The Year in Infrastructure 2008 - (Page 62) InnovatIon In IndustrIal FacIlItIes Saankhya TechNeering Private Limited Industrial Structures Bangalore, India this multifaceted project involved designing several industrial structures, including a coal drying unit, acid recovery plant, and refractory shed. The primary challenge facing the design team was finding an alternative to manual drawing methods for multiple load parameter and design iterations when performing client-requested changes. Using STAAD.Pro, load data and foundation design parameters for various units were compiled. The structural frames were then analyzed for seismic load bearings. Using AutoPLANT’s 3D modeling capabilities, engineers developed the steel members and produced shop drawings of the layout beams, columns, and bracings based on customer specifications. Bentley 3D modeling saved approximately 25 percent man-hours over the course of the design.

Because the number of document transfers exceeded the functionality of the system, transporting document folders and drawing information across the project team became complicated. The project team deployed ProjectWise as the collaboration server and access-control system and implemented AutoPLANT to create intelligent 2D and 3D drawings. The seamless collaboration system allowed plant engineers to find and verify data quickly without producing hard copies. ProjectWise’s data sharing and exchange capabilities ensured the delivery of required information to the right team member when needed. Visualizations produced by Bentley’s AutoPLANT software enabled the project team to fully manage project transmittals and deliver the project to the client within the given time frame. 2008 bE AwARdS oF ExCEllENCE ALSO NOMINATED IN SpEcIAL cATEgOry: cONNEcTINg prOjEcT TEAMS SpEc EcIAL cATE cONNE p OjE TEAMS jEc 62
