Case Study: Det Norske Veritas achieves faster pressure vessel design verification with Hexagon PV Elite

Det Norske Veritas Uses PV Elite® to Successfully Complete Pressure Vessel Design Verification

Det Norske Veritas (DNV) faced the challenge of verifying the design of 40 complex pressure vessels for a fixed platform under a strict two-year timeline and in accordance with rigorous ASME standards. The project involved multiple vessel types, and DNV was challenged by delays from designers and manufacturers, risking the project schedule.

Using Hexagon's PV Elite software, DNV's team was able to quickly create independent models from client drawings, run accurate analyses, and generate the necessary approval documentation. This solution from Hexagon enabled DNV to identify and rectify vessel problems during the manufacturing phase, which eliminated costly rework at the yard and resulted in significantly improved approval times.
