Getting ‘data-savvy’ Respected industry analyst Monica Schnitger was right on target when she said recently that ‘EPCs have to get data-savvy’. I think I would expand that trenchant observation to include their Owner Operato Operatorr clients; both sides of the engineering industry work in lockstep and the information advantage has never been as important to both as it is now. The truth of this is brought into sharp focus by the case studies we feature in this magazine. This issue in particular shows how, across different industry sectors, those businesses that are already data-savvy are better able to weather the continuing global economic downturn. In the shipbuilding industry, which has suffered a market downturn longer than most others, we find that AVEVA Marine™ is enabling shipyards to thrive by being more efficient at building ever more advanced vessels that can turn a profit for their operators in the face of stiff competition and more stringent environmental environmental regulations. The story is similar on shore. Plant builders are not only turning to AVEVA’s proven integrated technologies to increase their efficiency and capabilities – especially in brownfi brownfield eld projects – they are also seeing the benefits of harnessing information to create Digital Assets from the outset. So the Digital Asset approach is being both pulled by the increasingly data-savvy Owner Operators, who need it to more efficiently manage their assets, and pushed by EPCs who understand its competitiv competitive e advantage in a buyer’s market.

‘The Digital Asset approach is being both pulled by the increasingly data-savvy Owner Operators, who need it to more efficiently manage their assets, and pushed by EPCs who understand its competitiv competitive e advantage in a buyer’ buyer’ss market.... ma rket....’’

It’s no coincidence that these successful businesses are AVEVA customers; we develop increasingly powerful technologies to make them successful. But, importantly, we also strive to enable their business value to be realised without users having to get bogged down in the technology itself. HHI have told us how they appreciate AVEVA Marine for it not requiring IT experts just to enter design information. And the response to AVEVA Engage™ from customers who need to make decisions based on information, not data, has been overwhelming. So I would qualify Ms Schnitger’s assertion by saying ‘informationsavvy’,, rather savvy’ rath er than th an ‘data-savvy.’ ‘data-savvy.’ That’s where AVEV AVEVA A has ha s always a lways been leading the market. Of course, we don’t neglect the more practical aspects of using our technologies. Our first steps into Cloud deployment, in the form of the AVEVA Experience™ hands-on trial of AVEVA Everything3D™ (AVEVA E3D™), have met with great success. PDMS users have registered for it in large numbers and together we are learning much about Cloud provision of high-end engineering design software. And AVEVA E3D isn’t standing still either; we have now added valuable new features and functions for the specialist needs of the mining industry. industry. Squeezed Squeeze d between falling demand and prices, and increasingly challenging regulation, this sector continues to rapidly raise its game by using sophisticated technology to be ever more efficient and agile. I was delighted to see AVEVA once again being recognised as Britain’s Most Admired Company. But I am even more delighted at the success we enable in our customers, and their willingness to showcase their successes in the pages of this magazine. Thank you all.

Building the Biggest How Hyundai uses AVEV AVEVA A Marine Marine to efficiently deliver the world’ world’ss largest ships Sangwook Ham Vice President, Head of EPC and Marine Sales, NEA, AVEVA

From the early days of Korea’s rapid economic development, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has played an important role in establishing the country as the economic and technological powerhouse it is today. To maintain its world-leading position in the face of a volatile marine market, the company’s shipbuilding division has actively diversified into more profitable opportunities in offshore projects. But diversification alone is not enough; HHI needed competitive advantage, not only in the breadth of projects it can deliver, but also in the way it delivers them. AVEVA Marine™ has provided the foundation of that competitive advantage.


05

HHI wanted to establish a design system, optimised for its production facilities, that could be deployed rapidly and that would enable faster, better coordinated working across its design teams. With its breadth of capabilities and an established track record in the industry, HHI chose AVEVA Marine as the best solution to quickly optimise its productivity.

Designers in individual areas such as hull and outfitting now have full visibility of what every other group is doing. The 3D model is shared across the entire design team in real time, which boosts the efficiency of collaboration, helps to quickly eliminate errors such as design clashes, and reduces overall design time.

After four decades working with its original CAD system, HHI’s designers faced a challenge in adapting to AVEVA Marine, but soon began seeing real benefits. ‘In the beginning, we saw an increase in man-hours, but as our designers started to get the hang of it the number of man-hours fell sharply,’ said Jong Shik, Kim, Head of CAD Development team, General Manager, HHI. ‘In spite of the surge in the amount of information we can now generate for production, design man-hours have dropped drastically as compared to CAD.’

The advantages of AVEVA Marine have enabled HHI to take on ever more complex and ambitious projects of increasing scope and scale. No surprise, then, that HHI can set new records; one of their latest vessels designed in AVEVA Marine is the CSCL Globe, which surpassed the massive Maersk Triple E to become the world’s largest container ship.

Cost-cutting software for a cost-cutting strategy The shipping industry is currently still depressed, so cost savings are more important than ever. AVEVA Marine has proved an important enabler of efficiency increases in HHI’s day-today business. ‘The strength of AVEVA Marine is that it doesn’t require IT experts to input data; our designers can easily enter their accumulated acc umulated knowledge to the system,’ explained Young Young Seuk, Han, Head of Engineering & Design, EVP, HHI. ‘This continually builds up a resource of cost-saving and optimised designs that enable us to improve design efficiency and productivity on every successive project.’

The largest vessel in the world: CSCL Globe Building ever larger container ships in a market burdened with acute over-tonnage may seem counter-intuitive, but the economic pressures are relentless. Low freight rates, more stringent emissions regulations and the enforced switch to more expensive diesel fuel force operators to seek greater economies of scale and more fuel-efficient design. Shipbuilders are responding to this demand by increasing their abilities to build ever more massive vessels of ever more sophisticated and efficient design. But it still remains a buyer’s market, so they must also be able to build these new vessels ever more quickly and efficiently. This is where HHI can exploit its competitive advantage.

‘As a result of these market conditions, large shipping companies such as Maersk and CMA CGM have been continually ordering record-breaking ultra-large container ships (ULCS) to achieve much needed economies of scale, scal e,’’ explained Young Seuk, Han. ‘At the time of launching, HHI’s CSCL Globe was the world record holder at a whopping 19,000 TEU.’ With its huge size and high-efficiency engines, CSCL Globe will burn 20% less fuel per TEU than 10,000 TEU container ships. ‘But this advantage will be reduced if the vessel is not operating at full capacity, as has been the case with wit h the Maersk Mae rsk Triple E series,’ Young Young Seuk, Han Ha n warned. ‘On the other hand, shipbuilders have introduced the ULCS in response to market demand, so it is hard to say whether or not these vessels will actually run under capacity. Maersk took the lead with their Triple E and others have just begun catching up. Amid the ongoing battle for cost control and market share among shipping alliances, it is highly likely that we will see ships beyond 20,000 TEU in the near future. Container ships are likely to keep growing and shipbuilders need the tools to be able to handle those types of projects.’

‘The strength of AVEVA Marine is that it doesn’t require IT experts to input data; our designers can easily enter their accumulated knowledge to the system. This continually builds up a resource of cost-saving and optimised designs that enable us to improve design efficiency and productivity on every successive project..’

‘AVEVA Marine played a vital vi tal role in our development of the CSCL Globe design,’ Jong Shik, Kim said. ‘We could efficiently categorise a large number of models into different design zones, and operate the system with ease thanks to the relatively simple 3D models. In particular, the use of HHI’s proprietary configuration design, based on AVEVA Marine, helped to increase the recycling ratio of models, so the design lead time was shortened.’

The future Like many shipbuilders, HHI faces strong economic headwinds but has a number of strategies in place to protect its market position. The company believes that, in the increasingly competitive environment, it will be able to maintain and build on its differentiated competitiveness with continued technology innovations epitomised by the fuel-efficient CSCL Globe, and through the accumulation of experience and knowledge from using a best-in-class design system like AVEVA Marine.

The Technology

Lifeline

How technology helps you take advantage advantage of hard times

08


It is easy to profit from an upswing in the economy, but the most successful businesses are those which can also find ways to take advantage of the downswings. The current sustained depression in world energy prices is creating both winners and losers; upstream Exploration & Production is being hit hard, while downstream value chains are benefitting from cheaper feedstocks. But history teaches us that, sooner or later, the pendulum will swing back, even if we cannot predict when, why, or by how much. Perhaps unexpectedly, there is a common technology strategy that plays to your long-term advantage whether you are currently on the winning or losing side of the economic cycle; it’s all about information.

