DUCT
DRAWINGS - Design to Fabrication
As a contractor, you want more than material- you
 want the kind
of support and problem solving that make the job go smoothly and profitably.
At ZEN, our value added services include preparing Duct Drawings using EastCoast
CAD/CAM.
Dependable Error Reduction
ZEN duct drawings eliminate the imprecision and drafting errors of days past,
saving you the headache of dealing with ill-fitting pieces and
sorting through a jig-saw puzzle of delivered ductwork.
 That's a direct savings in time and money, making your job more profitable.
Of
course, it's about more than software. Experienced personnel are one
thing, but at ZEN we consider
our draftsmen accomplished at their art.
"We take the blueprints," explained draftsman Stephen Dantone, "and section out
the work, detailing what kind of fitting it is, the joint, the gauge- everything
about each fitting or piece of duct.
Using software, we number and develop a schedule of everything that is
unique about a piece of duct. This enables us to find collisions and
minimize design mistakes, ensuring precision fits, including connections and
supports."
Direct to Coil Line and Plasma Tables
After duct drawings come back, a second drawing pass provides an exact
AutoCAD visualization- different spools, an isometric view of duct elements
going up and coming down, complete with duct numbers and tags that label length
and diameter. Drafting figures can be sent instantly to fabrication and
estimating, even transmitting digital information directly to ZEN's coil line and
Vulcan plasma tables.
The Last Word in Duct Drawings
EastCoast's CAD/CAM software delivers
accurate detailing and reporting along with a clear visualization of how the
final ductwork will be installed. This ensures HVAC implementation is correct,
down to the finest details of the design.
