AVEVA announced that Techflow Engineering, the 3D modelling and detailed engineering service company, has made a major investment in AVEVA Bocad structural steel design software. The agreement will see Techflow’s team of detailers expanded to give customers a greater offering for complex projects, including the Offshore and AEC market.
‘We have been admirers of the Bocad structural steel solution for some time and selected it for a number of reasons,’ said Uday Khandekar, President, Techflow. ‘We need software that can handle large capital projects, along with elaborate, aesthetically-focused steel structures. AVEVA is a very strong brand, particularly within the offshore sector and Bocad has a long-standing reputation with the AEC market. Together they offer us new market opportunities, along with the capability to meet customer’s increasingly complex requirements.’
‘Techflow’s investment in AVEVA Bocad gives them the ability to work on large, complex projects in-house, a key differentiator in the fabricator market,’ added Richard Brotherton, VP Sales, Fabrication sector, AVEVA. ‘AVEVA Bocad offers faster and more efficient steel detailing and creation of fabrication deliverables. We’ve seen many examples where our customers have saved 30–40% on overall project time. The adoption of AVEVA Bocad is therefore clever business planning since its advanced technical capabilities will enable Techflow to maximise future opportunities in the Offshore and AEC space. Techflow’s first project with AVEVA Bocad will be an offshore platform to be constructed in Dubai.’
AVEVA Bocad is integrated with AVEVA’s solution portfolio. This integration will enable Techflow to benefit from enhanced collaboration between the design model and the detail design model. This will provide more control, visibility, change management, communication and clash checking that can reduce costly errors, rework and schedule overruns.