The challenge of primary production At AVEVA, because we have been serving all the world’s capital engineering industries for nearly 50 years, we understand not only their short- and long-term challenges but also how a solution applied in one sector can be applied in others. At present, for example, we see similar short-term challenges being met in similar ways by primary producers in both the oil & gas and the mining & minerals industries. Collapsing world demand and/or prices makes investment in new capacity difficult or impossible and puts increased pressure on operating costs. Mothballing new projects and slashing investment in improving existing assets may seem a necessary survival tactic, but it constrains your profitability and leaves you trailing the field when your market picks up again. In both sectors, we are seeing forward-looking companies focussing their reduced resources on brownfield projects and improved asset management capabilities, both to reduce operating costs in the short term and to sustain profitability in the long term. Both tactics require a baseline of reliable knowledge of the current state of the assets to be improved; information which, in many instances, is fragmented, of uncertain reliability, hard to access and use, or even completely missing. Until only a few years ago, overcoming this problem was costly, time-consuming and error-prone, usually limiting its scope to only individual projects rather than the entire asset. Today, however, the necessary technologies are readily available, affordable and proven, and offer transformational changes in business processes. The first of these is high-resolution 3D laser scanning, which can capture an as-operating asset quickly, safely and cheaply, and to a level of accuracy and detail not achievable by any other method. It is a powerful tool for creating an accurate baseline of the plant’s true as-operating design. But scan data not only provides an essential resource for efficient, right-first-time brownfield projects; it can now also be a maintainable long-term resource for asset life cycle management. The second enabler is data-agnostic Information Management technology, which can turn a disparate collection of incompatible types of information into a coherent, validated and easily usable resource – the Digital Asset. Together, these two enabling technologies are being used by Owner Operators to upgrade decades-old assets and to put them, and their asset management processes, on a solid foundation for decades more profitable production.

‘We are seeing forwardlooking companies focussing their reduced resources on brownfield projects and improved asset management capabilities, both to reduce operating costs in the short term and to sustain profitability in the long term... ter m...’’ In the mining sector, we are seeing the industry rapidly shed its low-tech image to take advantage of modern 3D design and Information Management technologies to complement and implement increasingly sophisticated processes for extraction and refining. Easier reuse of more modularised design enables quicker and cheaper reconfiguration of material handling and processing facilities as the mine is worked. Mining companies are thus able to drive down costs and be more agile in responding to a volatile market.

The downstream challenge With cheaper feedstocks, the downstream industries should be enjoying boom times but, of course, the global downturn is also squeezing demand. Increased margins from lower input costs are being eroded by price competition to maintain output and market share. This sector is thus generally faced with the same challenges as the primary producers, so it is not surprising to see the same technology tools being applied in the same ways. However, new builds are not completely extinct; they just face even greater pressures on cost and delivery time, on top of increasingly stringent regulatory and environmental requirements. Here, we see the challenges being met by the use of more powerful and more tightly integrated technologies in 3D design, engineering, collaboration and communication to cut costs, time and rework in project execution. These are complemented by the same Digital Asset approach to Information Management to progressively transfer validated engineering master data from the contractor to the client. This has been proved to save considerable direct costs in project handover, but it also reduces time to nameplate capacity at start-up and helps to maximise the new asset’s profitability from the outset.

The contractors’ opportunity With demand for big new-build projects at a low and all projects being squeezed on price and delivery, contractors must turn a challenge into an opportunity by using technology to increase their ability to add value to their clients. Here we see a number of interlocking strategies.

1

First, EPCs must increase their ability to do more with less, and to do it more quickly and reliably without compromising on project quality. This requires accelerating and reducing the number of iterative steps in design development by mastering change instead of being a slave to it. Today’s highly integrated technology supports tightly integrated, collaborative workflows that manage the great many successive, interdisciplinary changes in a controlled and efficient manner. This certainly reduces costly design effort, but it represents only a small fraction of a project’s total cost. Because design directly determines all subsequent costs there is a bigger benefit in reduced construction costs, risks and timescale. At AVEVA, we regularly find EPC customers achieving 100% clash-free design and minimal, or no, construction rework. As a result, contractors can tender more confidently and with reduced contingencies. A further benefit is that more efficient design processes can create more operations-friendly design, adding value to the client by reducing their operating costs. Second, the days of ‘over the wall’ project handover are history; today’s opportunity is to increase the extent of collaboration between EPC and client. Technology now extends efficient multi-site collaboration across an EPC’s entire network of design offices, project partners, suppliers and subcontractors. But the big breakthrough has been in the use of Information Management technology to begin creating a Digital Asset from the earliest stages of FEED. Sharing this with the client’s CAPEX team enables them to play a more active role in achieving design for operability, and to also begin populating key operations systems with master data as soon as it reaches the necessary level of maturity. Where once it was common for tag completeness to lag months or even years behind start-up, today it is possible to achieve close to 100% tag completeness at start-up.

2

Third, and of particular importance when brownfield projects may be the only ones on offer, is the ability to offer 3D data capture as part of Integrated Project Execution. As described above, laser data capture is now quick, cheap and safe, and its exploitation has reached a high level of sophistication.

3

The latest 3D design solution can use and manipulate laser data directly within the design environment itself, even to the extent of incorporating it into construction deliverables. Older plants may often have no reliable design data, and modelling a plant into a 3D CAD model, just to be able to produce deliverables, can be costly, so this capability offers a way to install right-firsttime upgrades with minimum downtime and risk.

Driving down project risk The Digital Asset approach can do much to reduce project costs arising in the engineering, design and construction domains but, as projects become ever more complex, so too do contractual relationships, which increases commercial risk. Managing this class of complexity requires dedicated technology solutions that support contract administration and the supervision of compliance by the contracting parties. It is therefore becoming increasingly common to find contract management software being used alongside other businesscritical systems. While such tools can be used retrospectively to resolve claims on the other parties, this should become a last resort; greater benefits accrue to all parties by ensuring that they all fully meet their obligations to each other during the project. Contract variations can be formally managed and controlled, avoiding the misunderstandings that verbal instructions can create. The ROI in such software can be substantial, both in pure financial terms and in fostering better collaboration between the project participants. There is an obvious business case for such investment during hard times, but it will continue to pay increasing dividends when project investment increases.

Technology is the lifeline Slashing costs and investment are necessary survival tactics in hard times, but it is clear that well-planned (and often quite modest) investment in technology can deliver disproportionate benefits by driving out avoidable costs, streamlining business processes to do more with less, and increasing the control of risk. And whereas ruthless cost-cutting can often impair your ability to recover quickly when markets improve, technology investment in hard times can actually put you in a stronger position when the good times return.

CASE STUDY #AVEVAMarine

Central Marine Design Bureau Implements

AVEVA Marine to Maintain its Design Leadership Shipbuilding is today a highly concurrent process. Engineering & Design bureaus must work in parallel with construction, so keeping project data accurate throughout the project is crucial. The Central Marine Design Bureau (CMDB Almaz) realised that to achieve this they would need an integrated approach to Engineering & Design supported by the appropriate tools. Implementation CMDB Almaz decided to migrate all work onto a common platform supporting all project disciplines. The company already had extensive experience with Tribon, so in 2012 it migrated to AVEVA Marine™, AVEVA’s specialised Integrated Engineering and Design solution for shipbuilders. Now, CMDB Almaz uses a wide range of AVEVA Marine products which together form AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering & Design solution: AVEVA Hull Detailed Design™, AVEVA Outfitting™, AVEVA Cable Design™, AVEVA Assembly Planning™, AVEVA Hull Finite Element Modeller™, AVEVA Diagrams™, and AVEVA Review™. The company also uses AVEVA Global™ to synchronise project data among users and AVEVA NET Workhub and Dashboard™ to ensure the quality and consistency of all types of engineering information.

Results and business benefits CMDB Almaz’s deployment of AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering and Design solution helped the company to cut project timescales and costs. Immediate benefits included coherence between design elements and the ability to work from a common database, and the 12


more efficient design of flat and curved hulls. Automatic production of outfitting drawings and deliverables is also a big advantage, as is increased efficiency in system administration. CMDB Almaz now benefits from seamless integration between outfitting and hull design. The company is now able to deliver accurate and detailed 3D design models to construction teams. For CMDB Almaz, it is the only way to work; the bureau always delivers the 3D model to customers as a matter of course, unlike many other Russian design bureaus. This enables significant reduction in hull construction and outfitting time, and cost savings through being able to accurately procure and schedule materials. AVEVA Marine is flexible enough to support all Russian standards and requirements, which is important for CMDB Almaz as the majority of its clients are located in Russia. However, it also broadens the company’s horizons, enabling it to confidently respond to opportunities to work globally. After implementation, key CMDB Almaz specialists agreed that AVEVA Marine is the number one system for CMDB Almaz in supporting design activities.

