Shop Drawings vs General Arrangement Drawings

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS: AUTODESK REVIT, AUTODESK NAVISWORKS

PROJECT INFORMATION

Understanding the Differences.

As an engineer working in the field of steel detailing, it is essential to understand the disparities between shop drawings and general arrangement (GA) drawings. While both play significant roles in the construction process, they serve distinct purposes and provide unique information

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

General Arrangement (GA) Drawings.

In contrast, GA drawings delve even deeper into the construction process. They provide comprehensive and precise instructions for constructing each element of the steel structure.

Fabrication drawings specify exact dimensions, material specifications, welding symbols, and other necessary details required for the manufacturing process. Steel fabricators utilize GA drawings to ensure accuracy and adherence to design specifications during the production of steel components.

In summary, the key difference between shop drawings and GA drawings lies in their level of detail and purpose.

Shop Drawings (WSD)
Shop drawings, created by professionals like PMtech Engineering, serve as a guide for steel fabricators during the assembly of the structure. These drawings contain detailed information on how the steel components should be fabricated and installed.

They provide instructions related to the manufacturing process, including welding points, connection details, and specific dimensions. Shop drawings act as a bridge between the design intent and the physical realization of the structure

Shop drawings primarily focus on guiding fabricators during the assembly process, while GA drawings provide specific information needed for manufacturing each component.
Together, these drawings ensure the seamless translation of the design concept into a tangible steel design, steel detailing, reinforced concrete design and BIM modeling.

PROJECT INFORMATION

As a company specializing in BIM services, we are highly skilled in handling various tasks, including scanning to BIM for digital twins, architecture-structural, MEPS/HVAC coordination, producing shop drawings, and aligning the model to laser scans or producing as-builts.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Digital twinning and laser scanning of refurbishment and extension projects. In this case, our areas of expertise include:
– alignment to point clouds and producing as-builts,
– scan to BIM, 2D to 3D modelling,
– process automation (big data, AI),
– BIM coordination for HVAC, MEP.

The models of the industrial facilities have successfully fulfilled the client’s requirements for Level of Development 400/Level of Information 500, encompassing both geometric and operation information as specified by the shared parameters.
This has allowed us to align our outputs with their needs while strictly adhering to the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and Employer’s Information Requirements (EIR). This approach has facilitated a seamless transition from construction to operation, aided by the thorough delivery of COBie datasets that conform to BS 1192-4 standards.

3D-model “As-built” (Scan to BIM) based on cloud point data obtained by laser scanning (Leica Geosystem).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Manage point cloud data exchange, manage information quality necessary for BIM execution projects, and assure the 3d model quality by performing consistent BIM model quality checks. The finished model displays the real state of the object at the time of the survey and displays the results of the conducted engineering and geodetic surveys. A detailed executive model will be used for further operations and renovations of the industrial facility.

BIM 3D model of the Mining & Metals complex

PROJECT INFORMATION
Industrial facility. Refinery Plant
PHASE
Renovation
Detailed design stage

The objective of this project was to develop BIM and BEP strategy for successful BIM Project execution for operation and maintenance phases.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A 3D model was developed based on 2D drawings, the attributes of the 3d elements. Analysis of clashes and specifications was carried out, clashes reports were generated in order to find optimal solutions for the choice of materials, their properties, characteristics of reinforced concrete and metal structures.

In fact, the development of the BIM model “As designed” is an effective solution for translation from paper or outdated types of data, since, during the transition to a three-dimensional model, significant errors and clashes are identified and corrected. A technically correct BIM data allows you to efficiently and competently allocate the budget for the construction, re-design and operation of a building or structure.

Developing a 3D model “As-built” based on a point cloud obtained by laser scanning data (Leica P40)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3D “As-built” model was created according to laser scanning data with filling in technical and technological characteristics (attributes) up to BIM level 6D. All the main parameters were related to the classifier that was passed by the customer. File processing: automatic registration of scans, cleaning and receiving the final .rcp file.

The main task for this project was the creation of a parametric 3D model for further design of additional installations, reconstruction of the workshop’s internal systems and equipment modernization. A special feature of the work is the fact that the acquisition of a point cloud through scanning was carried out without interrupting the production process.
