Prefabrication is a construction technique that is increasingly being applied to different building components due to its many benefits, including higher quality and lower waste. Despite these advantages, there are challenges in execution of these components on projects, due to transportation logistics, skilled labor requirements, and project management techniques. This paper investigates the current landscape of prefabricated pipe spools and potential solutions for minimizing these challenges. The scope of this research includes a proposed workflow, to standardize implementation of these components. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with industry professionals to assess current industry practices and the validity of the proposed workflow. Findings of this paper indicate that greater integration between design, fabrication and transportation is required to minimize inefficiencies when implementing prefabricated pipe spools on projects.

In order to secure manufacturing competitiveness of offshore plants, piping process is one of the most important processes. This study is about the design of management system for piping materials manufacturing of the offshore plant. As a result of the study, we analyzed the system and algorithms needed for the processing of piping material products and designed the structure of the entire management system. We conducted a process analysis of the design, manufacturing and installation processes. And also we proposed a system structure to improve the various problems that have come out. We also proposed an algorithm to determine the delivery order of the pipe spools, and proposed a raw material management system for the manufacturing of the pipe spools. And we designed a manufacturing process management system to manage the risk of pipe materials delivery. And finally we proposed a data structure for the installation process management system. The data structures and algorithms were actually implemented, and applied the actual process data to verify the effect of the system.

플랜트 공사 현장에서 파이프 스풀은 플랜트 설비의 가장 중요한 요소이다. 현재 플랜트 공사장에서 파이프 스풀 관리는 수기 작성을 통해 적재 위치 및 작업 내역을 관리하고 있다. 그러나 현재 현장에서는 작업자의 임의적인 파이프 스풀의 이동과 제작 또는 설치해야 할 파이프 스풀을 찾지 못했을 경우 비슷한 파이프 스풀을 가지고 와 다시 제작하는 현상이 발생하고 있다. 이에 파이프 스풀의 위치를 정확하게 알 수 없기 때문에 파이프 스풀을 찾기 위한 인건비와 시간이 소요되며, 분실에 대한 관리가 되지 않는 상황이다. 이에 파이프 스풀에 UHF RFID 태그를 부착하고 차량에 UHF RFID 리더 및 안테나를 장착하여 파이프 스풀의 위치를 찾을 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템을 활용하여 현장 테스트를 진행한 결과 98% 이상의 위치 정보 인식이 가능했으며, 손실된 2%의 미 인식 태그는 작업자에 의한 보정을 통해 100%의 관리가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 제안된 시스템 도입으로 인건비와 분실 파이프에 대한 관리가 원활하게 이루어질 뿐만 아니라 특정 공간에 적재되어있는 물품관리에도 활용될 것으로 전망한다.

This research investigates a Modeling Spell Checker that, similarly to Word Spell Checker for word processing software, would conform as-built 3D models to standard construction rules. The work is focused on the study of pipe-spools. Specifically pipe diameters and coplanarity are checked and corrected by the Modeling Spell Checker, and elbows are deduced and modeled to complete models. Experiments have been conducted by scanning scenes of increasing levels of complexity regarding the number of pipes, the types of elbows and the number of planes constituting pipe-spools. For building models of pipes from sensed data, a modeling method, developed at the University of Texas at Austin, that is based on the acquisition of sparse point clouds and the human ability to recognize geometric shapes has been used Results show that primitive-based models obtained after scanning construction sites can be corrected and even improved automatically, and, since such models are expected to be used as feedback control models for equipment operators, the higher modeling accuracy achieved with the Modeling Spell Checker could potentially increase the level of safety in construction. Result also show that some improvements are still needed especially regarding the co-planarity of pipes. In addition, results show that the modeling accuracy significantly depends on the primitive modeling method, and improvement of that method would positively impact the modeling spell checker.
