Build Control Part-Fabbed Spools
Most major projects will have "Closing Spools" or "Hook-up Spools" with 3-way adjustment (green material) allowing adjustment for any misalignment. These Pipe Spools are normally Part-Fabricated in advance to save time when the Pipe Spools are required. Here at fabdc Limited, we can complete the Build Control for these Part-Fabbed Spools, accurately layout cutlines and control the assembly of the item so the completed Closing Spool can be fabricated safely, accurately & quickly, providing a quick turnaround for maximum cost savings.
Post Weld Spool Surveys/ Structure Surveys
Critical Pipe Spools or Structures that require to be fabricated to close tolerances. fabdc Limited provide an accurate Post Weld Survey service. Using Leica Total Stations which provide sub-millimetre accuracy for each laser shot, our experienced surveyors gather electronic data and will produce Red Lined Fabrication Drawings or 3D As-Built Models onsite as deliverables which will highlight the final As-Built data.
On-site Construction Assistance
fabdc Limited provide Onsite Construction Assistance. From Accurate Layouts of New Pipe Penetrations to the successful installation of Spooled Pipework, Steel Structures, Vessels & Machinery. fabdc Limited can supply experienced personnel in both Fabrication Installation and Dimensional Control Survey.
Data Extraction from Digital Twin
fabdc Limited can Extract Pipe Flange Data to provide accurate Position and any Deflections or Bolt Hole Rotations that may exist. We can conduct a full engineering Survey (just like we were on the Asset) This Data can then be incorporated into Pipe Drawings for Repair Orders, Brownfield & Greenfield works - Working from Digital Twins is a 60% cost saving to traditional Surveys conducted on the asset. Contact us for more info. To guarantee a first time fit, the fabricated pipework should always be DC surveyed and results analyzed against the latest revision of drawings. We can help with that too.
