Inventor - Tube and Pipe

Using Autodesk Inventor’s Tube & Pipe environment, we design and develop accurate, efficient piping systems integrated directly within 3D assemblies. This allows us to model process piping, equipment connections, manifolds, and skid-mounted pipework while ensuring proper routing, clearances, and manufacturability.

Our structured engineering workflow ensures that every piping design is technically sound, coordinated with surrounding equipment, and ready for fabrication and installation by the client or their selected contractor.

Project Planning

Every successful piping system begins with a clear understanding of your equipment, process requirements, and installation environment. We work closely with you to develop practical piping layouts that meet your operational and manufacturing objectives.

We can help with:

  • Reviewing process requirements, P&IDs, and equipment layouts
  • Conducting site surveys where necessary to confirm routing constraints and installation conditions
  • Integrating existing models, plant layouts, or reference assemblies into the Inventor environment
  •  Establishing piping routes while considering space constraints, maintenance access, and installation requirements
  • Applying relevant industry standards and piping specifications

Design & Engineering

Our engineers create intelligent 3D piping systems that are accurate, coordinated, and ready for fabrication.

We can help with

  • Creating intelligent pipe routes using Inventor’s Tube & Pipe tools
  • Selecting appropriate pipe sizes, fittings, valves, and components from standard libraries
  • Ensuring correct routing, clearances, and clash-free integration with surrounding equipment
  • Optimising pipe layouts for fabrication efficiency and maintainability

Client Collaboration

We work closely with your engineering and project teams to ensure the final design meets your technical, operational, and fabrication requirements.

We can help with:

  • Reviewing pipe routing concepts with the client and engineering teams
  • Adjusting layouts based on feedback, site constraints, or process changes
  • Refining the model to achieve an approved and coordinated design

Final Deliverables

We provide clear, accurate documentation to support fabrication, assembly, and installation.

Deliverables can include:

  • Fully coordinated 3D piping models integrated with equipment and structural assemblies
  • General Arrangement (GA) drawings showing pipe routes and equipment connections
  • Detailed manufacturing drawings and component lists where required

Whether you're designing piping for process skids, packaged equipment, or bespoke mechanical assemblies, our Autodesk Inventor Tube & Pipe specialists can help deliver accurate, fabrication-ready designs.
