Case Study: Matomo Projects achieves accurate piping design and avoids budget overruns with Hexagon PPM CADWorx

Matomo Projects Leverages CADWorx to Avoid 75% in Excess Budgeted Hours

Matomo Projects, a Basil Read Group company in South Africa’s metals and mining sector, was tasked with designing a chrome tailings recovery plant for Assmang Chrome’s Dwarsrivier Mine. Facing a fixed budget, a tight schedule, and complex piping requirements, the team needed a reliable way to produce accurate piping designs and isometrics without exceeding budgeted engineering hours. Hexagon PPM’s CADWorx Plant Professional was selected to help meet these demands.

Using Hexagon PPM’s CADWorx Plant Professional, Matomo Projects quickly routed piping, generated accurate isometric drawings with bills of material, and compiled piping quantities for export to Excel. The solution helped the company avoid an estimated 75% overrun in budgeted hours, reduce rework, and deliver fully accurate fabrication drawings and material lists, enabling successful fabrication and erection on site.