Key projects The company’s innovative designs have been implemented in a number of unique ships, including Uragan, a small automatically-controlled hydrofoil missile ship, and a Dergach, a surface-effect missile ship later named Promornik ACV. Other projects include surface vessels, technical research ships and docks. As a result, CMDB Almaz possesses unique experience, not only in ship design and engineering, but also in collaborating with other shipyards.

About CMDB Almaz Founded in 1949, CMDB Almaz is a leading design and engineering organisation in the Russian shipbuilding industry, distinguished by its range of designs and their complexity. It is the leading Russian designer of high-speed craft, small and medium-size surface warships, landing air cushion vessels, mine countermeasures vessels, special purpose vessels and floating docks.

AVEVA NET provides a great integration platform for data coming from AVEVA Marine and many external systems. Image courtesy of CMDB Almaz.

The company’s designs have been embodied in about 26,000 combat craft, ships and vessels of various applications, built in many different countries. Since 1957 CMDB Almaz has delivered ship designs to over 40 countries and gained an excellent reputation for the quality of its work. Worldwide, seven shipyards are currently building vessels to CMDB Almaz’s designs. Find out more at www.Almaz-kb.ru.

Gathering Pace Chinese EPC WUHUAN expands deployment of Integrated Integr ated Engineering & Design Wuhuan Engineering Corporation is an international EPC, based in China and active in the petrochemicals, chemicals, fertiliser and coal-derivative industries. Its sustained growth is due to its ability to deliver increasingly large, complex capital projects on time and on budget. A key enabler of this success has been AVEVA VEVA’’s Integrated Engineering & Design solution, which integrates and streamlines the company’s design and engineering processes. Ryana Chen Marketing Specialist, AVEVA China

‘Now, with its extended IE&D solution, WUHUAN has achieved further benefits, enjoying reduced project risk through clear visibility and early notification on status and progress...’ Wuhuan Engineering Corporation (WUHUAN) was founded in 1958, so it has seen its design tools progress from drawing boards, through 2D CAD, to powerful, sophisticated 3D technologies. Today the company benefits from a wide deployment of AVEV AVEVA’ A’ss Integrated Engineering & Design (IE&D) solution so lution suite, including AVEVA AVEVA Diagrams™, Diagrams™ , AVEVA AVEVA Engineering™, AVEV AVEVA A Schematic Schem atic 3D 3 D Integrator™, AVEV VEVA A Instrumentation™ and AVEVA PDMS™.

Impressed by the capabilities of AVEVA AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering & Design solution, WUHUAN began a comprehensive investigation into its suitability for their own needs. The company was quickly convinced by the potential for significant increases in design efficiency provided by integrating P&IDs, engineering data, instrumentation and 3D models. They were further convinced by good communication with AVEVA and the high level of service provided by its technical teams.

Integrated Engineering & Design

‘Contact with AVEV VEVA’ A’ss Business Busines s Development and Sales teams gave us a deeper insight insi ght into AVEVA’ AVEVA’s solution, soluti on, and showed s howed us how its adoption could really improve our existing business processes,’ explained Mr Li, technical expert, WUHUAN.

In the highly iterative engineering and design process, an unstructured, fragmented approach to the management of change across disciplines poses a serious threat to project timeframes and profitability. Lack of visibility of change across design disciplines leads to decisions being based on information of unknown or incorrect status. Errors creep in and can proliferate undetected to create costly rework and programme delays. The core of AVEVA’s vision for Lean Construction, AVEVA’s IE&D solution, enables EPCs such as WUHUAN to overcome these potential threats. An integrated suite of products, it helps businesses to accelerate and control the iterative processes of design and engineering. By integrating information into a common, controlled dataset it enables multi-discipline project teams to collaborate on design development, in real time, from anywhere in the world.

As a long-established user of AVEVA PDMS, WUHUAN had considerable experience with it on a variety of projects. Extending its AVEVA deployment to include schematics and engineering data would enable tighter integration between disciplines. WUHUAN had already gained significant reductions in costly on-site clashes through its use of AVEVA PDMS. Now, with its extended IE&D solution, WUHUAN has achieved further benefits, enjoying reduced project risk through clear visibility and early notification on status and progress. ‘Accurate, rapidly produced designs mean better quality with improved multidiscipline consistency, saving project cost and time,’ Mr Li commented. ‘As a result, the company has not only become more competitive when bidding, but is also able to deliver more projects with the same resources, increasing its profitability.

‘Efficiency has improved significantly, which is a competitive differentiator for us,’ Mr Li went on. ‘The use of these products greatly increased our engineering and design efficiency. We have accelerated information flow and considerably reduced rework.’ WUHUAN’s use of AVEVA PDMS had already allowed project deliverables, such as piping isometrics, layout drawings and materials lists, to be generated automatically, with little or no manual intervention. The huge time saving achieved by extending their solution to include IE&D now means that the bulk of WUHUAN’s time is spent on design, rather than on production deliverables.

This nine-month chemical project required WUHUAN to manage a highly collaborative multi-disciplinary design process. ‘Multi-disciplinary collaborative design on the same platform is a unique innovation for which we had no precedent to refer to, so we inevitably encountered a few problems at first,’ noted Mr Li. ‘AVEVA helped to resolve these by sending a professional team on site to support our project personnel. ‘They also ran a programme of tailored technical training sessions for us. Not only are the improvements in efficiency enabling us to undertake more projects, our advanced design tools enable us to confidently tackle much more complex ones,’ Mr Li concluded.

The Nantong polyformaldehyde project The first project on which WUHUAN used AVEVA products was the Nantong polyformaldehyde project in 2002. Introducing PDMS provided the designers with some challenges, which were overcome within the first month as experience and familiarity with the solution increased. They successfully integrated equipment, structure and piping (including process and instrumentation piping) disciplines into a single PDMS model. The realistic 3D plant model of this project enabled WUHUAN to dramatically reduce design clashes. Other benefits included database-structured design data, automatically generated isometric drawings, materials lists and layout drawings, and a greatly improved design process which sharply increased data consistency. Nantong was followed by a number of equally successful petrochemical projects, including the Shenhua coal gasification project in 2005, the Pakistan carbamide project in 2006, and the Tianjin Soda Plant polyformaldehyde project in 2008.

The Shenhua strong brine project One key project on which AVEVA’ AVEVA’s support suppor t team played pl ayed an important part was the Shenhua strong brine project in Xinjiang.

WUHUAN plans to extend its use of AVEVA products as it continues to take on large domestic and foreign projects.

About WUHUAN Wuhuan Engineering Corporation was founded in 1958 as the 4th Design Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry of China. The company was a wholly owned subsidiary of the China National Chemical Engineering Group Corporation, directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council. It was also one of the main scientific and technological businesses within the chemical industries. Today, it sits directly underneath the design division of China National Chemical Engineering Co. Ltd. WUHUAN is an international engineering enterprise, able to execute and manage the entire life cycle of any engineering and construction project. The company holds many Class A certificates in engineering design, consulting, supervision, cost consultation and environmental impact assessment, as well as overseas engineering consulting, design and contracting. It has become one of the first engineering businesses in China to obtain the AAA credit rating. To learn more, visit www.cwcec.com/english/index.html.

Realising the Digital Asset How new technology is creating a new future for decision support

18


P R N O E W D U C T !

The purpose of any technology is to give us humans more and greater capabilities. But power must be harnessed if it is to serve our needs without creating more challenges. In the capital engineering industries, software tools now enable us to create and operate assets of almost unlimited scale and complexity but, in doing so, they have created the challenge of making effective decisions when faced with complex information of many different types, from many different sources, and often of uncertain reliability. For some years, the engineering software industry has been exploiting the intuitive nature of the 3D metaphor to support tasks beyond the traditional areas of engineering and design. Popular examples include the ability to apply colour coding to a 3D plant model to display project information such as construction status, or operationally important information such as pipe corrosion degradation. But the potential is considerably greater, both in projects and in operations. At AVEVA, AVEVA, we have invented the concept of the Digital Asset; the information ‘mirror image’ of the physical asset. In itself, this is not a new concept; every asset has associated digital information such as documents, 3D models, tag registers and so on. The breakthrough has been the development of an Information Management technology that can aggregate, contextualise, validate and make readily accessible the complex and disparate information that comprises the entire Digital Asset. This Digital Asset approach supports the entire asset life cycle, from the very beginning of the FEED stage, through project execution, progressive handover, start-up and operational life cycle management. Of the many ways in which the Digital Asset approach supports projects and operations, the most fundamental is decision support. One cannot make timely, effective or reliable decisions without access to complete and trusted information in a form that facilitates decision making. The need to improve such capability drove AVEVA to establish its ‘Future of Decision Support’ programme, which has created a new class of decision support software in the form of AVEVA Engage™. This new product brings together three state-ofthe-art technologies: data-agnostic Information Management, real-time Ultra-High Definition (UHD) 3D model rendering and touch-screen user interaction. Even to the non-specialist, the sight of this product in action is startling. A massively complex, photorealistic 3D model can be rotated, zoomed into and sectioned in real time, just with the simple finger gestures familiar to anybody with a smartphone or tablet device.

