#NewEngineeringEra – Improving Brownfield Project Execution

It is common knowledge that efficient execution of brownfield projects is not easy. Finding a way to capture and verify as-built information; enable engineering information exchange between design and stress analysis; and efficiently create deliverables can be a complex and a time-consuming venture. Not to mention the handover of data and documentation for the operations and maintenance!

We at Intergraph believe there should be an easier, faster and more affordable solution to execute your brownfield projects flawlessly. This in mind we visited one of our customers, ECO FOX, to see how they have entered the #NewEngineeringEra and improved their brownfield project execution with our CADWorx^® & Analysis solutions.

The benefits for ECO FOX include:

• Improved decision making capability through better quality data
• Reduced operational costs due to more efficient workflows and fewer needed work hours
• Enhanced information quality thanks to accurate as-build data capture, modeling and bi-directional information exchange between engineering disciplines

Curious to know how ECO FOX overcame its project execution challenges and improved profitability? Watch the new movie with real life project examples and join the #NewEngineeringEra! The ECO FOX story is also available as a PDF.

Tony Paulin of Paulin Research Group discusses the latest code developments in pipe/vessel design

As design projects are getting more and more complex longer working hours are needed to meet project deadlines, while efficiency needs to be optimized in a tight timeframe. We know this is not easy: the processes need to be more intelligent and accurate to save time and money. How can we obtain this? What is the best solution for easier, smarter and faster pipe/vessel design? What can the next-generation software do to optimize our way of working?

These are only some of the questions Tony Paulin from Paulin Research Group will be answering during the FEA Seminar hosted by Intergraph, on October 28^th at Dexter House, London. And Tony knows what he’s talking about! As a respected engineer, a member of the B31 committee and the original author of CAESAR II®, Tony is the leading authority on pipe stress/vessel design.

Amongst other things Tony will talk about latest code developments and how these are addressed with a leading set of tools available now to ensure accuracy and code compliance without the need for expensive and time consuming system modifications. This facilitates faster project execution whilst breeding increased confidence in your results using easy to learn techniques that are actively encouraged by the codes.

CADWorx University 2010 - It's a Wrap

 
   

Intergraph CADWorx® & Analysis Solutions would like to thank each and every one of you that attended this year's 2010 CADWorx University, September 27-29, 2010, held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center.

The conference was well attended with 225 attendees representing over 90 companies(Including Autodesk:-) from around the globe. Attendees had access to over 45 classes taught by 18 industry experts. We also had great sponsors that displayed the added value they deliver users of the CADWorx Plant Design Suite. Also in attendance were this year's Drivers of Success competition winners; KBR, Russia; Fichtner Consulting, India; and Mech-Tech Projects, India.

The keynote was delivered in two parts, the first part by Patrick Holcomb, executive vice president, Intergraph Process Power & Marine (Intergraph PPM). During Patrick's talk he outlined Intergraph's rational and future plans for CADWorx as part of Intergraph PPM's offerings, including the integration of CADWorx models and designs into the SmartPlant® Enterprise environment.

During his keynote Patrick also delivered a message from Gerhard Sallinger, president, Intergraph PPM which stated, “Intergraph acquired COADE in early 2010 because we recognized the strength of CADWorx and the power it provides to its clients. CADWorx is a great addition to our product portfolio, well known for its superior productivity. Also, because of the benefits of allowing CADWorx data to be accessed and incorporated into our SmartPlant Enterprise world, we are currently working on delivering this powerful functionality to all our users.”

The second part of the Keynote was delivered by Tom Van Laan, P.E., senior vice president, Intergraph CADWorx & Analsysis Solutions, where he outlined the process of the January 2010 acquisition and his team's experience in working with Intergraph, and Intergraph's focused goals for the CADWorx Plant Design Suite and the group's analysis products.

The final event of the conference was the golf tournament on Wednesday afternoon held at the Woodforest Golf Club, north of The Woodlands. No hole-in-ones were recorded, but two teams tied for top place at 7-under, with the winner decided by scores on the highest handicap holes. We had a great time, the course was great, as were their attentive and professional staff.

A shout must go out to IT Exchange Group who mananged our event with wonderful attention to detail and always ensured that attendees received the best service and care. Our thanks to Dana, Vicki and their staff.

You will learn how to make your old drawings intelligent, how to generate instrument loop diagrams, using CADWorx Loops, and how to use CADWorx Internet Publisher to publish your intelligent P&ID projects, allowing drawings and linked data to be accessed and marked up from within a browser. We will cover everything from the easy creation of intelligent P&ID's to datasheet capabilities for instrumentation and equipment.
