I am a Mechanical CAD Designer and Draughtsperson with 5+ years of professional experience in 2D drafting, 3D modelling, plant design and manufacturing documentation across oil & gas, paper manufacturing and heavy industry. I work with AutoCAD Plant 3D, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge and Navisworks to turn concepts, sketches, existing drawings and engineering requirements into accurate, practical CAD deliverables. My experience includes 3D mechanical models, P&IDs, PFDs, General Arrangement drawings, piping layouts, isometric drawings, fabrication drawings, sheet metal designs, DXF files, skid designs and Bills of Materials. I also have hands-on project experience involving field measurements, clash detection, drawing revisions, manufacturing, assembly, welding and workshop inspections. This allows me to design with real-world fabrication and installation requirements in mind. I can help with: • 2D CAD drafting and drawing conversion • 3D mechanical modelling and assemblies • Mechanical and manufacturing drawings • Fabrication-ready drawings • Plant 3D and piping layouts • P&IDs, PFDs, GAs and isometrics • Sheet metal and DXF drawings • Bills of Materials • Drawing revisions and CAD modifications • Concept-to-manufacturing CAD development If you have a sketch, PDF, existing drawing, 3D model or engineering concept, send me your requirements and I can help turn it into a professional CAD solution.

I have been involved with piping, structural and mechanical equipment in mining & process plant most of my working life. From concept to detail design through to fabrication and construction. My experience as an artisan enhances my abilities to do design of process plants. My experience includes construction supervision of plant where I also were part of the design team. I have experience in the complete workflow, from surveying pipeline routes, calculation of pipe sizes, friction losses, pump station design, pump selection and incorporating all this into a 3D model using either Inventor, AutoCAD or AutoCAD. From this I produce fabrication drawings for use in a workshop, and construction/assembly drawing to facilitate the construction phase.

EDMUND IAN COOPER Piping 3D Plant Designer with 35+ years’ experience delivering piping design solutions across oil & gas, refinery, offshore, and EPC project environments. I specialise in brownfield modifications, shutdowns, and turnaround maintenance, with extensive hands-on experience supporting offshore assets in Angola (Chevron CABGOC – Block 0 & 14) as well as refineries and fuel terminals across Southern and East Africa. Technically strong in AutoCAD Plant 3D, and CadWorx, AVEVA E3D (Intermediate). I produce accurate and construction-ready: • 3D piping models • Isometrics • General arrangements • As-built documentation I am comfortable working from P&IDs through to full 3D model development, including clash detection, material take-offs, and fabrication deliverables, with a solid understanding of ASME / API standards. Known for being a reliable, deployment-ready contractor, I integrate quickly into project teams and deliver under tight deadlines, particularly in live plant and shutdown environments. ________________________________________
