Building Information Modeling provides plant professionals the ability to create and manage all their project information throughout the asset’s lifecycle enabling them to gain insights earlier, enhance multidisciplinary team coordination, and minimize data loss and inaccuracy.
BIM for plant
Bring your projects online with integrated tools. Take advantage of comprehensive 3D models to enhance productivity, team collaboration, and efficiencies throughout the project lifecycle.
What is BIM for plant design?
BIM across the project lifecycle
Accelerate design processes
Use reality capture and 3D visualizations to accelerate modeling and get brownfield and turnkey projects off the ground more quickly.
Connect 3D design tools
Create intelligent 3D models for site preparation, structural design and detailing, building design, piping and equipment layout. Enhance and integrate multidisciplinary collaboration and minimize data loss across your project.
Integrate visualization and analysis
Conduct stress and flow analysis, and that validate your designs meet architectural and structural requirements. Optimize design quality and keep your project on schedule.
Improve project delivery
Connect design and construction teams to improve construction coordination. Reduce risks and enhance maintenance and operations through a single model.
