3D Hot Clash Detection Lets take a look at how information mobility can help with finding 3D Hot Piping interferences during the design process which is much better and safer than finding problems during Plant operation. Hot Clash Detection To Avoid Costly Design Mistakes and Operation Failure Piping clashes with other pipes, structures, equipment, and/or HVAC are not uncommon and can be very costly to re-design and worse-case scenario that Plants have to be shutdown for failure investigation and repairs. Hot Clash Detection - Clashes are Everywhere... Even Under Our Cars Clashes are everywhere... Even under our Cars as can be seen with this hot exhaust pipe hitting the chassis. Hot Clash Detection Hot Clashes are typically caused by pipes heating up and moving, but large pipe movements can also easily occur with extreme loads like wind or earthquakes. Hot Clash Detection - Pipeline Explosions Do Happen and are Expensive Pipeline explosions do happen and are expensive! Like the $12billion Deep Water Horizon Offshore Oil Rig in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Case Study 1 – Hydrotreater Tank Farm AutoPIPE & Navigator 3D Hot Clash Now with AutoPIPE, you can analyze any type of loading condition applied to piping and structures. And With Bentley Navigator or OpenPlant Modeler, you can quickly evaluate accurate soft and hard clashes against Structure, Electrical, and Equipment. But the 3D Plant model may be designed in PDS or PDMS or Plant 3D or SmartPlant and can still be viewed in Bentley Navigator or MicroStation. Take a look at how hot clash detection works ( play video – 1:50 ) Case Study 2 – Hot Operation Clashes This Plant Case Study is the Samcheok Green Power Unit 1 and 2, 2000MW Supercritical Thermal Power Plant in South Korea courtesy of KEPCO Engineering & Construction Company. Case Study 2 – Hot Operation Clashes The problem is how to identify all the 3D Clashes between Piping, Steelwork, Equipment and Electrical when we have a maze of piping as shown here”. And what about when the piping moves under Temperature, Seismic or extreme loading”, The structural moves under its own seismic and live loading. “For example, How can we easily check 3500 pages of Pipestress displacement data for 241 different Loadcases and locate these movements in Plant model? And How long is that going to take? Case Study 2 – Hot Operation Clashes Running the new AutoPIPE Hot clash detection – they generated a hot deflected DGN pipestress model (Red) and referenced into the PlantSpace 3D model (yellow) … 3 critical hot clashes were quickly discovered which avoided 3 costly operational failures which they did not discover using traditional manual methods.
