Dimensional control is a method, which helps experts to have accurate dimensional documentation. And industry professionals consider this documentation as a reference to a set or known benchmark.
It produces highly accurate documented facts that work to enhance the project/work. In layman’s words, it is an insurance policy, which keeps your project/work safe from unseen events in the design or construction process. Further, it lowers the downtime in the unit’s operational life.
Some of you still have queries. And why you should have dimensional control is one of them. Going through the benefits/reasons will help you comprehend it:
- Accurate fitting in the first time
When it comes to the installation of an object/part to another, people have fitting issues. They have to do rework or rectification works to make the part/object suitable for fitting on another. It means there is a need for additional rework or rectification work. On the other hand, having dimensional control or accuracy makes the part get fitted in the very first time. And there is no need for extra rework or rectification work. And no extra work means saving time and cost.
- Faster completion
Due to the large-scale modular build projects, project owners have pre accumulated pipe racks and units that are fabricated at different units across the world. With dimensional control, manufacturing, fabrication work, or allied works take place in parallel across the globe. It ensures that every module or object is made to fit on another without any need for additional work. Further, it reduces the construction/fabrication time and enables project owners to complete a project soon.
- Prediction of closing spools
Having dimensional control allows you to predict closing spools. For instance, it helps you complete the survey job soon. And this completion makes you move forward in the process of fabrication to installation and the final stage of project completion. A CAD model helps you to carry out the entire process and lead to doing comparison work. With the CAD, you have an idea of what you will do at what time. And hence, you can easily predict the project completion or closing time.
Conclusion
Dimensional accuracy is highly beneficial for each sector. It ensures faster project completion, facilitates project closing prediction, makes things fit better the first time. Further, it saves time and costs that are more valuable to you. Gradually, you will have a better stand in the market.
