Case Study: Vista Projects achieves 16% under‑budget project delivery with AVEVA Integrated Engineering & Design

AVEVA software helps a Canadian engineering firm complete projects at 16% under budget with new, faster technology

Vista Projects, a Calgary-based engineering contractor specializing in heavy oil and SAGD projects, faced unreliable, error-prone manual workflows, siloed teams, and the risk of budget and schedule overruns while delivering FEED for a large greenfield project. To address these challenges the company adopted AVEVA solutions, including AVEVA Integrated Engineering & Design (AVEVA IE&D) and AVEVA NET, to replace spreadsheet-based processes and improve cross-discipline collaboration and data management.

Using AVEVA’s integrated suite (AVEVA IE&D plus modules such as AVEVA Electrical, Instrumentation, E3D and P&ID), Vista consolidated near-live project data, validated business logic, and broke down silos to speed handovers and reduce rework. AVEVA’s platform delivered a 10–15% reduction in engineering man‑hours during FEED, saved hundreds of man‑hours per project, improved data accuracy and security, enhanced collaboration, and helped Vista complete the project 16% under budget.
