Stress testing is often treated as a box-ticking exercise. But in reality, it plays a key role in delivering safe, reliable chemical plant projects.
One of the biggest challenges? Working from outdated or incomplete data that doesn’t reflect what’s actually on site.
Piping isometrics often don’t get much attention until something goes wrong.
In highly regulated industries like chemical and petrochemical processing, that documentation is critical. Without it, proving compliance, passing audits, or demonstrating that a system is safe to operate can become extremely difficult.
How Energy Price Surges Are Shaping Petrochemical Plant Engineering
Consumer 3D scanners have become increasingly capable and accessible over the past few years. As a result, many people now encounter 3D scan data long before they encounter a professional survey.
Ever wondered how to make a gingerbread house that actually stays up under the weight of all that icing and chocolate?
At O’Hare Engineering, we spend our days reverse engineering complex pipework and vessels in chemical plants across the UK.
It’s all about precision, planning, and making sure everything fits.
When you’re investing time and budget into a 3D laser scan or model of your complex chemical plant layout, it’s natural to ask the question: how accurate do we really need it to be? In practice, “perfect” accuracy is rarely achievable, and, just as importantly, it’s not always necessary.
Clashes in the night... they’re not just a Halloween thing!
We’ve all had those last-minute “how did that happen?” moments on site.
This blog breaks down how we catch clashes early using laser scanning, 3D modelling, and proper coordination.
Most people think they know BIM.
But when you scratch beneath the surface, especially in mechanical and piping design, it seems like a lot of people are still using the word without actually understanding what it means.
I’m exploring what BIM really is, why Revit doesn’t always do the job in piping design.
Designing for real-world conditions starts with understanding the site, not just the drawings.
Even with the best tools, if we don’t have the right context, things can slip through the cracks. A quick site visit or an outdated scan often isn't enough to support reliable design decisions.
When it comes to Plant 3D design, the final quality of a model isn't about the software. It’s about what you choose to put into it.
We use Autodesk Plant 3D alongside Navisworks for detailed piping layouts on complex sites like chemical plants, and over time, one thing has become clear: the accuracy and usefulness of
