The challenge

BG Group needed the P&IDs for two North Sea oil platforms, Everest and Lomond, brought together for their Health & Safety Manual. The drawings had been produced by various companies over many years and arrived as PDFs with redline changes — with no shared standards or consistency.

Our approach

Outsource CAD worked with BG Group to produce a standards drawing template, then updated each drawing to suit, accompanied by a QC document for every sheet. The work ran entirely remotely, using six CAD technicians and a dedicated QC engineer, all fully proficient in AutoCAD to the client's requirements.

The results

  • Over 1,000 P&IDs redrawn to a single new standard for the Health & Safety Manual.
  • Backlog cleared within four months, delivered ahead of schedule.
  • Delivered 100% remotely, every drawing QC'd before issue.
