Deliverable Setups
There are numerous methods for establishing an automet® deliverable depending on the circumstances of the pipe spool(s) and the surrounding environment.
Certain conditions must be noted during the site survey by the user; these include:
- the location and presence of any items that may interfere with the replacement pipework and cannot be removed
- the location of any steelwork used for support
- the offset thickness and the number of boltholes for the tie-ins
- if the tie in is open (no blind or connecting flanges)
We will look at the following deliverable setups:
- Deliverable set up - in accordance with the grid system.
- Deliverable set up - in accordance with flange alignment.
- Deliverable set up - when there is a potential clash.
Deliverable set up - in accordance with the grid system
This is frequently used when there are only tie-ins and no existing pipe route, or when there are more than one or two spools.
The user may observe the surrounding elements, such as decks and bulkheads, to create a grid. The image below shows how these are set up using the survey analysis transform function.
The orientation of the pipe spool(s) within the surrounding environment becomes part of the deliverable with this option.
You can see not only the pipe spool shape size, but also the spool installed orientation, which can be perplexing.
This may not produce the most fabrication friendly deliverable.
This form of deliverable configuration is required when establishing a completely new route that may have to follow existing steelwork.
