Case Study: Kellogg, Brown and Root streamlines civil design integration with 12d Solutions

Kellogg, Brown and Root - Customer Case Study

Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) faced a challenge during the design of a gas plant in Indonesia. Their plant design software, PDMS, did not natively support civil engineering components like roads and ground surfaces, preventing other disciplines from performing clash detection. The process to export civil designs from 12d Solutions' 12d Model software into PDMS was manual, time-consuming, and prone to error, hindering efficient redesigns.

12d Solutions developed a custom macro to automate the workflow between 12d Model and PDMS. This solution significantly reduced the manual CAD editing required and shortened the turnaround time for civil design updates. The result was a streamlined process that allowed KBR's multi-disciplinary teams to access the latest civil engineering data efficiently, enabling them to complete their mission-critical design elements with greater accuracy.
