Worked on a Master P&ID update at Marathon's Catlettsburg Refinery. Existing P&IDs were walked down by a team consisting of one piper and one E&I designer. Line numbers and Instrument numbers were added. The line number code (spec, etc.) was checked by a Chemical Engineer. Equipment data (pressures, temperatures, etc.) was verified. After all that was completed, then the mark ups were sent to CAD. I was responsible for all electronic files. Translated AutoCAD files into Microstation format. 1500 P&IDs were updated in 9 months and the project ended.
