AUTOCAD LAYOUT DEVELOPMENT

PROJECT INCLUDES:

• Plant Layout Development

IMEG was hired by a bar equipment manufacturer to develop a detailed AutoCAD layout for their existing manufacturing plant and front office spaces.

THE PROBLEM

  • Current layout not up to date
  • Densely packed work areas that needed accurate representation on the layout
  • No layer management in the AutoCAD files
  • Portions of the layout imported from construction drawings
  • Difficult to confidently propose layout changes like relocation of equipment and functional areas due to lack of clarity
  • Major Utilities not represented in the drawing

THE PLAN

  • Perform detailed field measurements throughout the plant
  • Sketch and document positioning of major and lineside equipment
  • Sketch and document positioning of all material storage racks, cabinets and all storage locations
  • Sketch and document office spaces in the front office building as well as inside the manufacturing plant
  • Sketch and document major utility networks
  • Transfer all sketches and information into the AutoCAD layout

THE RESULTS

  • Delivered fully updated, accurate layout of the manufacturing plant and front office building
  • Implemented IMEG AutoCAD layering structure that increases the functionality of the layout
  • Consolidated all equipment into 3 layers
  • Consolidated all material storage and usage locations into 5 layers
  • Delivered a detailed representation of the utility network
  • Provided layer filter groups that allow for easy toggling of similar functional layers