Real-time manipulation of entire models in UHD.

‘In the capital engineering industries, software tools now enable us to create and operate assets of almost unlimited scale and complexity but, in doing so, they have created the challenge of making effective decisions when faced with complex information of many different types, from many different sources, and often of uncertain reliability reliability... ...’’

At its launch at the recent AVEVA World Summit, delegates were able to experience this on one of the new 84” Microsoft Surface Hub touch-screens. It made manipulating the Digital Asset feel almost like manipulating the real thing.

AVEVA Engage takes the visualisation and use of asset information to a new level so, with customers already deploying it, we expect soon to hear reports of equally impressive achievements.

But AVEVA Engage is far more than just eye candy for engineers. Underpinned by AVEVA AVEVA NET™ technology tec hnology,, it brings the entire Digital Asset to life. Zooming in to the smallest object and touching it brings up immediate access to all of that object’s available information, of whatever type or source.

Certainly our customers have needed no convincing. AVEVA has worked closely with a Special Interest Group drawn from leading companies in the global hydrocarbons industry to ensure that the product’s development was aimed squarely at their needs. But even these individuals have been astonished by its performance, making comments such as: ‘Where we can go with this product is unimaginable’, ‘There is massive potential for both sides of the business’ and ‘AVEVA Engage provides a window onto data that we’ve simply never had before!’

The scope of application is almost unlimited, whether in projects or operations. In the project phase, because it automatically presents information most recently published to the Digital Asset, it enables project teams, programme managers and even the client’s CAPEX team to review design evolution as it progresses. Formal or informal design reviews become easier and more efficient as one can quickly get answers to questions such as ‘what’s that?’; ‘what is its current status?’; ‘who supplies it?; ‘where does it appear in the P&ID?’, and so on. Collaborative reviews for constructability or ease of operations become easier and more effective as the technology hides in the background while it puts actionable information literally at the users’ fingertips. Just as the Digital Asset is something that can be shared between the EPC’s project team and their client, so too can AVEVA Engage support closer collaboration for more efficient design for operability and better preparation for handover and commissioning. The underlying technology has more than proved its worth in this area. Woodside Engineering, for example, reported achieving a dramatic 85% reduction in project handover costs and other users of AVEVA NET have found many similar benefits.

20


This select group included several from the operations side of their companies, who could see the potential benefits of easy access to all types of current, trusted asset information. The capability can be applied non-invasively over existing systems and data sources, and complements those provided by existing Asset Management solutions for purposes such as Risk-Based Inspection or Work Order management. In the operations environment, easily answerable questions could include: ‘show me this object’s maintenance history’, ‘give me the spares stock status for this pump’, ‘remind me about the access to service this heat exchanger’ or ‘show me where all similar items are located.’ And one would not need specialist skills or training to ask such questions; the intuitive touch-screen navigation makes the entire Digital Asset easily accessible to any personnel with the appropriate permissions. Importantly, AVEVA Engage can be used at any locations throughout the enterprise. This enables engineers in the design office to review and understand information about any asset, anywhere in the world. The value for tasks such as upgrade planning of remote assets or the rapid analysis of incidents and alerts is clear.

So if AVEVA Engage is today’s future of decision support, what is tomorrow’s? There are several obvious and desirable developments in view as various 3D and Information Management technologies continue to converge. One of these, of particular interest to asset operators, is the integration of laser scan data, something which AVEVA has already taken to a new level in its latest design solution, AVEVA Everything3D™. Current capabilities here are based on the concept of the Trusted Living Point Cloud, whereby an accurate and photorealistic 3D scan of an in-service plant can be maintained up to date by local data demolition and integration of re-scans as modifications are made. This can provide, at low cost, an accurate, navigable, intelligent and maintainable 3D rendering of an asset, avoiding the cost of maintaining an as-operated 3D CAD model. A recent introduction, which also offers avenues for interesting developments, is what AVEVA AVEVA describes desc ribes as a s Context Technology. Technology. Available now in three of its Engineering & Design applications, this is also underpinned by AVEVA NET and makes Digital Asset information directly available to the project engineer from within the application itself. It avoids the disruption of leaving the design application to find and verify information from another source. The term ‘context’ refers to the fact that information presented is only that directly related to the selected object, not a torrent of mostly irrelevant information.

As Context Technology is progressively rolled out to more products, convergence will increase between the functions of AVEVA Engage and these products, enabling the development of more integrated and efficient working methods. AVEVA NET technology also enables the integration and presentation of real-time asset information, from a process data historian for example. We plan to work with our Owner Operator customer community to identify the benefits of exposing such information via AVEVA Engage and, if desirable, to develop similarly intuitive ways in which to do so. The excitement of those who have experienced AVEVA Engage is hard to overstate. Even engineers used to working with high-quality 3D models have been impressed with its capabilities. But, importantly, those who have already worked with pre-release versions on live projects have become still more enthusiastic as they find decision making so much easier, quicker and more effective. Ultimately it is all about the bottom line and, whether through more efficient project execution, better quality assets or safer operations with less downtime, our customers confidently expect AVEVA Engage to deliver rapid ROI to their businesses.

Key projects Over the years, FZETA’s projects have grown considerably in both complexity and tonnage. One of its first was the challenging curved structure of the Tronchetto Bridge in Venice, comprising multiple unique diaphragm plates and bridles. AVEVA Bocad enabled an optimum detailing process that not only saved time but also enabled FZETA to go on to detail many more bridges of all types. In 2014, FZETA completed the impressive geodesic roof structure of The King Abdullah Financial District Conference Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. AVEVA Bocad not only handled all the many complex and unique cylindrical, box beam and drum node connections, it also automatically generated the weld preparations and the vast number of detailed section views needed on the fabrication drawings.

FZETA was also contracted to detail the roof arches of New York’s World Trade Center Transportation Hub. These arches consist of continuously twisted steel sections that run from one end of the building to the other. The project client’s belief that only AVEVA Bocad could execute such sophisticated geometry was borne out by on-schedule, right-first-time production and construction.

Gaining the AVEVA Bocad Advantage

How a progressive deployment of AVEVA Bocad has delivered benefits for Dragados Offshore S.A. Ramón Núñez Tenorio Engineering Director Director,, Dragados Offshore S.A.

26


Dragados Offshore S.A. is a leading EPC contractor for the oil & gas and other energy-related industries. The company provides comprehensive solutions from concept to delivery. Its services include: concept design, detail design, construction engineering, procurement, construction, transportation, commissioning, offshore installation, and hook-up of offshore fixed platforms, offshore floating platforms, offshore wind power, subsea systems, shallow water pipelines and onshore modular fabrication.

It also carries out special projects based on large steel structures, such as structural components for bridges and dam gates. Efficient execution of such projects requires both expertise and powerful tools. Faced with increasingly diverse and complex projects, Dragados Offshore wanted to upgrade to a design system that would not only meet its specialised needs but which would also be flexible enough to enable engineers to use the same software on different types of projects. Dragados chose AVEVA Bocad™.

Previously, Dragados Offshore had been using AutoCAD for 2D and AVEVA PDMS™ for 3D work. A survey of steel detailing solutions led them to AVEVA Bocad, which stood out, not only for its best-in-class specialised capabilities, but also for being open and customisable. As an existing user of PDMS, Dragados Offshore was naturally very interested in the potential for integrating the two solutions. The type of complex, high-risk projects in which Dragados Offshore specialises require complete real-time association between the 3D model and its 2D deliverables, so that accuracy is ensured throughout the design and fabrication workflow. AVEVA Bocad not only maintains such an association, but also enables designers to use either the 3D or the 2D design views when editing a design.

In addition, AVEVA Bocad saves time and eliminates many sources of errors by automatically generating high-quality, detailed deliverables that require very little subsequent editing, if any. Importantly for Dragados, it also offers highly productive capabilities for efficiently designing specialised structures such as offshore platforms. In the contracting business, tendering involves being able to demonstrate the necessary capabilities. AVEVA Bocad’s support for complex geometry eases the process of the first stages of structural design, allowing Dragados Offshore to respond faster in the market. As a result of in-depth research and collaboration between AVEVA AVEV A and Dragados, AVEVA AVEVA Bocad also incorporates inc orporates valuable features for fabrication quality assurance, such as the treatment of welds as tagged objects instead of manual drawing annotations, and the automatic creation of optimised weld preparations on even the most complex joints.

