Model Review Objectives:

30% Model Review:


Should Include:
Location of all mechanical equipment
Maintenance reserved areas (tube bundle pulling laydown areas, access with cranes, fork-lift trucks,
hydraulic working platforms).
Critical process lines & major piping routing including control valves, relief valves & supports
Major inline instruments
Main Utility lines
Equipment Spacing Criteria.
Pipe racks, steel & concrete structures (identifying piping access requirements including stairs, ladders,
preliminary gratings & major piping supports.
Battery limit Concept (valving, spade/ spacer).
Outlining of buildings (control rooms, analyzers, switch rooms).
Defining main E&I cable routes, UG piping & trenches, roads, paving & curbed areas.
Objectives:
Agreement with client on equipment & plant layout, finalization of equipment location, dimensions &
locations of pipe racks, structures & buildings.
Release of foundation loads
Release of nozzle orientation information to vendor.
Release of main underground isometrics for fabrication.

60% Model Review:


Should Include:
Resolution of 30% model review comments.
> / = 6” piping details.
Equipment & machinery as per vendor information (including orientation of process, instrument nozzles,
platform & ladders).
Level control instruments & other instrumentation on equipment.
Process & Utility lines (= / > 3” NPS) including supports, flow measurements & main instrumentation.
Permanent cranes & hoisting beams.
Representation of major platforms for equipment & valves operations.
Electrical & Instrumentation raceway envelopes located on racks & other areas.
Location of pits & trenches.
AG major cable trays.
Remote mounted instruments.
Lighting posts.
Objectives:
Member sizing.
Release of UG Isometrics for IFC.
Release of final nozzle orientation information to vendor.

90% Model Review:


Should Include:
Resolution of 60% model review comments.
90% of all lines modeled with all supports, inline items, drains, vents; except minor small bore & utility
lines.
Location of Utility stations w/o final routing.
Availability of all minor and major steel & concrete structures.
Location of remaining safety & firefighting equipment.
Junction boxes & UG cable trays.
Objectives:
Release of UG Isometrics for IFC.
Basis of review:
Detailed agenda including time schedule, checking features (for equipment, Structural Steel and Civil,
Pipe Stress Analysis and Pipe Supports, Safety, Piping) & systems description meant for review should be
issued prior to 90% model review.
Marked-up latest P&IDs & pre-defined systems as per latest P&IDs. All lines in P&IDs should be allocated
in following different categories:
Marked-up yellow………(detailed review)
Marked-up green……….(detailed review but spot checks only)
Marked-up red…………..(no review only minor process/ utility lines)
Marked-up pink………..(no review lines within vendor supplied package unit)
CHECKLIST FOR MODEL REVIEW:
The checklist w.r.t. the following will eventually help to improve quality, identifying & eliminating
potential hazardous situations
General Safety, Operability & Maintainability.
Fire Prevention & Safety Equipment.
Piping, Valves, Heat Exchangers, Compressors, Pumps, Vessels, Columns.
Relief Systems.
Packages.
MARKED-UP P&IDs AND AGENDA FOR 30/60/90% DESIGN REVIEWS MUST BE PREPARED & SUBMITTED
BY THE DETAIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTOR TO THE CLIENT PRIOR TO 30/60/90% DESIGN REVIEW

For sure 30%,60% and 90% 3D modeling review are important, but I guess we shouldn't consider them
as P&ID review stage, in 3D model review we can change equipment location orientation by rotating,
structure , ladders, and piping, which are not related to P&ID review ,
Objectives of 30% model review
The 30% 3D model review is performed to serve the following objectives:
To fix the equipment location considering the available information.
To identify primary operational/assessable/maintenance points or platforms.
To identify improvements considering the safety and operation aspects.
To release foundation loads for structural design.
To finalize the equipment nozzle orientation and send the information to the vendor.
To finalize the main underground isometrics for fabrication.
60% Model Review:
To check if the design is at par with the safety philosophies and requirements.
To determine the location of secondary fire/safety equipment
To find out if the main equipment locations are in order and updated.
To review the location of minor equipment.
To review the secondary operability/accessibility/maintainability as required.
To review and release buried isometric for IFC.
To release the updated nozzle orientation information to the vendor.
