Dr. Beazley from Houston is an author of multiple training courses on Piping Design and Engineering, internationally known consultant on task analysis, structured assessment and training. William enjoys applying his diversified experience and knowledge in engineering, management and human resource development to challenging problems in piping engineering and design, project execution and work process improvement.
27 January 2022 - Lunch and Learn Session 1: Piping Assurance in a Digital World
Watch video of webinar at SPED YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y45VzkdKogo
Explore the methods available to check process plant layout and piping designs in today’s digital world. Most designs today represent the process plant as a digital model utilizing data structures tuned to capture the most important characteristics of equipment and pipe. It this form, plant data can be easily and accurately entered, changed, checked, reported, and repurposed.
By recognizing the design of these data structures and supporting software, methods can be developed to quality assure process plant data.

There is has been a decisive shift toward using High Value Engineering Centers (HVECs) to cut costs of major projects. While most report some projected savings using this approach, there are persistent complaints that the trend is fraught with problems and presents new demands on Piping Managers.
Issues include but are not limited to:
December 3, 2021, HOUSTON, TX. The pressing need for quality in piping design is the focus of a new addition to SPED’s Piper Video Series. The additional course, Piping Quality Assurance is considered preparation for Level II of SPED’s Professional Piping Designer (PPD) certification.
SPED is pleased to announce its latest addition to the Piper Video Series, Piping Quality Assurance. The course reviews the latest principles and methods available to check process plant layout and piping designs in today’s digital world. The Society of Piping Engineers and Designers (SPED) began an analysis of piping assurance checklists and practices as part of its four level Professional Piping Designer (PPD) Certification Program. Level II, Pipe Assurance, assesses the quality assurance of pipe, plus a working knowledge of selected specialty piping systems. Under the direction of the PPD Advisory Committee and the SPED Board of Directors, contributed checklists and practices were distilled into a set of slides and reviewed by experts. Strong attention was paid to assurance of 3D plant models and their extracted documents and data sets. The general principles and methods found are presented in this course.
Over three years in development, the course is the result of reviewing existing design checklists and input from multiple experts. The result is principles and methods spanning process flow diagrams to mechanical completion and commissioning. Each topic contains examples of checks and typical errors from real projects and the course is an excellent reference for piping checking.
PPD Level II pipers are certified to be able to check their own work. This is highly desirable in today’s distributed, digital model work environment.
SPED only provides training to its individual members or employees of corporate members.
The current topics are:
Part 1 – Major Global Considerations
Part II – Assurance of process, control and equipment design documents/studies
Part III – Assurance of piping routing documents/studies
Part IV – Assurance of Field Work
Part V – Specialty Piping Systems
Pricing: All SPED Piper Video Series are licensed only to Corporate Members in good standing.
