AVEVA announced today that AP Consultoria e Projetos (AP), a leading Engineering Design company in Brazil, has standardised on AVEVA software. AP has made the investment to move from using 2D drawings to designing in 3D using AVEVA PDMS in order to improve the efficiency of its design process and produce comprehensive plant models. It will also benefit from powerful 3D visualisation capabilities using AVEVA Review. With the deployment of the AVEVA software, AP will benefit from more accurate, higher quality design that avoids costly on-site rework and improved project delivery schedules. AP will use the AVEVA 3D design software across a range of industries including: Oil & Gas, Mining and Chemical. ‘AVEVA is one of the most recognised names within the engineering and design market place for 3D design software, and is in demand by owner operators and Engineering, Procurement, Construction companies alike’, said Alfredo Americano da Costa, CEO of AP. ‘We recognised the need to switch from 2D to 3D design in order to improve design efficiency and AVEVA’s 3D plant technology offered us an agile and reliable working environment.
We are able to easily work together with third-party tools in order to access legacy engineering and design data. ‘With AVEVA PDMS we feel more in control and can avoid unnecessary errors between the different design disciplines as we have all the project information in one place. There is enormous potential for this information to bring significant benefits during both plant operation and maintenance.’ ‘3D design consistency is critical for complex projects such as those undertaken by AP’, added Evgeny Fedotov, Senior Vice President - EPC and Marine, AVEVA. ‘AVEVA enables flexible and effective 3D design and collaborative working, which improves project efficiency, schedule and cost. It is rewarding to see how AVEVA’s 3D software solutions have become a de facto standard for many of the industries we serve’.
