Engineering schematics and architectural drawings for pipeline and drilling operations are notoriously difficult to read: dense, technical, and inaccessible to anyone outside a narrow circle of specialists. This creates real communication problems across teams when non-technical stakeholders need to understand layouts, flows, or site plans.

Convert the existing schematics into clean, to-scale Figma files that anyone in the organization could open, navigate, and actually understand. Maintaining precise scale was critical — these weren't only illustrative diagrams, they needed to accurately represent real-world dimensions and relationships.

As the sole designer on the project, I was responsible for interpreting the source engineering documents, building a library of reusable components to ensure consistency across files, and delivering organized Figma files that could be updated and extended over time.

While this was far from the work I usually do it was regardless an interesting project. The most difficult part was learning how to create and maintain a scale, especially to this size and then creating a multitude of components that could be used at scale across files: containers, pre-fab buildings, etc./. We aren't talking about pixels to poster or billboard size but large structures and areas the size of buildings.
