Case Study: Atkins achieves 40% faster design efficiency with AVEVA E3D (AVEVA)

Australian Atkins must keep itself competitive in the world market by delivering more value to clients. AVEVA technologies help it reach that goal

Atkins, a global design, engineering and project management consultancy, faced tight schedules and costly brownfield projects in Western Australia where incomplete as‑built data and high operating costs made fast, accurate deliverables essential. To adopt Lean methods around 3D laser scanning and ensure tight point‑cloud integration while meeting industry standards, Atkins selected AVEVA and its AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) solution.

Using AVEVA E3D, Atkins moved away from AutoCAD/PDMS-only workflows, integrated laser-scan data, and adopted modular, collaborative design processes—delivering the Varanus Island Compression Project design in 13 weeks, increasing design efficiency by 40%, and enabling global deployments in days rather than months. AVEVA’s solution reduced site-survey scope, improved design quality, and helped Atkins become more competitive in the world market.
