Case Study: AREVA achieves on-time delivery of a landmark EPR and global multi-site collaboration with AVEVA Plant IMS

AVEVA-powered IMS helps world leader in nuclear power deliver landmark EPR project to Finland, and not long after, the rest of the world

Areva, a world leader in nuclear power, faced fragmented engineering workflows and difficulty managing layout and erection/installation drawings across multiple locations for the landmark Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) EPR project. To unify processes and improve quality checks for hundreds of engineers, Areva implemented an integrated IMS built on AVEVA Plant products, including PDMS, Plant Suite, VPE P&ID, VPE Workbench and VPRM.

Using AVEVA solutions, Areva produced over 800 fully intelligent P&IDs, supported up to 450 simultaneous PDMS users, automated piping isometrics and MTOs, and ensured consistently up-to-date design data at all sites—enabling on-time delivery of OL3 and helping Areva win additional EPR projects in Finland, France, China, Japan and the United States. AVEVA’s integrated toolset also improved concurrent engineering, materials management and construction-site workflows, delivering measurable gains in quality, consistency and project scalability.
