SmartPlant Enterprise and offshore engineering projects
Saravanan Birla · NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives · 2013
Agility Group is an offshore engineering company that is implementing an integrated environment for the design and construction of their offshore projects despite their inherent differences.The aim of this research paper is to determine whether SmartPlant is a suitable tool for use in Agility Group for future complex offshore projects where the time frame of the project is short and project integration is complex.SmartPlant (and its 3D component "S3D") is a state-of-the-art plant design system developed by Intergraph.It supports all disciplines that are involved in plant, offshore and marine installations.Because offshore projects generally involve most or not all disciplines, and the need for integration is the most important, it was selected as the basis for this analysis.
