Case Study: The Fourth Research and Design Engineering Corporation of CNNC achieves integrated BIM and Plant multi-discipline collaboration and faster project delivery with Bricsys (BricsCAD BIM & CADWorx)

Combining BricsCAD BIM and CADworx for Plant Design

The Fourth Research and Design Engineering Corporation of CNNC, the largest metallurgical design unit in New China with a Pharmaceutical and Chemical Research and Design Institute, faced persistent multi-discipline collaboration challenges: previous BIM tools were not compatible with Plant solutions for complex pipeline and process designs. To address this, they selected Bricsys and implemented BricsCAD BIM combined with CADWorx for integrated 3D pipeline and multidisciplinary design workflows.

Bricsys delivered a single-platform solution that integrated 2D/3D design and CADWorx-based pipeline modeling, enabling faster collaborative design, higher 3D design quality, and reduced rework in later project stages. Using Bricsys’ BricsCAD BIM with CADWorx, the team met tight construction schedules for a major pharmaceutical client, shortened collaborative design cycles, and lowered downstream workload while benefiting from permanent licensing and strong technical support.
