Validate is agnostic to design tools and is populated via Microsoft Excel upload templates. Engineering systems provide the primary source records for validation. These include SPID, SPEL, SPI, 3D model, line lists, valve registers, cable schedules, and equipment lists, etc. Relationships are created at a tag level across source records, which provides the foundational elements for analysis.

Validate is configured to project tag naming specifications. Company taxonomy identifies all the required attribution by tag class including data type (number, text, etc). The taxonomy in Validate is used to identify gaps in requirements, as well as inconsistencies in data types.

Default attributes are pre-defined values for each attribute in Validate. The purpose is to ensure attributes are not only populated, but are consistent with defined values.

A minimum of 3 sources Triangulation in Validate is the process of ensuring all engineering source records have a minimum of 3 data sources from which to compare.

For example, the valve register would be compared to the 3D model and SPID output. Triangulation enables identification of the likely incorrect data source to expedite updates.

Traceability and control. Use document numbers and revisions as part of the upload process will automatically create a change log against the last revision loaded.

Connected, intergrated, visual reporting
Integrated reporting is available through custom dashboards created specifically for the needs of the project directly from within Validate.

Once established, these automatically update providing real-time insights for effective decision making – enabling collaboration by connecting site and home office teams.
