The preparation Mechanical, electrical and piping (MEP) layouts for multi-storied buildings with reference to supplied scanned images.
Solution Offered
- MEP Layouts such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning) systems use ventilation air ducts installed throughout a building that supply conditioned air to a room through rectangular or round outlet vents, called "diffusers"; and ducts that remove air from return-air "grilles". We create the CAD plans to show the ducting layouts for air supply and air return.

- ASTER images were fitted on top of the existing floor plans.
- Constructed the air-ducts and pipes as per dimensions provided on the scanned images.
- Standard line-types were used to draw the HVAC and Pipelines.
- Blocks were created and used to maintain uniformity between plans.
- About 250 layers, 60 line types, different colors are used in the drawings. Attributes were tagged to different pipes separately.
- Three rounds of QC were performed to maintain the quality. 1) QC using the AutoLISP programs to find out the errors in layers and line types, 2) Matching the hardcopies of vector and scan. 3) Screen QC.
- The different drawings were merged to produce a homogenized single floor plan.
- Delivery was done in DWG after a thorough quality check in order to ensure delivery of error free deliverables.
Technology used
