Leading New Zealand hydrocarbons engineering company ITL has selected Intergraph® CADWorx® Plant Professional plant design software to deliver all new projects going forward.
ITL made the switch to CADWorx Plant Professional from a competitor product after evaluating a range of plant design software packages against criteria that included cost-effectiveness, features and usability.
"After an extensive evaluation exercise, one of the main deciding factors for us was that Intergraph has made considerable investments to advance CADWorx over the past few years, rather than just maintain it," said Garnett Henderson, ITL's design office manager. "We haven't seen that with many other vendors.
"We also like the admin setup for CADWorx Plant Professional," Henderson added. "The majority of our jobs are relatively small, and CADWorx does not assume you want to link every document in a project together out of the box. You can get up and running quickly on small projects, and choose to add the integration of the project database's as you require."
As ITL was already using Intergraph ISOGEN®, and PV Elite®, an Intergraph product used for vessel and exchanger design and analysis, CADWorx Plant Professional's compatibility with these two solutions was also a major factor in the decision.
Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "We are pleased to welcome ITL to Intergraph and look forward to working with them to deliver critical projects to New Zealand's hydrocarbon, petrochemical and marine industries."