This is a clear example of how the ‘know-how’ and expertise of Dragados Offshore can be combined with the potential of AVEVA Bocad to successfully meet users’ requirements and to incorporate new features in response to specific demands. But capability must be backed up by efficiency, so AVEVA Bocad enables, not only more standardisation, but also the reuse of previous designs and the automation of repetitive or commonly-used designs by developing new macros in house. Together, Together, the new incorporated features and the continuous in-house improvements provide Dragados Offshore with a greater competitive advantage, not only when bidding for new projects, but also in all their processes.

Implementation Implementing any new software solution is always likely to create disruption. With their heavy workload and tight project deadlines, Dragados Offshore chose to play the long game, implementing AVEVA Bocad progressively over two-and-a-half years. This phased approach proved very successful; the design team began to use the software, enjoying the benefits of the 3D model and design features, while experienced users shared their skills and needs with the AVEVA team on site, to create together a perfect tool to cover all offshore needs with little or no disruption to ongoing projects. Another advantage of this approach was that it provided the time to fully customise the software to meet Dragados Offshore’s specific requirements. AVEVA AVEVA worked with the company to detail the respective needs of the fabricator and the builder, deciding together which new features should be implemented into the software, and how AVEVA AVEVA Bocad’s deliverables could be configured to make their work easier, reducing errors from fabrication right through to completion. ‘It took a while to get internal buy-in,’ said Ramón Núñez, Engineering Director, Dragados Offshore. ‘We had to adapt our long-established ways of working. But it was clear to our management that we had to make the final switch to 3D, not only because we wanted to increase our efficiency, but also because our clients increasingly expect it and we want to continue growing our business. Once our designers saw the software and recognised its potential, they were convinced. Within a year,, we had 70 people fully year ful ly trained on AVEVA AVEVA Bocad and nowadays we have engineers able to program further customised macros for our needs.’

Project successes AVEVA Bocad has enabled Dragados Offshore to complete, on time and on budget, a series of extremely complex projects of unprecedented scale for major clients worldwide. These projects, outlined below, comprised both new-build and brownfield work, for hostile environments such as the North Sea or the Southern Atlantic Ocean.

Mariner: bigger than ever Statoil’s Mariner offshore field lies in water depths ranging between 97 and 112 metres, approximately 130 km off the British coast. Its production platform separates gas and water from the oil before piping it to an FSU vessel for storage and offloading to shuttle tankers. Dragados Offshore’s scope of work included all of the EPC work, mechanical completion, load-out and sea fastening of the 22,400 tonne Mariner jacket. Delivered in June 2015, this was the largest jacket ever built at Dragados Offshore’s Cadiz yard, and the largest ever commissioned by Statoil.

Vega Pleyade offshore project Vega Pleyade is a gas field located 20 km offshore Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The field is developed by Total Austral with one platform serving three dry gas wells and piping the gas to the onshore Rio Cullen plant. Dragados performed the complete EPC project of the normally unmanned wellhead platform, including full in-house detail design, covering pre-commissioning and commissioning of the wellhead platform topsides, four-legged jacket and piles.

Eldfisk 2/7S integrated platform As part of the Greater Ekofisk Area Development, operated by ConocoPhillips Scandinavia, Eldfisk 2/7S is an integrated platform comprising a 154-cabin accommodation module, a wellhead facility and a processing facility, all supported by an eight-leg jackett structure. jacke structure. Dragados Dragados completed completed all EPC work work on the the project, project, including onshore commissioning assistance, load-out and sea fastening of the 13,400 tonne jacket, 4,000 tonne bridge support jackett and piles. jacke piles.

Jasmine: old and new The Jasmine field, operated by ConocoPhillips UK, is located in blocks 30/6 and 30/7 in the British part of the North Sea. The project will harness the existing processing capacity of the nearby Judy platform, 240 km east of Aberdeen. The Jasmine development consists of a wellhead platform with 24 well slots, a bridge-linked accommodation platform, a multi-phase pipeline that links Jasmine and Judy, and a brand-new reception and separation platform at the Judy development, as well as modifications to Judy to process the additional fluids once Jasmine comes on line. Dragados undertook the construction and shop engineering of the project, partial procurement, fabrication, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, load-out and sea fastening of the Jasmine wellhead platform topsides (7,425 tonnes), Judy platform topsides (9,320 tonnes), Jasmine wellhead platform bridge (590 tonnes) and the Judy platform bridge (895 tonnes).

Results This cooperation between AVEVA Bocad and Dragados Offshore in increasing the program’s features soon showed its worth. The ability to exchange model data with structural analysis programs, and to create detailed, multi-discipline models and accurate layout drawings means better ownership of data, fewer clashes, less rework in construction and shorter schedules. Overall, faster and more efficient steel detailing and creation of fabrication deliverables save Dragados Offshore a considerable percentage of project time; project quality has also been improved. On-demand generation of shop-ready fabrication deliverables makes it possible to delay creation of drawings and CNC data until the last possible moment before fabrication must start. The maximum number of design optimisations can therefore be incorporated to achieve better quality in the fabricated parts and less rework in construction. AVEVA Bocad’s interoperability, both with AVEVA’s 3D design solutions and with third-party software, adds great value to Dragados Offshore’s projects. ‘It adds value because it allows design integration in the first phases of a project and makes it easier to work on difficult details. In addition, our clients normally work with PDMS and that creates synergies,’ continued Ramón Núñez. Companies using other systems can spend huge amounts of time manually editing 2D deliverables. But AVEVA Bocad’s fabrication drawings and CNC data are automatically generated and substantially subs tantially shop-ready. ‘AVEV ‘AVEVA A Bocad’s Boc ad’s CNC files have been optimised for all our CNC machines, and new output types were created to communicate with our automated beam, plate and pipe/tube cutting robots,’ Ramón Núñez explained. ‘This investment has greatly enhanced our performance by eliminating errors and enabling us to reliably deliver on time.’

while maintaining the flexibility to work to each client’s specific needs. It therefore needed a software solution that would continue to support it as its projects become ever larger, more complex and more diverse. AVEVA Bocad has proved its ability to do so and enables Dragados Offshore S.A. to deliver successfully impressive projects the world over. It is relevant to state that AVEVA’ AVEVA’s integrated design de sign and structural detailing solution (PDMS and Bocad) and the acquired experience of Dragados Offshore S.A together have provided maximum benefits from this powerful approach.

#AVEVAWorld

2015 Summit Review Putting the Summit in conte context xt The 2015 AVEVA World Summit was held in Dubai – The City of Innovation. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, recently announced the Dubai Innovation Strategy, making the city an even more appropriate setting for the AVEVA World Summit. Hosted at the elegant Grand Hyatt, the event attracted over 320 AVEVA customer delegates, representing 137 companies from 42 countries around the world. The Summit programme was designed specifically for senior managers and decision makers who have responsibility for strategic business operations. With attendees from EPCs, Owner Operators (OOs) and shipbuilders from across the process plant, power and marine industries, the Summit agenda provided valuable insights for all business needs.

Setting the stage The Summit keynote sessions were presented pres ented by Richard Longdon, AVEVA’ AVEVA’ss CEO, and Danny Forster, the Emmy-award-winning producer and host of the Discovery Channel’s ‘Build it Bigger’ series. Richard reinforced the importance of the Summit and the unique opportunity it creates for AVEVA to keep abreast of the evolving requirements of its customers and for us to work together to meet the increasingly complex challenges that we all face. He focused on the principle of providing access to critical project and operational information for all stakeholders throughout the asset life cycle and how this lies at the very heart of AVEVA’s Digital Asset approach. Danny Forster’s very engaging presentation capitalised on the theme of innovation, sharing his unique insights into the world of engineering. He began with a short history lesson on architectural design and quickly moved on to some intriguing contemporary buildings that directly reflect the environmental context in which they sit. Two excellent examples were the Al Hamra Tower in Kuwait and the Yas Viceroy Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The Al Hamra was designed to meet the unique climatic conditions of the gulf state, twisting the structure to shield its glass facade from the intense heat of the sun. This context-based design approach was also illustrated by the Yas Viceroy Hotel, with its amazing high-tech ‘armour’ that protects the building from direct sunlight while creating a flowing aesthetic that complements the adjacent F1 race track with amazing coloured light shows in the evenings. Both are strikingly beautiful buildings and excellent examples of how architects and engineers can together create structures that respond to the context of their environment.

Delivering innovation The importance of context within design and engineering, introduced by Danny Forster, was carried forward in the final AVEVA keynote session entitled ‘Delivering Innovation.’’ Presented Innovation. Prese nted by Dave Wheeldon, AVEV VEVA’ A’ss CTO, and his Solution Sol ution Strategy team, this session introduced four exciting new solutions that work together to provide individuals with the context-based information they need to make the right decisions. Using a theme of ‘Data – Information – Knowledge – Action’, delegates were given a unique insight ins ight into AVEVA VEVA’s ’s latest technology.

