Background

• Russian oil and gas company (Operator) is executing a Plant construction mega-project

• Operator has previously created a Digital Twin at another Plant construction mega-

project using AVEVA solutions

• In order to create a similar Digital Twin at a new Plant Operator developed stringent

engineering data requirements and included them in EPC contract

• Leading Russian engineering, procurement and construction management company (EPC

Co) is participating in a new Plant construction project

• EPC Co decided to deploy EDWS based on AVEVA solutions to comply with Operator’s

contractual requirements

Focal topics

Tags and their attributes from technical

documentation, 1D, 2D and3D CAD, project execution

schedules, procurement and construction management

systems and all combinations of links between tags and

EDW Workflow


Tag import into EDWS

Tag and attributes validation

Tag creation and use

Publishing of validated tags

Handover to Operator

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5

Step 1 – Tag creation and use


Decision to use a specific pump

Creation of the pump with tag name and attributes in a P&ID master system

Selection of a tag name for the pump and capturing it in a tag list

Issuance of P&ID document with the tagged pump

1

Issuance of a data sheet for the pump with its tag name

Management of change for the pump tag attributes

Modeling of the pump in 3D model with its tag name

NOT EXHAUSTIVE

Issuance of a Purchase Order for the pump with its tag name

Tag name must be used consistently across the entire Project/Plant lifecycle

Step 2 – Tag import into EDW

AYS

• Technical documentation

management system

(TDMS)

• 3D model

• CAD systems

• Internal tag lists developed

by engineers

Step 3 – Tag and attribute validation


Need to fix mandatory attributes

• If mandatory tag

attributes are missing, the

respective tags are moved

to the «Purgatory» for

quick fixing

Ready for publishing

Need to update other attributes

• It is necessary if other

tag attributes have not

been captured in CAD

systems or technical

documentation

• Validated tags and

attributes do not require

any additional work at this

stage

There are 3 typical outcomes of automated tag validation:

Step 5 – Handover to Operator


EPC Co

• Hands over contractually

required engineering data,

technical documentation

and 3D model

• Fixes errors identified by

Operator

• Does not hand over other

engineering data created

and updated during EPC

project

Operator

• Links engineering data with

technical documentation

and 3D model

• Automatically checks

engineering data

• Will get a complete set of

validated engineering data by

the date of Plant handover to

First Results


• Project completed on budget and on schedule

• Completed first handover of engineering data to Operator using EDW

• Found and fixed errors in tag registers that were previously handed over to Operator

• Identified errors in engineering data delivered by suppliers

• Project team started to use visualization and reporting capabilities of Net Portal for

3D model progress tracking and for engineering progress reviews at team meetings

EDW deployment completed on 29-11-2019:

Lessons Learned


• Operator developed engineering data

management requirements and

procedures BEFORE signing EPC contract

• EPC Co had engineering data management

competencies prior to the beginning of

EDWS deployment

• EPC Co appointed one of directors to be in

charge of the project

• EPC Co had to put a lot of efforts into

development of internal processes and

managing resistance to change

• Globally, there is lack of skilled engineering

data management professionals. Hiring

right people with right skills takes time
