Frequently asked questions
Why Pathnovo for Indian engineering and EPC?
India runs three concurrent capacity expansion waves: refining (IOCL Paradip, BPCL Bina, HPCL Rajasthan, Reliance Jamnagar J3), fertiliser revival (IFFCO Kalol, NFL Ramagundam reopened, Talcher Fertilizers), and gas pipeline build-out (Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra, City Gas Distribution). Indian EPC contractors and consultancies (EIL, L&T, Tata Projects, MECON, PDIL) are simultaneously executing domestic capex and Gulf export contracts. Engineering document volumes are 10 to 50x what teams can manually process. Pathnovo deploys as a managed service on Azure India Central with OISD / PESO / CCOE / IBR compliance native and INR-GST billing through Pathnovo India Pvt Ltd.
Does Pathnovo support OISD-118 + OISD-150 compliance?
Yes. OISD-118 (Layout of Petroleum Refineries, Gas Processing Plants, and Petrochemical Industries) piping rules are pre-configured. Pathnovo extracts every P&ID line item with OISD-118 clause references for material grade, schedule, rating, hydrocarbon service, and isolation requirements. OISD-150 (Electrical Safety) hazardous area classification is extracted from area classification drawings and cross-validated against IS / IEC 60079-10-1 zone definitions and temperature class assignments. OISD-116 (Fire Prevention and Protection) fire system extraction (deluge, foam, gaseous, dry chemical) runs alongside.
Does Pathnovo handle PESO and CCOE licensing data?
Yes. PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation, formerly Department of Explosives / CCOE) governs Indian petroleum facility licensing under Petroleum Rules 2002, SMPV Rules 1981, and Static & Mobile Pressure Vessels Rules 2016. Pathnovo extracts Class A / B / C petroleum classification data, storage tank inventory with dyke arrangement, hazardous area drawings as required by Petroleum Rules, Form XIV vessel registration data, and explosives storage compliance for notified facilities. Standard workflow for IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, GAIL, IFFCO licensing renewals.
Does Pathnovo handle IBR 1950 and Indian Boiler Regulations?
Yes. Indian Boiler Regulations 1950 govern steam piping with design pressure exceeding 3.5 kg/cm2 above atmospheric and capacity exceeding 22.75 litres. Pathnovo identifies Class A and Class B steam pipe from P&IDs and isometrics with material grade and design conditions, compiles IBR Form III piping component schedules, Form IV mill certificate registers, and Form VI welding and NDE records.
