David Barnes

Senior Piping Design Professional with over 39 years of extensive experience in all phases of the petrochemical industry. I have several years experience as a lead designer overseeing all phases of piping design and drafting. I have extensive field experience gathering all information needed to layout, design and draw piping systems.

I have developed P&ID's, created plans, elevations, details, sections, isometrics, and fabrication spool sheets, along with surveying and field checking. I have developed detailed design estimates and followed construction through to final completion across numerous projects. Also, I have developed 3D models utilizing several different software packages created from 3D point clouds, as well as checking models, plans and isometrics generated by the software.

Assembled complete drawing packages for bidding and construction purposes.
