Connect Plant Design, Engineering Documents, and Operations

Plant environments generate large volumes of drawings, models, specifications, equipment data, and operating records. Hagerman helps plant owners, engineering teams, contractors, and maintenance personnel create, control, and access accurate information throughout the facility lifecycle.

Let's Talk Strategy

Plant Information Must Work Across the Facility Lifecycle

Plant engineering doesn't end when a model or drawing is complete — information created during design must support construction, commissioning, maintenance, modifications, and future projects.

Complex Plant Design
Piping, equipment, structures, electrical systems, and existing conditions must be modeled and coordinated accurately.

Concurrent Projects and As-Built Control
Multiple projects may affect the same facility while operations teams still need reliable access to approved as-built information.

Difficult Access for Operations and Maintenance
Critical drawings and documents can be hard to locate when information is spread across plan rooms, network folders, and disconnected systems.

How Hagerman Helps Plant and Process Organizations

Improve Plant Design and Coordination
Build intelligent plant models, capture equipment data, automate documentation, validate designs, and identify conflicts before construction.

Keep As-Built and Project Records Under Control
Manage drawings, revisions, approvals, project copies, as-built records, and contractor information in a centralized environment — with clean separation between active project copies and approved as-builts.

Give Operations Controlled Access
Provide operations and maintenance teams with 24/7 search-view-print access to the drawings and records they need, while supporting orderly project-to-as-built handoffs.

Extend and Integrate Your Systems
Create custom Plant 3D parts and specifications, connect document management with asset and maintenance systems, and automate repetitive engineering processes.

Facility Airflow and Energy Management

Many older facilities' HVAC systems are outdated and don't distribute air effectively. HVAC control is essential for occupant comfort, maintaining equipment and processes, regulatory compliance, and limiting pollutant output. Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies, Hagerman can provide insight into existing and redesigned HVAC systems, producing:

  • 3D virtual prototypes of current and proposed facilities, including airflow patterns and thermal distributions
  • Full simulation and analysis of proposed HVAC system modifications prior to purchasing expensive new equipment
  • Improved overall facility energy management
  • Reductions in energy consumption, scrap rates, and pollutant output — and reduced risk of EPA violations and fines
  • Annual energy savings of $50,000 to $100,000 per 1MM square feet

The Hagerman Advantage: 40+ Years Support Plant and Process Environments

Hagerman has spent 40+ years supporting plant environments across industries including chemicals, food and beverage, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, utilities, metals, pipelines, pulp and paper, and industrial manufacturing. As an Autodesk Platinum Partner, we pair plant design, document management, and facility analysis technology with the professional services to make it actually work across your projects and operations.

Our team brings together CAD, plant design, reality capture, engineering document management, and facility energy analysis expertise to:

  • Model and coordinate complex plant systems — piping, equipment, structures, and electrical — before conflicts reach the construction phase
  • Separate active project copies from approved as-builts, so operations teams always know which record to trust
  • Give O&M personnel fast, reliable access to the drawings and documents they need to keep facilities running
  • Analyze facility airflow and energy performance with CFD studies before committing to costly HVAC changes

This is the same partnership approach we've built with plant and process organizations for over four decades — addressing both immediate project needs and the long-term management of plant information.
