PDC slashes engineering costs, because these unique services are available on an as needed basis. Fabrication costs are also reduced, because the system is so accurate, almost all the pipe sections can be pre-fabricated in the shop. Installation costs are reduced, because pre-fabrication of over 95% of the pipe sections greatly simplifies and reduces on-site labor and supervision. 3-D views allow verification of all clearances and greatly facilitate construction meetings and quick understanding of the design. All of this means reduced errors, problems and costs for end users. It also means more successful projects for those contractors involved in the specification and design process, by offering the ability to submit lower bids than less knowledgeable competitors.

PDC delivers innovative piping design solutions to satisfy a wide variety of application requirements. Experience includes steam, hot water and chill water systems, specialty chemical processes, piping and instrumentation, project engineering and management.
