Case Study: Gas Liquids Engineering achieves faster design delivery with Hexagon PPM CADWorx

Gas Liquids Engineering Cuts Design Time by Almost Half for Gas Processing Facility

Gas Liquids Engineering, a Calgary-based EPC management firm in the oil and gas industry, needed to deliver a greenfield gas processing plant project on an extremely tight 10-month schedule instead of the usual 18 months. The project involved more than 27,000 feet of piping, 50 major pieces of equipment, and significant layout challenges in a foothills location, creating pressure to avoid design errors, rework, and schedule overruns. Hexagon PPM’s CADWorx Plant Professional and OrthoGen for CADWorx were used to help meet these demands.

With Hexagon PPM’s CADWorx software, Gas Liquids Engineering improved modeling efficiency, cut 35% of 3D design hours, and reduced arrangement drawing time by 75%. The solution also helped eliminate design errors, avoid wasted time, and keep the project under budget while enabling a smoother flow between disciplines such as P&ID, piping, structural, and stress analysis.
