CHIDI Picks Dassault PLM for Hydropower Plants
 BEIJING,
China, Oct 22, 2009 – Dassault Systems (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D
and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that
HydroChina Chengdu Engineering Corporation (CHIDI), one of China’s largest
hydropower investigation and design enterprises, has successfully implemented
Dassault Systems’ PLM solutions to facilitate investigation, design, and
collaborative management of hydropower plants. By leveraging Dassault Systems,
CHIDI has significantly shortened project timelines, reduced total costs, and
improved the collaboration between cross-functional teams of designers and
engineers. CHIDI has also been able to leverage Dassault Systems’ 3D
capabilities to provide more lifelike insights into online modeling and
designs, facilitating greater collaboration with suppliers and ensuring the
feasibility of the design process.
CHIDI, which is recognized as one of the world’s major hydropower R&D
organizations, has played an intrinsic role in the design and development of
many of China’s most famous hydropower plants, including Ertan Hydropower
Plant, currently the highest dam and largest hydropower plant built in Asia,
Xiluodu Hydropower Plant on the Jinsha River, the world's second largest
hydropower plant, and Jinping Stage 1 Hydropower Station, the world's
highest arch dam with a height of 305m. To expand its reach and reputation,
CHIDI decided to implement a PLM solution to improve its design quality and
overall project management proficiency.
CHIDI has adopted a comprehensive array of Dassault Systems’ PLM
solutions since 2006. To drive the collaborative design and 3D elements of
plant engineering (including feasibility studies, super-standard and
technical construction design), the company has leveraged CATIA. The CATIA
solution, which has been utilized in the development of Xiluodu and Jinping
Stage 1 Hydropower projects, has ensured precise communication and accurate
information exchange across multiple functions and sites which has helped to
reduce design errors, thus reducing delays, improving design quality and
minimizing costs (in terms of time and materials). In order to drive greater
collaboration with suppliers as well as strategic procurement and project
management CHIDI has also deployed Dassault Systems’ ENOVIA collaborative
business process platform. In addition, CHIDI is using 3DVIA Composer to
produce 3D documentation for publications, ensuring effective communication
with proprietors and construction units.
“There are so many mission critical elements to building a hydropower
project that it’s essential for us to have access to the most advanced
equipment and software solutions. Our ability to be able to design and
implement new, fail safe projects on time and to budget are ultimately key
for us maintaining our status as a world leader in this field,” said Zheng
Sheng’an, President for CHIDI. “To date Dassault Systems has demonstrated an
ability to understand the challenges that we face and provides us with
solutions that anticipate changes in the market – most notably in the use of
3D technology and greater collaboration.”
“China’s emergence as the world’s largest producer of hydropower provides
Dassault Systems’ with a unique opportunity to help the industry leaders
shape future product and engineering developments,” said Zhao Heng, vice
president, Dassault Systems Greater China. “Through close collaboration with
CHIDI and with our advanced PLM solutions, we are dedicated to supporting
China’s hydropower industry to further improve its design and innovation
capabilities and accelerate the entire industry’s advancement and growth.”
Dassault Systems’ PLM solution is already being used successfully in the
hydropower industry worldwide. Hydro-Quebec in Canada and Voith Siemens, an
internationally renowned hydropower equipment maker, have both chosen
Dassault Systems’ PLM solutions to perform product lifecycle management for
3D design, digital construction and maintenance of their hydropower plants.
