Advantica relieves stress with CADWorx & CAESAR II

As a leading global energy-related infrastructure services company, Advantica has one of the most advanced research and development capabilities in the world. Advantica is dedicated to improving operating performance for the onshore and offshore oil and gas industries.

The Health and Safety Executive requires comprehensive documentation for all new and existing process plant. Rob Cameron and his colleagues were tasked to find a 3D plant design application to improve the speed and quality of the team's output. The team determined that bringing the TD/12-compliant pipe stress analysis in-house via CAESAR II could save time, increase quality and retain control.

The most immediate and lasting benefit of CADWorx and CAESAR II has been efficiency.

Hanover(GB) Ltd saves time and money with CADWorx

Hanover(GB) Ltd can trace its origins back to 1893 in the south west USA. The company was founded as an ironwork and structural steel fabrication shop, and developed its own line of galvanized steel-bolted storage tanks. Initially used for water, the tanks were soon used by operators in the rapidly expanding oilfields of Oklahoma and Texas for the storage of crude oil.

Since then, Hanover (GB) Ltd, part of the billion-dollar turnover Houston-based Hanover Compressor Company, has emerged as a worldwide leader in the engineering and manufacture of skid-mounted process equipment for the oil processing industry. With a staff of nearly 100, Hanover (GB) Ltd. continues to provide engineering, design, fabrication, installation and commissioning of its complete range of oil & gas production equipment and processing plants. 

To help achieve this and to meet the tight deadlines it uses CADWorx from COADE.
"With CADWorx, we only have to build one 3D model. We know all the views will be accurate."

Briggs of Burton delivers prestige brewery on time with CADWorx software

The Briggs Group is involved in Brewing & Distilling, Food, Pharmaceuticals and Health & Beauty, providing process engineering designs for a number of the World’s leading companies.

Briggs decision to change its design software was market driven; they wanted additional functionality, increased sophistication and improved efficiency. The switch to CADWorx was straightforward as there no major difference between the CADWorx interface and AutoCAD, other than the significant productivity gains.

CADWorx IP allows engineers and other interested parties to see exactly what they will get, long before they get it. There is a major impact on time-scales and the quality of the design.

Briggs now offers clients "intelligent solutions" and associated 3D models by using COADE’s CADWorx Plant Professional and CADWorx P&ID Professional.

One of the most challenging projects to date was a major project for a brewer in North America. Find out how the right software, training, and working on the project as a team, led to the successful completion of the project by downloading the full Briggs Case Study.

PV Elite helps Godrej achieve compliance and rapid completion

Since its formation in 1897, Godrej has grown into an international powerhouse manufacturer and supplier of a broad array of goods. The Godrej Process Equipment Division (Godrej PED) manufactures process equipment for end users in the refining, petrochemical, fertilizer, oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceutical and power industries.

Recently, Godrej PED embarked on the largest single piece of equipment ever undertaken by the company, weighing in at 882 tons (800 metric tonne). Because of previous experience with COADE PV Elite and CodeCalc, the company knew that it could rely on these tools to not only perform engineering designs according to the international standards, but also produce mechanical designs and code calculations and inputs for fabrication drawings.

Find out how PV Elite has helped Godrej PED not only delivered what clients require but has also significantly reduced the time taken on code calculations and essential wind and seismic analyses in the full Godrej Case Study.
