Physical parts of a plant are usually represented by 3D CAD models. The CAD system used would typically focus on top-down, routing, and DMU and would differ on many point from the systems used in the mechanical industry, or for Architectural engineering. Sometimes the CAD system would be supplemented by software to generate 3D views or walk-through features.
The technical data is typically managed by an ERP system or some other database. There could also be links to systems for handling unstructured data, like EDM systems.
