In this webinar we will discuss a brief history of human beings’ use of units and measurements. We will cover how various unit systems and standards were developed and have changed over time as our understanding of our environment and technology improves. Although this is primarily a descriptive, rather than a technical, approach to the subject, we will also highlight how, and when, the incorrect use of units can make life a challenge in the engineering world.

And the winners are:

CADWorx Plant Design: FLSmidth

In this project FLSmidth  was tasked to supply a large $100m, 40,000 tonnes per day greenfield copper concentrator facility for a mine in Mongolia. Using Intergraph CADWorx Plant Professional FLSmidth developed piping plans and sections, ISOGEN isometrics, and used the program’s live project database to create materials lists that automatically attached unique part numbers directly from the piping specifications.

CAESAR II: Mott MacDonald

In this project Mott MacDonald worked on a PNG LNG project that included gas production and gas transfer through a 700km pipeline. The scope of work involved the use of Intergraph CAESAR II to analyze above ground and buried pipelines across varied terrain and occasional fault lines and through multiple substations. CAESAR II statics modules, dynamics module (used for seismic analysis), buried soil modeler, and ISOGEN isometrics were heavily used.

PV Elite: L&T Chiyoda Limited

L&T Chiyoda Limited, a joint venture between Larsen Toubro, India and Chiyoda, Japan, used Intergraph PV Elite for vessel design for a large and complex pressure vessel in a Petrochemicals complex project. The vessel weighed 1000 tonne, was 82m in length, 9.6m in diameter, and was  fabricated in one piece. ASME Code calculations were created easily and quickly for MDMT, Nozzles, External Pressure, Hydrostatic testing, MAWP, MAP, Flanges etc.
