HOUSTON, Nov 18, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — COADE announced today the publication of a new Case Study from Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. on the design of the second phase of the Meeker production complex in the Colorado Piceance Basin, completed in 40% less time using CADWorx Plant Professional. When in full operation, the Meeker facility will provide valuable midstream energy production in the basin.
In the case, Bruce Parsons, V.P. of Drafting Services and Information at Gas Liquids Engineering, describes how they used CADWorx tools to deal with the complexity of an elaborate pipe rack, a vital main artery of Meeker II, and resolve significant inconsistencies that were found in the existing as-built drawings. Parson also explains how CADWorx improved project collaboration by allowing for ongoing reviews and walkthroughs among designers, engineers and other project stakeholders.
“Interdepartmental and inter-company coordination was one of the main challenges of such a large project as Meeker II, and CADWorx Plant Professional made efficient internal and external coordination virtually seamless,” explained Parsons. “Using CADWorx resulted in a successful design delivery that saved about 40% of project time and allowed for accurate layout adjustments, improved efficiency and reduced costs,” he added.
