to generate all discipline deliverable drawing
backgrounds with database generated dimensioning and labelling as appropriate.
Then, if required, export into Autocad can be carried out providing that any further
detailing does not require model input. If this is the case, Disciplines are responsible to

12.1 Applications
PDMS Utilises a suit of Integrated Multi Discipline Applications and “Add On”
Applications. (MDS, Clash Manager etc)
Any problems with the Standard/Developed Applications will be brought to the attention
of the PDMS CAD Coordinator or his deputy. On no account will Users directly contact
Software Suppliers to report problems. This is due to strict procedures that are in place
between CB&I UK Limited and Software Suppliers.
Any PDMS Interface Program / Application problems will be discussed with the PDMS
CAD Coordinator or his deputy and investigated to assess “Fit for Purpose”.
On no account will Users contact or arrange demonstration with any outside Software
Suppliers without the prior consent of the CAD Section Head.

13. JETSTREAM NAVISWORKS


This utilises a free downloadable Multi Discipline 3D CAD Model viewer which can be
used to view and move around the PDMS Model using a few easy to use commands.
This program uses a converted version of the regularly updated Aveva Review files as
indicated in Section 11.
Unlike Aveva Review this is a viewer only and no measuring or tagging facilities exist
using this program.
Please contact the PDMS CAD Coordinator to install this Software.
The files will be updated at the same time as the Aveva Review files on a weekly basis.

14. PMC DATA TRANSFER


The Pearl GTL Project requires the ability to transfer PDMS 3D CAD Model data to and
from the PMC. The Aveva Solutions Software Implant and Explant will be used to either
export PDMS 3D Model data into .dgn format files or import PDMS data from .dgn
format files using generated import macros.
Imported data will be created in individual PDMS databases for control purposes and
will be Read Only.
Exported data will be generated by the PDMS CAD Coordinator or his deputy with
guidance from the disciplines involved. Generated data will be passed to Project

The RFSU area coding system is crucial for managing the functionality of the PDMS 3D model by setting AREA CODE attributes according to specific construction areas. This ensures that the programs for the Clash manager and progress reports operate correctly, maintaining clarity and precision during construction phases. For example, the AREA CODE like 103 is specifically for the Naptha Tank Area, which aids in maintaining accurate progress tracking and clash resolution .

The RFSU1 site datum is determined using the coordinates E. 236609.6163, N. 460592.0245, and U. 1.70, which are relative to the Ras Laffan Industrial City Qatar National Grid Coordinates. This site datum is essential for ensuring all site and zone positions are accurately set, following the prescribed Y (North) and Z (Up) orientation without deviation. This uniformity in position and orientation facilitates the coordination of modeling and deliverables, as all coordinates on drawings are based on this datum in millimeters relative to PDMS WORLD Coordinates .

Maintaining discipline-specific PDMS plot files is significant for construction phases as it ensures that accurate, up-to-date information is readily accessible for every department involved in the project. This approach facilitates discipline-focused insights and allows for precise coordination on the ground, minimizing the risk of errors. The standardized storage and categorization of these plot files enhance the efficiency of information exchange and support seamless project execution, while also maintaining a comprehensive archive for future reference and compliance verification .

The PDMS 3D CAD Model is pivotal in conducting formal engineering design reviews by providing a comprehensive digital representation of the project which can be evaluated during various completion phases (30%, 60%, 90%). This process is essential for ensuring the design meets both technical specifications and project requirements. The model facilitates multi-disciplinary coordination and allows for the identification and resolution of potential design issues before they manifest physically. This prevents costly downstream errors, maintains high-quality control, and adheres to the Shell DEP 30.10.05.11-Gen guidelines .

The Purpose and :DCODE attributes serve vital roles in ensuring effective project management by categorizing each site and zone within the Shell Pearl GTL Tankage Project into specific disciplines and activities. By setting these attributes, the project can harness dynamic data management, enabling precise clash management, reporting, and drawing production processes. For instance, the Purpose attribute categorizes areas into specific functionalities like 'CIVI' for Civils or 'PIPE' for Piping, promoting streamlined coordination and clarity in project deliverables .

Site-specific drafting conventions ensure consistency and clarity across piping drawings by maintaining uniformity in symbols, scales, and annotations. This standardization enhances the readability of drawings and reduces the potential for misinterpretation or errors in construction. Furthermore, it promotes a coherent integration of designs from different project areas, facilitating smooth collaborations among varied disciplines while strictly adhering to project standards .

Clashes identified in the PDMS model are resolved through a structured process involving the Clash Manager. Each clash is evaluated by the relevant discipline and documented with a status such as ‘PENDING’ for unresolved items or ‘CONDITIONAL’ for items needing further work. This status, along with user comments, is recorded with a username and date when flagged. The Clash management database is updated regularly to reflect changes and resolutions, ensuring transparency and providing a clear record of issue resolution progress within the project framework .

The PDMS project documentation ensures accessibility and distribution by storing all drawings on a shared project drive, organized by discipline. File formats such as DXF and PDF are used, allowing easy sharing and minimizing version conflicts. The standard format and naming conventions applied to files facilitate streamlined access and uniform document retrieval across the project. This centralized system ensures that each discipline can efficiently access the necessary drawings and minimizes administrative overhead in document handling .

The creation of default sites for different areas standardizes the infrastructure for multidisciplinary drawing processes. It provides a structured base that organizes different disciplines within each area (e.g., architectural, civil, electrical). This segmentation mitigates the risk of data mismanagement and inconsistency, thereby streamlining the production and cross-reference of drawings across various engineering disciplines. This standardized site setup supports accurate and efficient drawing production and management .

AVEVA Review software plays a critical role in maintaining project transparency and collaboration by providing comprehensive access to the entire multi-discipline 3D CAD model without necessitating in-depth PDMS knowledge. This software enables project personnel to interact with and review the current model weekly, thereby fostering informed decision-making and facilitating collaborative problem-solving across different teams. It ensures everyone is aligned with the most recent design updates and project status .
