Piping Design & Drafting for Process & Plant Industries
From conceptual layouts to fabrication-ready isometrics — we deliver code-compliant piping engineering for oil & gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and power plants. Built to ASME, ANSI, and ISO standards. Whether you're scaling a greenfield refinery, retrofitting an existing plant, or digitizing legacy drawings, we translate complex process requirements into precise, constructible documentation your fabrication and construction teams can execute the first time — including P&IDs, PFDs, 3D plant modeling, pipe stress analysis, and material take-offs.
Piping Design & Drafting Services
Complete piping engineering capabilities — from process diagrams and 3D modeling to stress analysis, fabrication isometrics, and as-built documentation.
P&ID & PFD development
Process flow diagrams and piping & instrumentation diagrams that capture process logic, instrumentation, control philosophy, and safety interlocks.
3D piping modeling
Intelligent 3D models in AutoCAD Plant 3D, PDMS, and SP3D — clash-detected, walkthrough-ready, before a single pipe is welded onsite.
Piping isometric drawings
Fabrication-ready isometrics with spool numbers, weld locations, dimensions, flow direction, material specs, and full Bill of Materials.
Pipe stress & flexibility analysis
CAESAR II and CAEPIPE analysis for thermal expansion, pressure, vibration, seismic loads, and equipment nozzle limits.
Pipe support design
Custom-engineered primary, secondary, spring hangers, guides, and anchors — designed in 2D and 3D as per ASME B31.3 and MSS-SP-58.
GA & layout drawings
General arrangement drawings showing strategic placement of equipment, piping, and structural elements — coordinated across all disciplines.
Material take-off & BOM
Accurate quantity take-offs and Bills of Materials extracted directly from 3D models — eliminating procurement shortages and over-ordering.
As-built & legacy conversion
Conversion of paper drawings, scanned PDFs, and 2D legacy files into intelligent CAD/3D — preserving historical assets for brownfield projects.
Plot plans & equipment layouts
Strategic equipment placement optimized for process flow, safety clearances, maintenance access, and future expansion of the plant.
Project delivery, phase by phase.
No guesswork. Every project follows the same disciplined workflow so your team always knows what's done, what's next, and what they're approving.
Requirement & P&ID review
We start with your P&IDs, plot plans, equipment data, and applicable codes
3D modeling & clash detection
Intelligent 3D models built to your project spec, with multi-discipline clash detection and design
Isometrics & fabrication handoff
Auto-generated isometrics, GA drawings, MTOs, and BOMs

Isometrics & fabrication handoff
Auto-generated isometrics, GA drawings, MTOs, and BOMs
Service models that fit your project.
Pick the engagement shape that matches your scope — five proven setups for one-off drawings, full plant projects, and long-term retainers.
Single-line piping engineering
Drop us a P&ID, isometric, or layout — get clean drawings back. Best for one-off changes, line modifications, and plant retrofits.
Full plant piping package
End-to-end piping deliverables — P&IDs, 3D model, stress analysis, isometrics, BOMs — for greenfield refineries, chemical plants, and process units.
On-site survey & as-built
Our engineers come to your facility for laser scanning, point-cloud processing, and as-built drawing recreation — ideal for brownfield projects.
Piping engineering retainer
Dedicated capacity for ongoing programs — sustainment, debottlenecking, MOC support, or competitor monitoring across multiple plants.
Pipe stress & analysis only
Hand off your existing model — we'll run CAESAR II analysis, recommend supports, and deliver a signed-off stress report for critical lines.
Flexible engagement
Project-based, dedicated teams, or fully managed — pick what works for your timeline, budget, and IP sensitivity.
Project-based
Fixed scope, fixed price. Best for discrete piping projects with clear specifications and timelines.
Dedicated team
A dedicated piping designer or drafter exclusively assigned to your pipeline of projects.
Managed service
We handle scoping, modeling, drafting, and QC — you review and approve. End-to-end ownership of deliverables.
Our proven end-to-end approach
01
Discovery & scope alignment
We review your P&IDs, plot plans, equipment data sheets, and applicable codes (ASME B31.3, API, etc.) to lock in scope, deliverables, and timeline.
02
Conceptual layout & routing
Initial routing, equipment placement, and preliminary 2D layouts for early-stage approval — minimizing rework before 3D modeling kicks off.
03
Detailed 3D modeling
Intelligent 3D model development with full pipe spec compliance, multi-discipline clash detection, and milestone-based design reviews.
04
Stress analysis & optimization
Critical line analysis in CAESAR II, support optimization, and design refinement for thermal, seismic, and operational reliability.
05
Drawing extraction & QA handoff
Auto-generated isometrics, GA drawings, MTOs, and BOMs — multi-stage QC checks, full revision history, and final fabrication-ready handoff.
What Our Clients Say
“We rolled out a unified analytics platform in under six months. Production planners finally see the same numbers as finance, and weekly review meetings are half as long.”
Marcus Chen
Director of Operations, Precision Components Inc.
“The machine learning models DevWorks built for us cut unplanned downtime on two critical lines. The team delivered clear documentation and stayed involved through the first production release.”
Elena Vasquez
VP of Manufacturing Technology, Norwood Industrial Group
“They helped us move off spreadsheets without breaking existing workflows. Our engineers adopted the dashboards faster than any prior IT project we have run.”
Robert Fairchild
Chief Data Officer, Meridian Process Systems
“Predictive maintenance alerts now reach supervisors before equipment fails. We avoided three major stoppages in the first quarter after go live.”
Sandra Okonkwo
Plant Manager, Lakeside Fabrication
“The data pipeline work was thorough and practical. We get near real time visibility into inventory and supplier performance without adding manual reporting steps.”
Daniel Harper
IT Director, Apex Motors Supply