Representing the ‘Data’ element of the theme was the latest laser scanning technology that builds on AVEV AVEVA’ A’s BubbleView™ functionality functionali ty to create c reate an even more powerful HyperBubble™ capability. This connects individual BubbleViews to enable users to dynamically move through a laser scanned 3D rendering of an entire physical site. In addition, laser scanned content can now be removed or ‘demolished’ and replaced either with intelligent model components or with local re-scan data, following modifications, for example.

Information This led neatly to ‘Information’, which was illustrated by the latest release of AVEVA Everything3D™ (AVEVA E3D™). An enhanced user interface and seamless integration with the latest laser scanning tools means that users can easily include laser scanned data directly within their 3D model, giving context to the combined greenfield and brownfield environments. This is totally integrated within the design and engineering process, even enabling production drawings to include a mix of laser data and modelled information. The new laser and AVEVA E3D technologies would be powerful enough on their own, but the fact that they work together so harmoniously sets new standards for delivering comprehensive and contextual information that improves project quality and performance.

Knowledge This interesting session continued with a review of AVEVA’s unique hybrid Cloud strategy that supports incremental implementation of Cloud technology. Particularly in our industries, organisations have been hesitant to fully embrace Cloud technology for a wide variety of reasons. The AVEVA approach enables companies to overcome their concerns by supporting a combination of on-premises and Cloud deployments. You can roll out a Cloud environment to meet the pace of your own business, making the ‘Knowledge’ provided by AVEVA AVEVA’s software available when and where you need it. Delegates were also invited to participate in the recently launched AVEVA Experience™, a free Cloud-based training resource for AVEVA E3D. Those who register for AVEVA Experience will be given hands-on access to AVEVA E3D running in the Cloud. You can see for yourself the advanced capabilities of AVEVA E3D while evaluating the performance and flexibility of a Cloud environment.

Action But the highlight of this session was surely the formal launch of AVEVA Engage™, AVEVA’s powerful and intuitive decision support application. Using touch-screen technology, AVEVA Engage puts your 3D model and all of its associated Digital Asset content literally at your fingertips. Models can be explored and interrogated in real time, instantly presenting contextualised business-critical information. This groundbreaking new application improves the quality of decision making, enabling both project managers and asset operators to take rapid and accurate ‘Action.’ From Data to Action, AVEVA clearly demonstrated to the Summit audience its commitment to delivering innovation across the asset life cycle. More in-depth information on the subjects presented in the opening keynote was provided in later sessions, together with other AVEVA presentations on CAPEX optimisation, brownfield engineering, structural steel detailing, Enterprise Resource Management, and constructing a Digital Asset for operations and brownfield modifications.

Real-world customer stories AVEVA greatly values the very active participation of its customers each year at the Summit and 2015 was no exception. We had an impressive list of 20 customers and partners from around the world presenting their individual stories. EDF Energy-NNB Generation and Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy both shared their project and operational experiences in the nuclear power industry. Codelco, Sinopec, Suncor and Total reviewed their experiences of using AVEVA NET™ within their Information Management strategies across different industries and four different continents. Toshiba Plant Systems & Services, L&T Valdel Engineering and Technip Geoproduction also had insightful stories to tell about their use of AVEVA products to create an Integrated Engineering and Design strategy. Technip France and Petrofac presented on the modularisation of Mega Projects using applications such as AVEVA Engineering™, while Jacobs and D3SCOM discussed their use of laser scanning technology in brownfield operations. We were particularly pleased to have Shell share independent initiatives they have been working on to improve information standards in the OO industry, while Byzantec provided an overview of their experience with AVEVA’s recently acquired ProCon™ contract management software from 8over8. The marine-specific topics were equally enlightening, with presentations on Lean shipyard design and production from Sumitomo Heavy Industries and, on a related subject, Arctech focused on the benefits of Lean Construction using AVEVA Marine™. International Contract Engineering explained their use of AVEVA Global™ to control costs and integrate project teams across multiple continents, and EXMAR Offshore demonstrated their innovative approach to project optimisation on complex semi-submersible platforms and vessels. While the challenges and AVEVA product conversations were different for each customer, the theme of contextualisation continued to emerge as a key advantage. The project predictability and operational reliability achieved using AVEVA technology invariably came down to having the right information within a consistent context, enabling accurate and timely decisions.

‘The AVEVA product experience was fantastic.’ Shivanand Kurabetti, Jacobs

The interaction with AVEVA gave us the opportunity to create new opportunities for growth’ Kimberly Vaccaro, Orinox

Networking and exhibition Even though the Summit agenda was bursting with excellent sessions, there was still ample time for networking and technology demonstrations. An exhibition area, featuring software and hardware from AVEVA and its partners, was open during social activities, breaks and lunch, enabling delegates to get some hands-on time with the technology and make new industry contacts. The exhibition area buzzed with activity around demonstration areas for AVEVA software and from technology sponsors Capgemini, EMC, GF Piping Systems, Leica Geosystems, Orinox, Riegl and Trimble. However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the Microsoft 84-inch, 4K Surface Hub touch-screen running AVEVA Engage. This outstanding AVEVA World Summit brought the innovation story full circle, closing with the traditional look into the AVEVA technology laboratory to see what the future might m ight hold. Arne Winkler, AVEVA AVEVA’s ’s Deputy CTO, discussed technology trends and provided a glimpse into some of the exciting projects that AVEVA is exploring. It was an inspiring view of how we may be continuing to meet the needs and aspirations of our customers over the next five years.

‘This was really a session for getting motivation and to understand how other companies think, work and see the future. future.’’ Elinor Meling VisioNova

LLC ‘Lengiproneftechim’ is one of the leading providers of engineering services for Russia’s oil refinery and petrochemical industries. In 2009 Lengiproneftechim’s Executive Board launched a strategic programme of investment in world-class capabilities. c apabilities. Today Today, its extensive adoption of AVEV AVEVA A technology, combined with best-practice methodologies in engineering, design and project management, have made the company a committed and successful exponent of the Digital Asset approach in the Russian oil & gas engineering industry.


35

As part of the company’s long-term development strategy, Mikhail Lebedskoy-T Lebedskoy-Tambiev was appointed a ppointed to the position of General Director in 2012. He told us about the direction in which he and the Executive Board were taking the business, and the success they had already achieved. ‘In 2009, the Board decided to adopt AVEVA technology as the design platform to achieve their objectives in engineering and design capabilities. There were two main reasons for this. First, we had to move away from a piecemeal approach to design automation and establish the 3D model as the primary data source for all functional departments. The second reason was to achieve much more concurrent workflows, reduce the number of approvals bottlenecks and shorten project schedules. Together, these improvements would enable us to improve design quality and deliver better projects quickly and at a lower cost to clients,’ explained Mikhail. The strategy is clearly working. Today Lengiproneftechim counts a great many major Russian oil refineries as satisfied customers and Mikhail’s leadership was recently recognised by his being awarded the Russian Federation Government Prize for science and technology achievements. This success has been built on an extensive AVEVA deployment which includes AVEVA Everything3D™ (AVEVA E3D™), AVEVA Diagrams™, AVEVA Global™, AVEVA Instrumentation™, AVEVA Review™ and AVEVA NET Portal™. In addition to process, piping and instrumentation disciplines the company’s engineers customised their AVEVA E3D installation for structural and steelwork design to enable the construction department specialists to be fully involved in the 3D design process. Today, they are further expanding their AVEVA AVEV A toolset with AVEVA AVEVA Electrical™ Electr ical™ and AVEVA AVEVA Engineering™. Engineer ing™. Sergey Lebedev, AVEVA’s Area Operations Manager, Russia & CIS, told us, ‘Lengiproneftechim is a company focused on continual development and well aware that the better it serves its customers, the stronger its reputation in the EPC market. We are proud that AVEVA has become such a good partner to Lengiproneftechim and has contributed to its excellent reputation. The company’s success clearly illustrates the benefits to both contractor and client of Digital Assets created by design engineers. We often find that it is the ability to create and deliver a Digital Asset that is decisive when Owner Operators choose a design contractor, because its use saves time and cost both during the project and throughout the asset’s life cycle.’

‘We often find that it is the ability ‘We to create and deliver a Digital Asset that is decisive when Owner Operators choose a design contractor, because its use saves sav es time and cost both during the project and throughout the asset’s life cycle...’ 36


‘Yes,’ added Mikhail, ‘full integration of all digital model data and development processes is the basis of our entire business strategy.’ Alexandra Miroshnichenko, AVEVA’ AVEVA’ss Technical Manager, Ma nager, Russia & CIS, has worked closely with Lengiproneftechim and gave some insights into the company’s approach to its use of technology. ‘A distinctive feature of this very creative team is its thoughtful approach to all tasks,’ he explained. ‘Special attention is paid to automating the more routine procedures, so as to reduce engineers’ workloads and make it easier for them to achieve high quality, clash-free designs. Not only do they strive to use the full functionalities of each AVEVA application, they have also very carefully explored the integration between them. Properly designed workflows enable all the project participants to work in a unified information space, so that they can access relevant information, monitor changes and release accurate design documentation, as well as collaborate efficiently with other EPCs on joint projects. Lengiproneftechim has been one of the most striking examples of the successful implementation of AVEVA solutions in our region.’

