Streamlining P&ID Design Reviews with Revu

In this documentation, you will learn how Revu's tool chest can effectively streamline P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) design reviews for oil and gas teams. This process focuses on creating, organizing, and reusing symbology to enhance the efficiency of marking up P&IDs during design reviews, preparing line walk documentation, or standardizing safety-critical drawings. Utilizing tool sets will help reduce errors, improve consistency, and save valuable engineering time.

Step 1

Revu's tool chest serves as a central hub for P&ID symbols, saved markups, and discipline-specific tools. It eliminates the need to redraw or search for symbols across various files, providing instant access to a library of standardized tools. In this step, you will add a comment to the drawing to incorporate some valves.

Step 2

You can conveniently select a symbol from the saved valve tool set and apply it directly to your drawing. This step ensures seamless integration of existing symbols into your documentation.

Step 3

This process helps maintain alignment across engineering, inspection, and operations teams, reducing miscommunication and ensuring regulatory compliance. Revu allows you to create custom symbology swiftly by taking snapshots of existing symbols from a PDF and modifying their color to make them stand out as markups.

Step 4

In this instance, change the color of the symbol to red, name it appropriately, and save it to your tool set for future reviews. This ensures quick access and reusability of the symbol in subsequent projects.

Step 5

Instead of relying on static PDFs or manual redlining, every symbol in Revu is digital, editable, and reusable. Access the vessels tool set to select the oil-water separator symbol and place it on your drawing, eliminating the need to recreate the symbol for future projects.

Step 6

Once tool sets are standardized, they can be shared across projects or even entire organizations. This guarantees that every engineer, contractor, or field technician is using the correct approved version of your symbols, fostering uniformity. In Revu, you can quickly assemble group symbols such as valve arrays, instrument clusters, or pump sets.

Step 7

You can rapidly group a valve with its equipment tag or unique identifier and save it as a reusable markup in the tool set. Rename the grouped symbol appropriately and save it to your tool set. This practice helps teams standardize and streamline repetitive workflows, reducing design time and ensuring consistency across project documentation.

Step 8

When marking up multiple valves on a P&ID or pipeline drawing, use the sequence tool to automatically assign distinct numbers to each valve, simplifying tracking and reporting in the field. This allows you to efficiently add multiple valves to your drawing, each with a unique identifier, enhancing clarity during design reviews or inspections.

Step 9

Revu allows you to create custom line styles that incorporate embedded text and varied dash patterns, visually communicating pipe or component properties within a single markup. These custom line styles enable reviewers to instantly recognize process connections on drawings based solely on the line's appearance.

Step 10

You can package custom line styles into tool sets, ensuring that engineering, inspection, and construction teams all use the same standardized set. By standardizing these styles across all P&IDs, project teams can enhance drawing clarity, simplify compliance checks, and eliminate miscommunication during construction or maintenance.

Step 11

Leverage Revu's custom tool sets and line types to enhance efficiency, consistency, and traceability in P&ID design reviews for oil and gas teams, ultimately minimizing risk and optimizing efficiency at every stage of the design review process.
