About
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.
