Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)

Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) services in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. Professional process engineering solutions.

OVERVIEW

Comprehensive P&IDs that detail all piping, instrumentation, and control systems, providing accurate documentation for construction and operation throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC.

Our drawings include instrument tagging, line lists, interlocks, and shutdown logic to streamline construction and commissioning.

  • ISA-compliant symbology and tagging standards
  • Interlock matrices and cause/effect charts
  • Coordination with electrical, mechanical, and control system packages
USE CASES & APPLICATIONS

Piping and Instrumentation Diagram services support industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and process facilities throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC. We develop P&IDs for oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, pulp & paper mills, power generation facilities, process plants, utility systems, and building services. Our services are essential for facilities requiring detailed process documentation and control system design.

We support new process design projects, facility expansions, and system modifications. Our P&IDs serve as construction-ready drawings that support detailed design, procurement, and operations. Each project requires careful consideration of process requirements, safety systems, and control logic to support safe and efficient operation.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW

We begin by developing P&IDs from process flow diagrams, adding detailed piping, instrumentation, and control information. We use ISA-compliant symbology and tagging standards to support consistency and clarity. We develop interlock matrices and cause/effect charts that document safety systems and shutdown logic, supporting process safety and operational compliance.

We coordinate P&ID development with electrical, mechanical, and control system design to support seamless system integration. We develop line lists that document all piping systems with operating conditions and material specifications. We maintain revision control to support coordination so all disciplines work from current design information.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE

Our P&IDs follow ISA standards for symbology and tagging, supporting consistency and clarity. All drawings are developed to clearly communicate process design, instrumentation, and control logic. Our documentation supports construction, commissioning, and facility operations throughout British Columbia, aligned with applicable codes and industry standards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

What is the difference between a PFD and a P&ID?
Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) show major equipment and process streams at a high level, while Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) show detailed piping, all instrumentation, and control systems. P&IDs provide the detailed information needed for construction and operations, while PFDs provide process overview.
