Turkish delight for Aveva
11 Nov 2014
Turkey’s largest multidisciplinary Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor Tekfen Engineering has migrated to Aveva’s 3D design software, Everything3D (E3D).
Tekfen Engineering president Alparslan Gure said using Aveva E3D would increase his company’s competitive advantage.
“We have long recognised that Aveva’s software is the industry standard for engineering and design,” said Gure.
“We have been impressed with Aveva PDMS for many years; our migration to Aveva E3D is a strategic investment to future-proof our business in the face of shortening project deadlines and higher expectations from our clients in terms of design outputs. Increasingly, our projects span continents and time zones, so the collaboration capabilities of Aveva E3D will also help us to ensure that all stakeholders have the right information at the right time.”
Aveva chief technical officer Dave Wheeldon said E3D provided a “powerful tool” for customers to visualise their 3D designs and that it would “enable them to eliminate costly project rework”.
Tekfen’s use of laser scanning technology integrates seamlessly into Aveva E3D, allowing their designers to quickly and easily understand the existing situation at the fabrication yard and/or construction site, and adjust their design work accordingly.
These capabilities are especially valuable in brown-field projects, and help ensure that the required plant modifications can be designed and implemented more quickly and with greater accuracy than ever before, reducing both project schedule and plant downtime.
