Case Study: Agility Group achieves faster offshore rig upgrades with Hexagon CAESAR II and Smart 3D

Agility Group Benefits from CAESAR II® and Intergraph Smart® 3D Interface on Offshore Rig Upgrade in North Sea

Agility Group, a Norwegian engineering firm, faced significant challenges when tasked with a rapid upgrade of an offshore drilling rig to meet NORSOK regulations. With a short deadline and complications from multinational design databases, they needed to expedite engineering and design. They turned to vendor Hexagon, utilizing their CAESAR II and Intergraph Smart 3D software to interface design with engineering analysis.

By leveraging the interface between Hexagon's Smart 3D and CAESAR II, Agility Group's team worked concurrently in a common database, which eliminated manual errors and uncertainty around the delivery of critical isometrics and stress reports. This solution enabled them to generate all necessary deliverables on time and even reuse data for future projects. The success against the challenging schedule resulted in Hexagon's customer, Agility Group, being rewarded with all future rig upgrade projects from their client.
