Industrial Plant Design Drawings Services

Plants are messy in the real world. Pipes cross, walkways clash with cranes, and maintenance access gets forgotten unless someone draws it right. At Cad Drafter, we turn messy sketches into mapped factory layouts, equipment installation drawings, pipe isometrics, foundation details, and full 3D plant models that reflect field realities. We model ASME B31.3 for process piping, follow NFPA 30 and NFPA 70 electrical safety rules, and check OSHA clearances so drawings survive both class and construction. Deliverables of our Industrial plant CAD services include GA drawings, spool packages, BOMs, MEP coordination sheets, and BIM exports for Navisworks or Revit. Small scopes often see initial CAD or 3D drafts within one to three days. Expect fewer surprises at the yard, clearer procurement, and drawings your contractors actually build from.

Core Values Of Our Factory Layout Drawings

In designing factory layouts, we hold tight to principles of safety, flow, maintainability, and scalability. Each plan factors in material handling, egress routes, crane paths, and process sequences. We refuse to deliver cluttered drawings. That means you’ll get only clean, buildable, efficient solutions with longevity in mind.

Safety by Design

Flow-Driven Planning

Scale-Ready Infrastructure

Transparent Client Communication

Oil And Gas Facility CAD Sub Services

We go far beyond general CAD drafting in oil & gas. Our sub-services are engineered to support every phase of facility design: from layout planning to installation support and documentation. Each service includes compliance checks, client feedback loops, and shop-ready files to reduce field surprises.

Factory Layouts

Factory layouts define the backbone of an oil or gas processing facility. We plan the exact positioning of compressors, separators, pumps, and other large equipment with respect to utilities, access points, and safety zones. Space allocation, crane movement ranges, and escape routes are considered simultaneously. This helps avoid redesigns and costly relocation.

Equipment Installation Drawings

Our installation drawings describe how major assets are secured and aligned within the plant. Foundations, base plates, anchor bolts, and leveling pads are captured with engineering accuracy. They also show nozzle orientation, pipe clearance, and maintenance envelopes. By resolving clashes before construction, we help contractors install complex machinery smoothly and on schedule.

Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)

Every process line in a plant relies on reliable P&IDs. We map line numbers, valve positions, control loops, and sensors, using ISA-compliant symbols. More than a schematic, these diagrams form the logic blueprint for automation and monitoring. Engineers, operators, and safety inspectors all rely on their accuracy to manage real-time performance.

Isometric & Spool Drawings

Stress, Support & Flexibility Analysis

Temperature changes, pressure surges, vibration, and seismic activity put real strain on industrial piping systems. Our analysis identifies critical loads, calculates displacement, and locates potential overstress points. We then design supports, guides, and expansion loops to absorb movement safely. This ensures pipe longevity, reliability, and compliance with international safety standards.

Deliverables Of Our Industrial Engineering Drawings

With 25-plus years of delivering plant drawings, we produce documentation that contractors actually build from. Expect GA layouts, spool and isometric drawings, equipment foundation details, and BIM models tied to P&IDs. Every deliverable is checked against ASME, NFPA, and OSHA, where applicable, and prepared for procurement, fabrication, and site installation. Quick, precise, and field-usable.

Why Our Power Plant Design Services Are The Best

Power plants demand drawings that work in the field. We produce turbine hall layouts, HRSG modules, switchyard plans, cooling tower arrangements, and generator foundation details with more than 25 years of hands-on CAD and BIM experience. Piping is modeled to ASME B31.1, electrical layouts to NFPA 70, and grounding per IEEE 142. CFD tests cooling performance. FEA verifies foundation loads. BIM coordination, clash checks, and fabrication-ready packages keep construction moving and reduce costly site changes.

Software We Use In BIM For Industrial Design

Industrial BIM ties geometry to fabrication, piping specs, and construction sequencing. We choose platforms that handle large plant models, automate isometric outputs, run clash checks, and feed 4D schedules. That mix shortens shop cycles, reduces field rework, and creates auditable, class-ready deliverables for contractors and owners.

Autodesk Revit

Coordinated 3D modeling, MEP, and architectural integration with families

Navisworks Manage

Federated model review, clash detection, and 4D construction simulation

AVEVA E3D Design

Plant-grade piping, isometric production, and fabrication export workflows

Process to Order

Starting a plant design project with CAD Drafter is simple and transparent. Send site plans, P&IDs, equipment lists, and any constraints. We map applicable codes, propose scope and milestones, and confirm a fixed price before work begins.

Submit project data and constraints

Upload site surveys, existing CAD, P&IDs, and photos. Tell us operating conditions, materials, and target CAD formats. We perform a fast feasibility review and return a scoped proposal, timeline, and estimate within 48 hours.

Drafting, modeling, and iteration

Our engineers build 3D plant models in Plant 3D or AVEVA, route piping and place equipment. We run clash detection and stress checks. Draft files are shared for your review, then we iterate rapidly until the design meets functional and constructability goals.

Final delivery and support

On approval, we produce native CAD, IFC, and fabrication-ready isometrics plus BOMs and revision logs. Optional on-site or remote support for first-article checks, punch lists, and installation clarifications keeps construction moving without surprises.

Frequently Asked Question

What details do you usually request before starting plant layouts?

We ask for more than just a rough sketch. Process flow diagrams, existing site measurements, mechanical equipment specs, and any operational guidelines are crucial. With these, our drafts are not only precise but also aligned with industry codes.

Do your services include both 2D plans and 3D plant models?

Yes, and both have their role. 2D drawings guide shop fabrication and installation crews, while 3D plant models allow us to test equipment clearances, run clash checks, and even simulate construction staging before anything happens on-site.

Can your team handle unique industries like refineries or power plants?

Definitely, we’ve delivered layouts for chemical processing units, refinery piping networks, and thermal power plants. Our engineers reference standards like ASME B31.1, OSHA guidelines, and NFPA fire codes to ensure designs meet safety and operational requirements.

How quickly can you complete a factory equipment layout?

Timeframes vary, but standard layouts are usually completed in one working week. For urgent projects, we can scale resources, deliver interim drafts for early feedback, and finalize designs without compromising compliance or dimensional accuracy.
