Planning, Design, & Modeling Services
Planning to expand existing facilities, add a new modular process unit, or install skid-mounted packaged equipment comes with unique design challenges... Meeting these challenges while providing ergonomic access for operations and equipment maintenance through the entire operating life of a project is where our designers earn their pay.
Whatever the industry, the drive for efficient use of available space and resources remains the same. Increasing capacity within the confines of an existing plot plan or modularizing a production unit to minimize onsite construction labor and reduce plant outage windows takes careful planning.
Principal Technology’s designers have decades of experience with modular fabrication and packaged equipment. While getting the design right is half of the construction battle, every project we undertake begins with the plant Operators in mind.
Our designers create detailed 3D Models that evolve throughout the life of a project—starting with space planning and the conceptual layout of major equipment through an interactive review with all of the project stakeholders.
Finally, we provide all Stakeholders access to a comprehensive Approved for Construction 3D Model that incorporates all equipment, piping, I&E, and structural components, including virtualized maintenance access and operations areas.
We actively engage the fabrication trades and construction teams to review the 3D Model to aid the build phase of our projects. We also use this valuable tool with the client’s operations team to use as a valuable training tool to prepare for their new equipment.
