Fluor® Corporation of Irving, Texas, an Intergraph® customer and one of the world's leading engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance companies, continues to implement Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise solutions as its project platform for an increasing number of its global projects.
Fluor, an Intergraph customer for more than 30 years, relies on proper planning, training and business mindset to successfully deploy SmartPlant Enterprise, an integrated solutions suite that provides full design, construction and engineering data management capabilities for the creation, maintenance and safe operation of large-scale process projects. Fluor currently has 22 ongoing projects that are using SmartPlant technology.
Intergraph and Fluor signed a five-year Global Alliance Agreement (GAA) together. The agreement covers the Intergraph SmartPlant and SmartMarine Enterprise software suites, including SmartPlant 3D, PDS®, SmartPlant Foundation, SmartPlant P&ID, SmartPlant Instrumentation among numerous other Intergraph solutions.
"Intergraph's solutions have been a part of our project execution toolbox for many years, helping us deliver superior capital projects to our clients," said Peter Moore, Fluor's vice president of Project Execution Services. "The SmartPlant Enterprise suite and automation capabilities help us to maximize a distributed project environment by enforcing consistency in the project set-up and execution processes."
Fluor currently has more than 850 people trained in the SmartPlant 3D and SmartPlant Foundation solutions, with the majority of those employees located in the Asia-Pacific region. "Regardless of the technology, our designers have to be proficient with our project execution tools," Moore said. "We have developed a robust training and support structure to support our workforce in getting the best product out of these tools for our clients."
