A project in Texas was to be executed with zero field welds that had an aggressive installation timeline.

SHORES MDS was contacted by the installation contractor regards supporting this project.

Upon arriving onsite it was discovered the downcomers and equipment that was to be tied into although was onsite, had not been installed.

SHORES MDS surveyed the tie in and mating locations of the downcomers and equipment then surveyed the downcomers and equipment that was onsite. Using the CAD modeling package, The downcomers and equipment were modeled with the new tie point locations now known.

Piping isometrics was developed and piping fabricated. After pipe fabrication, the piping was verified before being delivered to the work site.

Piping installed with zero busts, ahead of schedule.

A new booster pump was to be added to an existing bank of pumps with a new suction and discharge header also fabricated.

The existing pumps were surveyed and the location of the new pump laid out.

Once the concrete was poured and the new pump set in place, the tie in the flange at the pump was verified.

SHORES MDS provided dimensions for the headers and the new branches to be fabricated.

The spools were fabricated and bolted together with all the valves in place.

Once this was complete a survey was carried out to ensure each tie in flange was located within acceptable dimensional tolerances and that there were no flange face or bolt hole orientation errors.

The headers were transported to the location fully assembled. During the outage, the old header was removed and the new header installed with the only tie in bolt ups.

This practice removed two full work shifts off the schedule

An offshore project that had been laser scanned had a design house produce construction isometrics based on a model developed from a point cloud.

The operator could not afford any installation errors so contacted SHORES MDS to verify the isometrics.

SHORES MDS surveyed the designed routing and a corridor around the pipe routing to check for any clashes and that to ensure dimensionally the piping could be installed free from any measurement error.

During the inspection, multiple clashes were found and it was discovered that it would have been impossible to bolt up due to various dimensional errors.

SHORES MDS verified the piping post-fabrication to remove any fabrication errors.

The piping was installed offshore with no errors free from any field welds.
