Case Study: Toyo Engineering achieves 30% faster engineering and sets new Malaysian concrete standards with Bentley's STAAD Advanced Concrete Design

Toyo Pioneers STAAD Advanced Concrete Design to Deliver Its Largest Ethylene Plant Project

Toyo Engineering was contracted to deliver Malaysia’s largest liquid-based greenfield ethylene plant, requiring detailed, multidisciplinary engineering across global teams while meeting new European design codes and local Malaysian annexures on an aggressive 18-month schedule. To meet these challenges, Toyo adopted Bentley’s STAAD.Pro and STAAD Advanced Concrete Design for integrated structural analysis, automated checks, and standardized deliverables.

Bentley’s integrated STAAD technology synchronized models and automated complex checks (including 700+ load combinations and the “Merge Levels” command), enabling iterative design optioneering and faster drawing/report generation. The Bentley solution cut engineering resource hours by 30%, accelerated construction sequencing to save an additional 10% in construction time, allowed completion within 18 months, and helped establish new country standards for concrete design.
