Case Study: L&T Valdel Engineering achieves higher productivity and modeling accuracy with Hexagon CAESAR II

L&T Valdel Increases Productivity for Ghana Offshore Project

L&T Valdel Engineering, the engineering group of Larsen & Toubro, faced significant challenges in the detailed design engineering of an FPSO vessel for an offshore Ghana project. Tasked with a complex and short-schedule project involving 138 piping systems, the company had to manage frequent client changes and a subsequent blast analysis requirement after construction drawings were issued, all while utilizing a mix of skilled and unskilled staff. To overcome this, they turned to Hexagon's CAESAR II software for stress analysis.

By implementing Hexagon's CAESAR II, L&T Valdel developed custom macros that interfaced with their design systems, which slashed modeling work-hours by 85% and saved layout engineering time by 90%. The solution eliminated manual errors, automated report generation, and drastically increased modeling accuracy. This allowed them to efficiently manage client changes and deliver technically competent solutions, leading to high client satisfaction, repeat business, and Hexagon's prestigious Drivers of Success award for the project.
