In the ever-evolving world of construction and fabrication, staying ahead of the curve is critical. Two key technological advancements are reshaping how we approach design, planning, and execution: Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). 

What is BIM and VDC? BIM - Building Information Modeling; VDC - Virtual Design and Construction. While both BIM and VDC are often used together and sometimes interchangeable, they are different in how they’re used. BIM is the tool and VDC is the strategy that uses BIM to optimize construction projects and improve collaboration. 

Imagine a world where piping systems arrive at your site ready to be installed, like a giant, pre-assembled puzzle, with no complicated onsite construction or hidden delays. That's the power of modular piping: speed, efficiency and flexibility.

A modular piping system is a pre-fabricated piping solution where pipes, valves, connectors, and other components are designed, manufactured, and assembled in standardized units or modules off-site. These modules are then transported to the installation site, where they can be easily connected to create a fully functional piping system.

As we approach the year’s end, winter shutdowns are a reality for many manufacturing plants. This is not only a time for workers to recharge, it’s also an opportunity to ensure equipment is in proper working order. Here's a comprehensive checklist for predictive maintenance for industrial process equipment

The best action plan is always the one that’s ready to go at a moment’s notice, so here’s an example of a predictive maintenance action plan for pumps as a frame of reference.
