WHATEVER THE SCALE. START WITH TPD.WHAT YOU GAIN BY HIRING TPD
FROM EXISTING REALITY
TO BUILDABLE DESIGN.
Access specialist piping capability from the first technical discussion through site capture, 3D development and coordinated design deliverables — with decisions made around the environment that actually exists.
OUR PROCESS
ONE ROUTE FROM
PROBLEM TO PACKAGE.
DISCUSS
Requirements, constraints, scope and deliverables.
SURVEY
Understand the physical environment and interfaces.
CAPTURE
Reality capture establishes an accurate digital reference.
MODEL
Develop existing and proposed arrangements in 3D.
ENGINEER
Routing, access, supports, interfaces and constructability.
DELIVER
Coordinated information prepared for project delivery.

YOUR CAPABILITY.
Tap a capability to see what TPD can bring into your project.
01Piping Design & Engineering+
Practical piping routing and design development around project requirements, interfaces, access and the real installation environment.
02Retrofit & Brownfield Design+
Modification of existing systems and facilities where legacy equipment, restricted space and existing interfaces shape the solution.
03Laser Scanning & Reality Capture+
Accurate capture of existing environments to establish a reliable spatial reference for retrofit and brownfield design.
04Point Cloud to 3D+
Development of existing-condition and proposed 3D arrangements using point-cloud information as the design reference.
05Equipment Integration+
Integration of new or replacement equipment into existing environments, considering connection points, access, interfaces and routing.
06Constructability & Design Review+
Technical review focused on whether the proposed arrangement can be practically fabricated, installed, accessed and maintained.
07Isometrics & 2D Deliverables+
Production and development of coordinated piping isometrics, arrangement information and installation-focused drawing deliverables.
08Pipe Support Design+
Development and coordination of practical pipe support arrangements appropriate to the project environment and routing.
09BOM / Material Information+
Structured material and component information produced alongside agreed piping design deliverables.
10Weight & COG Information+
Weight and centre-of-gravity information prepared where required as part of the project design package.
11Technical Engineering Support+
Flexible piping-focused technical support for project teams that need additional specialist resource, checking or problem solving.
RETROFIT & BROWNFIELD
DESIGNING AROUND
WHAT'S ALREADY THERE.
Existing plants, vessels and facilities bring real constraints: access, interfaces, clashes, legacy information and installation limitations. TPD develops solutions around the environment that actually exists.
REAL ENVIRONMENT. REAL CONSTRAINTS. PRACTICAL DESIGN.WORK PACKAGES
SEND THE SCOPE.
TPD DELIVERS THE PACKAGE.
Your project. Your standards. Your Piping Department. Defined packages can be delivered as an extension of your existing team without the need to expand permanent resource.
Send the scope.
Provide the agreed scope, standards, available project information and required outputs.
TPD undertakes the work.
Your defined piping design, modelling, drawing or technical package is progressed against the agreed requirements.
Receive the package.
Coordinated deliverables return into your project team ready for the next stage of project delivery.