Dmitry Pavlenko, Head of Lengiproneftechim’s CAD department agreed. ‘When creating the Combined Unit No. 4 model for the Tuapse refinery, we created our own utilities to automate many of our routine repetitive tasks. This saved significant time and allowed our designers to focus fully on the engineering tasks. This project was also the first time we tested AVEVA NET Portal for effective interaction with Owner Operators. We uploaded the Tuapse refinery project data and provided our customer with full access to the intelligent 3D model. They subsequently used this model for staff training and skills development.’ Mikhail added: ‘We need solution vendors offering an open approach that enables the integration of data regardless of what it was created in. That’s why we are so encouraged by working with AVEVA’ AVEVA’s specialists. speci alists. Increasingly, Inc reasingly, we find the use of 3D technologies for design and engineering data management is a key requirement when developing engineering projects. So we can see that investments in AVEVA solutions are investments in our sustainable future.’ Today oday,, Lengiproneftechim’s Lengiproneftechim’s management ma nagement is confident that tha t no challenge is beyond such a professional team. They are completely committed com mitted to AVEVA’ AVEVA’s Digital Asset approach approac h for plant engineering and have a clear vision for the company’s long-term development through a combination of leadingedge technology and a growing team of creative and highly motivated specialists.

Mikhail is justifiably proud of what the company has achieved under his leadership. ‘We have a lot to be proud of: a rich seventy-year history of industrial achievements and a highly qualified team who show extraordinary abilities and initiative. Today oday,, our integration of new technology with bestpractice working methods and modern management Mikhail LebedskoyLebedskoy-Tambiev Tambiev,, General practices has enabled us to Director at Lengiproneftechem.

CASE STUDY #AVEVAMarine

Deltamarin Poland Benefits by Migrating from Tribon to

AVEVA Marine Deltamarin’s office in Poland had been a long-established user of the Tribon™ design solution. However, as client demands continued to grow for more advanced and complex vessels, Deltamarin Poland quickly decided to migrate to AVEVA Marine™ to increase its capabilities and gain the efficiency advantages of a next-generation solution which was rapidly becoming the industry standard. Implementation

Results and business benefits

From the extensive AVEVA Marine product portfolio, Deltamarin Poland’s selection included AVEVA Hull Structural Design™, AVEVA Hull Detailed Design™ and AVEVA Surface Manager™. For piping, cabling and equipment layout they are using AVEVA Outfitting™, with AVEVA Marine Drafting™ being used for the creation of deliverables.

Almost immediately, AVEVA Marine enabled closer and easier collaboration between designers in Deltamarin Poland’s hull and piping departments. And, as one of the first users of AVEVA Outfitting, the company was able to be a front runner in developing valuable expertise.

AVEVA Marine also enables Deltamarin Poland to further develop its proprietary expertise through the easy development of custom macros to cater for specific project or user needs.

Various renderings of the Arctech NB510 icebreaker created using AVEVA software.

As hull and outfitting design are now tightly integrated, clashes can be quickly identified and eliminated, which streamlines the design process. AVEVA Marine also enables engineers from multiple locations to work on the same model; Deltamarin retains full control over the model as it develops.Throughout the workflow, AVEVA Marine increases efficiency and quality. It can automatically generate an easy-to-understand error report that enables Deltamarin Poland’s engineers to eliminate design mistakes before the fabrication stage. Deltamarin Poland has benefitted from offering its customers higher-quality production information in other ways as well: for example, they can now precisely define plate- and pipe-bending parameters according to the individual machines to be used. Standard construction elements, such as brackets, cut-outs, notches and clips can be easily created, while AVEVA Marine’s powerful parts-nesting application ensures that they can be efficiently cut from the minimum quantity of raw plate. This has reduced costly post-fabrication rework and materials wastage for Deltamarin Poland’s customers; a strong selling point for the design firm.

In their daily work, engineers can readily optimise the onscreen layout of toolbars and icons to cater for specific tasks or personal preferences. Deltamarin Poland can now speed up its design work through the use of a batch system for modelling structures. But, as design is by nature an iterative process, AVEVA Marine also makes it easy to progressively refine a design by changing pipe sizes and specifications, and easily adjusting equipment positions and pipe routings.

Key projects Deltamarin Poland, together with Deltamarin Finland, has prepared the 3D model of machinery, piping and outfitting for Arctech’s NB510 icebreaker. Due for delivery in 2016, the vessel will be operated by the Finnish Transport Agency in the Baltic and will be the first LNG-powered icebreaker ever built. The vessel will be able to move continuously through ice up to 1.6 m thick, and the service speed of the vessel in open water will be 16 knots. Other important projects include: z

#AVEVAE3D

Strik St riking ing a Ric Rich h Vein How new functionality in AVEVA Everything3D will help the mining industry survive tough times

40


Minerals mining and processing has an undeserved image of being an unsophisticated, low-tech industry. Today, nothing could be further from the truth. Profitably winning increasing quantities of primary commodities against a backdrop of falling world prices, less accessible resources and increasingly stringent environmental constraints demands very sophisticated engineering. Sound familiar? If you work in the oil & gas industry it certainly will, and most other primary producers have long faced similar challenges.

Meeting these challenges has driven the development of increasingly powerful engineering and design software. AVEVA AVEVA’s flagship multi-discipline design software, AVEVA Everything3D™ (AVEVA E3D™), enables the most productive integrated engineering and design processes for the power, oil & gas and process plant industries. Now its latest release has added a wide range of tools that are specifically designed for the mining and minerals industries and which will give them a much-needed boost in capabilities, efficiency and productivity.


41

Above: AVEVA E3D’s mining ribbon bar for creation, modification and manipulation of conveyor arrangements and other parametric equipment.

It could hardly come at a better time; commodity prices have been falling since 2010. When you cannot control your output prices you can only survive by driving down your costs. This means focusing on core business, increasing productivity and efficiency in existing operations, carefully selecting new projects and executing these on time and on budget. AVEVA E3D’s new features support this strategy in the vital minerals industries.

Sounds great, but what is it?

Above and below: AVEVA E3D includes different conveyor arrangements design with a friendly and comprehensive interface.

Above: Imported terrain to create an AVEVA E3D object – with contour lines – that is modifiable and reportable.

42


Part of AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering & Design (IE&D) solution, AVEVA E3D combines the latest 3D graphics, laser scanning and user interface technologies with state-of-the-art data management to deliver the most comprehensive, productive and tightly integrated 3D design solution available. Extremely powerful, but quick to learn and easy to use, it enables fully clash-free designs to be created accurately and efficiently, ensuring minimal rework on site. For our mining customers, this productivity is now increased with new features that include: z

A utility for conveyor conveyor design that creates basic conveyor arrangements directly from calculation reports. With a friendly, intuitive interface for adjusting design options and parameters, it enables rapid preliminary conveyor sizing and bulk handling estimates. Belt conveyors can be quickly modelled within the 3D environment and orientated in any direction. Drawings and Bills of Materials (BOMs) are generated within minutes instead of days.

z

Parametric templates for for the efficient design of the most common types of chutes, hoppers and major pieces of equipment. Simply by choosing appropriate options and setting key parameters, a designer can save many hours as the software automatically generates the new equipment item in the design project. The time this saves enables easier evaluation of alternative layouts and faster initial cost estimates. The use of a shared database enables equipment, chutes or hoppers to be created once and then reused (or adapted) as needed on any number of projects. Unnecessary design duplication and redrawing are eliminated.

Terrain modelling. Unlike other kinds of project, mining projects are inherently a feature of their surrounding landscape. AVEVA E3D now reflects this by enabling a designer to work with both the engineering design and the terrain itself in the same 3D design environment. The terrain can be marked up with civil infrastructure, cuts, fills and other relevant information. Drawings can be extracted with elevations and tagged contour curves.

For the engineering enginee ring contractor, AVEVA AVEVA E3D provides competitive advantage, enabling a project to be delivered more quickly and at lower cost. Those who specialise in minerals processing projects will benefit from building up a proprietary resource of parametric design modules that can be readily reused. Contractors tackling a mining project for the first time will find the specialist features a valuable means of reducing risk on an unfamiliar type of project.

