AVEVA and Bilfinger Berger Power Services Intensify Their Cooperation
AVEVA GmbH announced that Bilfinger Berger Power Services GmbH (BBPS) has extended its contract for AVEVA PDMS.
Against a background of increasing worldwide demand for energy, BBPS has been very successful in winning business for extending and modernising power plants both at home and abroad. This year alone the building and services group has won contracts in the energy sector totalling EUR300 million. These projects involve services and construction work on coal-fired power plants such as at Karlsruhe, Lunen, Mannheim and Moorburg in Germany and at Belchatov in Poland, as well as on nuclear power plants such as Olkiluoto in Finland. BBPS is delivering and installing special high-pressure pipelines and plant components to customers who increasingly expect more detailed engineering work from BBPS on such projects.
In order to carry out this work more efficiently and at the same time satisfy the exacting requirements made by installation companies in terms of the design and construction specifications, BBPS recently signed a new contract that allows for overall increased use of AVEVA PDMS. "We are already using AVEVA PDMS on several large-scale projects at a total of seven locations, and have to date achieved a significant increase in the quality of our engineering work," explained Thomas Appel, Head of the BHR Hochdruck-Rohrleitungsbau GmbH subsidiary in Frankfurt.
As a partner of the energy industry, Bilfinger Berger Power Services has been active in increasing the efficiency of new power plants and those requiring modernisation, as well as supporting its customers in fulfilling increasingly stringent environmental and climate-protection requirements. To achieve this, the company is investing in cutting-edge high-tech machine technology and engineering IT software from AVEVA, the leading supplier of engineering IT systems for the plant and marine industries.
Helmut Schuller, Managing Director, AVEVA DACH, said: "BBPS have everything going right for them; from extending the use of AVEVA PDMS, to having employees with the right skill set. This will enable BBPS to ensure that their projects are efficiently executed within the shortest time frame and with the highest quality."
