My last few projects have been low budget, no survey team, minimum field support, and no one available to assist in field data gathering. Sometimes you have good drawings of the existing units, but often you need to sketch the whole thing. So, here are a few hints on setting up your sketch and establishing a baseline…

Sometimes, mostly never, things do not get installed in the field as square as they are on our models and drawings. So we either need to locate these things for future additions
The goal of all projects is to do as much welding as is possible in the controlled environment of a fabrication shop in order to minimize the costlier field welding, and while it would be nice to be able to fabricate whole piping systems and ship them to site in one piece, this is of…
What is involved when you are asked to go to the field? If you are truly a knowledgeable and experienced designer or engineer you are supposed to know the answer to that question. If you are a novice, new to the business or if you have never been to a job site you will not know. However,…
