Project scope

The project locates a functional laboratory inside an FPSO, a floating unit used for oil production, storage and offloading. The new space is coordinated with the vessel’s existing structure, equipment, piping, access routes and technical systems.

My contribution
  • Developed the laboratory layout in Revit
  • Federated the proposed laboratory with the original vessel model
  • Reviewed structural, piping, equipment and access interfaces in Navisworks
  • Communicated coordination requirements through focused model viewpoints
THE CHALLENGE

Make technical complexity understandable.

Fit a functional laboratory into a technically dense operating vessel without conflicting with existing structure, equipment, piping or access requirements.

THE APPROACH

Coordinate information around the decision.

The proposed laboratory is developed in Revit and federated with the original FPSO model in Navisworks, allowing its position and multidisciplinary interfaces to be verified before implementation.
