CAD Drafting Services from The Magnum Group Used in Building Mega-Liner

The Magnum Group, Indian engineers and architects, land a maritime CAD drafting contract in the mid five figure range

An important European maritime HVAC contractor has recently ordered more than 4,000 hours of CAD drafting services, dollar valued in the mid five figure range, from The Magnum Group, http://themagnumgroup.net, the Indian engineering and architectural design specialists.

The Magnum Group's drawings will be used in building one of the largest passenger liners in history: the vessel will have 1,250 cabins, several restaurants, a ballroom, casino, disco, library, health club, swimming pools, shopping arcades, theatres and a wealth of other amenities.

The Magnum Group’s charter is to draw multiple longitudinal and sectional views of all the HVAC plant rooms in one of the main fire zones (MFZs) of the liner. These views will include machine beds, machines, air ducts, air filters, water pipes, support structures as well as all holes in the metal walls for pipe and duct passage. The water pipe representations will include manual and motorized valves and dosing stations.

The project spans several months and involves intensive interaction between the European customer and the design team at Chennai, India. The various delivery milestones have been formulated to carefully dovetail with the many other service installation schedules of the mammoth ocean craft.

The Group owes its competence to the fact that it is run by a senior engineer from the famed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) along with a fellow of the Indian Institute of Architects. Its exacting quality control standards constantly earn it accolades from customers in Europe and the USA. The Magnum Group’s repeatedly demonstrated ability to deliver on time has made it the preferred CAD drafting services provider for discerning international engineering and architectural firms.

The Magnum Group has ongoing contracts for several land-based large projects; this assignment, however, firmly establishes The Magnum Group as a prime CAD drafting services provider for international mega-projects.

Several other contracts on a similar scale are expected within the year.
