The shipbuilding industry plays a pivotal role in national strategic security and economic
development, and one critical challenge is the pipeline layout design problem. It …

Rigid pipeline engineering, alike most of the engineering activities, has to manage a deep
transformation in the way it is performed. This trend is seen throughout the industry. This …

Digitalisation of design processes is being rapidly accepted as a major step-change in
engineering of pipelines and components. Incremental digitalisation of best engineering …

An automatic pipe routing system is proposed and implemented. Generally, the pipe routing
design as a part of the shipbuilding process requires a considerable number of man hours …

In the ship pipeline layout at three-dimensional environment, aiming at the problems that
there are too many constraints, the engineering rules are difficult to quantify and the …

The paper presents an overview of solving pipeline technology challenges, such as
Deepwater, High Pressure/High Temperature (HP/HT), Flow Assurance, Thermal Buckle …

This paper describes a development initiative intended to reduce significantly design cost
and duration using digitalization. Subsea pipeline design, and in-place studies in particular …

In this study, we developed a method to simplify the analysis of complex Piping and
Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) on ships. By converting P&IDs into a graph format, we …

Ship Pipe Route Design (SPRD) has always been a challenging and critical aspect in the
detailed design for various types of ships. However, existing layout methods are inefficient …

The concept of the digital twin dates all the way back to the 1950's when NASA, GE and
other industrial manufacturers started creating abstract digital models of equipment to model …