AVEVA E3D is interoperable with AVEVA AVEVA AVEVA Bocad™, enabling structural standards and fabrication design details to be effortlessly exchanged between the two systems. This saves time in fabrication detailing and enables the early elimination of steelwork design clashes, accurate steel BOM estimates and accurate fabrication.

For the mine operator, benefits begin to accrue from being able to achieve full production earlier. But handling and processing facilities need continual, and often quite extensive, modification and upgrade, both because a mine changes physically and because the characteristics of the ore can change as the pit is worked. Such projects can be quite disruptive, so executing them quickly requires both efficient tools and an accurate knowledge of the as-operating facility. Often, the existing installation has no 3D model to work with. This limitation can now be overcome at low cost by 3D scanning, creating new design in AVEVA E3D and incorporating the scan view directly into the 2D construction drawings, using the new Laser in Draw™ function. The result is that an expansion or modification project can be planned with confidence and executed with minimal disruption to the mine’s output.

z

Laser technology An important capability that AVEVA E3D provides is to exploit the rich data that can be obtained by 3D laser scanning. As scanners have become ever more versatile, powerful, easy to use and affordable, AVEVA and LFM Software have led the way with similar advances in the software to take advantage of them. AVEVA E3D integrates photorealistic laser scans (known as BubbleViews™) in the 3D design environment, enabling a designer to align 3D model elements accurately with existing installations. This offers many advantages. For example, fabrication must often take place at considerable distances from the operational site. The costs and delays of incorrect fabrication can therefore seriously hamper a project. AVEVA E3D’s support for laser scanning means that fabrications can be scanned quickly and cheaply at the fabricator site and the data sent directly to the design team for verification against the 3D model. Any necessary corrections can be made quickly and cheaply before dispatch to site, enabling right-first-time construction.

Mining the benefits AVEVA E3D’s new industry-specific utilities, functions, templates, catalogues and terrain functions immediately remove the need for time-consuming workarounds to overcome the limitations of general-purpose CAD systems. This alone saves valuable time and cost, not only in the design phase but also in the fabrication and construction phases, because better-quality deliverables and more accurate BOMs can be created directly from the definitive 3D model. Importantly, it also enables pre-feasibility work to be carried out more quickly and thoroughly, reducing commercial risk. By integrating topographic data and civil engineering into the 3D model, errors due to miscommunication between the disciplines is reduced and the overall layout can incorporate essential features such as access roads, or obstacles such as rivers. But it also enables the more effective presentation of a project proposal to key stakeholders such as investors, regulatory authorities, local, regional or national governments, or local communities. This capability is now made even more effective with the introduction of AVEVA Engage™, which provides powerful hands-on manipulation and interrogation of a complex 3D model and its associated engineering information.

Above: Major mining equipment inside AVEVA E3D’s design template library with customisable parameters.

Taking mining into a new era The minerals processing industry is becoming increasingly sophisticated and efficient through the application of innovative technologies in many areas. Now AVEVA E3D brings to it many powerful design and engineering tools pioneered and proven in demanding sectors such as oil & gas, complemented by dedicated functions specially developed for its unique needs. The minerals industry is an important part of AVEVA’s customer community and is vital to the global economy. This exciting advance in our flagship software product demonstrates our commitment to this industry, which will continue to gain even more capabilities capabi lities from AVEVA technology. technology.

How AVEVA’s Solutions Have Revolutionised the Way the Industry Works Innovation, Innov ation, a competitive competitive advantage for Tekfen Tekfen Engineering Keeping in regular contact with our customers is essential, both to ensure that they are able to make full and effective use of our products and to understand how AVEVA can support their business aspirations. It also means that we learn quickly of the successes that AVEVA AVEVA technology has brought them. Tekfen Tekfen Engineering is a multi-disciplinary Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) contractor and the largest engineering company in Turkey Turkey.. The company maintains its leadership leader ship in this sector by continually investing in software and engineering tools to handle increasingly demanding projects. It therefore became an early adopter of AVEVA Everything3D™ (AVEVA (AVEVA E3D™). Two years on, we were impressed to learn from Mr Tolga Timirci, Plant Layout and Piping Department Manager at Tekfen, of the success that this quickly brought them.

This investment made m ade Tekfen Tekfen the first fir st EPCM in Turkey Turkey to offer integrated laser scanning and 3D design as part of its capabilities. ‘AVEV AVEVA A E3D and LFM’s laser scanning software s oftware have revolutionised the way we work,’ explained Mr Timirci. ‘Being able to work with such integrated solutions makes the design and construction process much easier.’

The new AVEVA technology quickly began to play a key role in Tekfen ekfen’’s business. business . AVEVA AVEVA E3D brought capabilities that enabled Tekfen’s designers to interact with 3D models in ways not previously possible. The ability for the designers to work with the laser scan and the 3D model in the same environment has ensured they can see exactly how the new plant or modification will match with the existing site situation. This means that any potential problems are solved in the design office long before they reach the construction site. The full software migration gave Tekfen new opportunities to improve its processes, delivering excellent results on a number of important plant projects. Mr Timirci explained how.

‘In the past, during the construction process we used to have to send two, three or even four members of our team on site, doing jobs such as revisions and piping changes manually,’ he began.

From left: Emre Özsoy, AVEVA Country Manager; Alparslan Güre, Tekfen General Manager, and Tolga Timirci, Tekfen Plant Layout and Piping Department Manager.

‘In many cases, we found that trying to solve one problem just created another one. A common example was, when going to install a pipe, no one knew exactly where the next pipe would be, which could cause major disruptions and long hours of work to solve the problem. Now a single series of scans can be produced quickly and cost-effectively; these scans can then be brought back into the 3D modelling environment to enable the designer to see the exact site situation. These new and more efficient design tools have reduced inconsistencies and data loss, helping us to move projects more quickly into production with far less on-site problem solving and rework. ‘Nowadays, the whole process is very smooth, organised, and more cost- and time-effective. Revision work has decreased and the quality of the work has increased. And because we are able to have a broader view of the whole project in advance, we can anticipate many potential problems and put a plan into action to avoid or solve them without causing any disruption or delays. BubbleView™ enables us not just to spot problems but, if there are any, it also helps us plan how to overcome them,’ Mr Timirci added.

Measurable benefits of using AVEVA E3D Mr Timirci went on to highlight a number of impressive benefits that Tekfen had gained, including: z z z z z

A 60% reduction in engineering man-hours for drawing production on an NPK plant revamp. Shaving three months off the survey time on a project. About 30% less on-site rework rework compared to similar previous projects. Significantly reduced installation errors by using AVEVA Review™ Review™ in the design stage. Reduction of potential Health & Safety hazards arising from engineering decisions being based on incomplete or inaccurate information. New standards have have been set for delivering comprehensive and contextual information that improves project quality and performance.

‘AVEVA has represented a great investment for us, us,’’ continued Mr Timirci, ‘as it is constantly innovating, bringing new solutions and new updates which have enabled us to respond to our customers’ demands for having integrated software. This is why over the years we have progressively adopted a number of AVEVA AVEVA’s Integrated Engineering & Design solutions, solutio ns, such as AVEVA AVEV A Diagrams™, Dia grams™, AVEVA Instrumentation™, AVEV AVEVA A Electrical™ El ectrical™ and now AVEVA AVEVA E3D. We will soon start to also use us e AVEVA AVEVA Engineering™. ‘So we have now achieved seamless integration across multiple disciplines, from engineering to the design process. I am particularly excited by our new ability to create construction drawings that include a mixture of laser scanned and modelled information’, he concluded.

Key projects Tekfen uses multiple AVEVA solutions when managing greenfield and brownfield projects across a wide range of areas within the upstream/downstream oil & gas, pipeline and power plants and infrastructure sectors. The Toros Tarim Samsun fertiliser plant development in Tekkeköy, Turkey, was one of Tekfen’s most significant projects. Representing an investment of over USD 300 million, it began in 2012 and was completed in 2016. The project scope included new sulphuric and phosphoric acid plants, which involved the revamping of the existing nitrogen, phosphorus and pottassium (NPK) plant, the addition of raw material handling systems, a new sulphur and phosphate storage warehouse, and interconnected piping.

About Tekfen Engineering Established in 1984, Tekfen Engineering is a multi-disciplinary EPCM company active in the oil & gas, power plant and infrastructure industries. Having enjoyed increasing demand for its services since 2010, particularly on brownfield projects, Tekfen Engineering’s main challenge was to maintain its competitive advantage by continually improving the speed, quality and profitability of its projects. In order to keep ahead of this challenge, Tekfen Engineering migrated to AVEVA AVEVA E3D, becoming Turkey’s first provider of 3D laser scanning services within the plant engineering sector. The company completed its first laser scan project in 2013. To find out more, visit www.tekfenengineering.com.tr .
