Case Study: Siemens reduces project schedule with Hexagon CAESAR II

Siemens reduces schedule with CAESAR II® for power project

Siemens AG faced significant challenges in engineering a complex piping system for India's first solar thermal power plant. The project involved cumbersome configurations with high thermal expansion on turbine nozzles and a tight six-month schedule to complete stress reports without any existing database for key components. To overcome these obstacles, Siemens utilized Hexagon's CAESAR II® software for pipe stress analysis.

By implementing Hexagon's solution, Siemens designed the complete system in a single model file, performed multiple optimization iterations, and utilized specialized modules like the Nozzle Limit Check. This approach saved 500 work-hours, reduced the project schedule by one month, and provided higher data accuracy. The efficiency and confidence gained from using Hexagon's technology led to complete client satisfaction and helped Siemens secure five out of six subsequent thermal solar projects.
