About the role
3D Modeling & Layout Design:
Develop intelligent 3D piping models using AutoCAD Plant 3D for various mineral processing units (e.g., crushing/grinding, flotation, thickeners, tailings disposal, slurry handling, and water treatment systems).
Design equipment layouts, plot plans, and routing configurations keeping constructability, operability, and maintainability in mind.
Drawing Production:
Extract and generate accurate Piping General Arrangement (GA) drawings, sections, details, and construction-ready piping isometric drawings.
Create and maintain standard piping specifications, support standards, and component catalogs within Plant 3D.
Inter-Disciplinary Coordination:
Interpret Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and translate them accurately into physical piping layouts.
Coordinate closely with structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical teams to ensure clash-free designs using Navisworks or Plant 3D clash detection tools.
Coordinate with pipe stress engineers to integrate anchor, guide, and spring support requirements into the layout.
Material Take-Offs (MTO) & Procurement Support:
Extract reliable material take-offs (MTOs) for pipes, fittings, valves, and supports directly from the Plant 3D model for procurement and estimation purposes.
Quality & Compliance:
Ensure all designs adhere to relevant international codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.1 / B31.3) as well as client-specific engineering standards.
Participate in model review meetings (30%, 60%, 90% model reviews) and resolve audit comments systematically.
