Capturing the existing as-built situation…
 Simplified brownfield project workflow

Comply with:
Engineering design standards / Quality assurance / Industry regulations

Take snap-shot of as- Sketches are • Material take-off’s • As-built P&IDs

built situation making checked and often • Isometrics • As-built Isometrics
use of manual isometric redrawn and • GAs • As-built GAs
sketches and layouts compared with old • Welding docs • Test certificates
drawings • QA docs
•Isometrics • Erection docs
