Case Study: Briggs of Burton achieves safer, more efficient distillery expansion with Hexagon CADWorx

Briggs of Burton successfully delivers a complex project while leveraging Hexagon’s design solutions

Briggs of Burton, a UK-based process engineering firm for the food and beverage industry, was contracted by Diageo to complete a major expansion of Europe's largest distillery. The challenges included increasing capacity while maintaining production on a constrained, active site, all while ensuring safety and improving efficiency. To meet these goals, they leveraged design solutions from vendor Hexagon, specifically the CADWorx Plant Professional and P&ID Professional software.

Hexagon's integrated solutions provided Briggs of Burton with an accurate and highly customizable modeling environment. This allowed for precise fabrication, which led to safer on-site assembly and an estimated 10-15% time savings. The centralized database enabled bulk ordering from suppliers, resulting in significant cost savings. The vendor's tools also facilitated seamless collaboration across all project disciplines, ensuring the complex phase was delivered on time and within budget.
