Iv-Oil & Gas Expands Use of Intergraph SmartPlant

A SmartPlant Enterprise user since 2002, Iv-Oil & Gas has already experienced productivity gains and the ability to accelerate projects using Intergraph’s next-generation 3D modeling and visualization, instrumentation, and electrical design software solutions. Now, by easily integrating its existing solutions with SmartPlant Materials and SmartPlant Reference Data, the EPC will be positioned to manage project materials and reduce costs for its customers’ capital intensive oil and gas projects from preliminary design through detail engineering and purchasing to construction.

“SmartPlant Enterprise has already shown significant increases in productivity. We expect SmartPlant Materials to enable Iv-Oil & Gas to provide procurement and material specifications information in a faster, more accurate and efficient way providing us with another boost to our efficiency,” said Wim Bal, general manager of Iv-Oil & Gas. “We, as well as our project partners, vendors, suppliers and construction companies, will benefit throughout the procurement and materials management processes.”

Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, “We are always pleased when our customers realize the benefits of integrating our SmartPlant Enterprise solutions and how it helps boost productivity and accelerate projects. With SmartPlant Materials and SmartPlant Reference Data, Iv-Oil & Gas can now integrate its engineering enterprise with its supply chain enterprise, ensuring that what engineering designs is what procurement acquires and construction builds.”

SmartPlant Materials handles bills of material and requisitions, procurement and supply chain functions, fabrication tracking and site tasks including receiving, warehousing and construction material planning. It allows customers to share materials data with design and line-of-business systems, clients, contractors and suppliers. It also can reduce engineering hours up to 15 percent, restrict surplus materials to less than one percent and reduce total installation cost up to three percent.

SmartPlant Reference Data is a pre-configured solution that eliminates the need for customers to re-enter the same standard reference data. Intergraph has built a standard database for SmartPlant Reference Data that delivers a comprehensive range of commodity codes that can be used to uniquely describe materials throughout a project life cycle. The standard database employs sophisticated and exhaustive rules to maintain material descriptions, and is delivered configured to support 90 piping component definitions according to U.S. standards (ASME/ANSI, ASTM, and API). The content of these 90 piping components includes more than 10,000 commodity codes and more than one million individual parts with full dimensional data, including weights.

Iv-Oil & Gas offers a full range of engineering services tailored to the needs of its oil and gas clients including process, mechanical, structural, electrical, instrumentation, piping design, piping engineering and procurement expertise.
