Program speeds the execution of brownfield projects
Aveva Solutions
Aveva Everything3D 2.1 (Aveva E3D; photo) builds on the software’s proven ability to deliver time and cost savings for brownfield and revamp projects, helping to increase productivity for engineering, procurement and construction (EPCs) and owner-operators. Enhanced capabilities, such as PointCloud demolition and the ability to dislay laser data directly on drawings, enable designers to interact with 3-D models in ways that have not previously been possible, says the company. The software’s enhanced user interface helps to reduce the learning curve and move projects more quickly into production. Aveva E3D includes the introduction of HyperBubble technology, which is said to allow the user to work in a fully immersed, as-built environment. For many projects, the software’s capabilities can reduce the need to remodel existing plants prior to revamps, and limit the need to generate numerous drawings (which cuts labor requirements). — Aveva Solutions Ltd., Cambridge, U.K.
