Atkins, a global leader in the design, engineering, and project management consulting, increased its design efficiency by 40% after implementing AVEVA E3D. With 3D laser scanning capabilities and cloud integration, the company was able to reduce risk, improve design quality, and save costs on brownfield project execution.
“We trialled AVEVA E3D. We found that getting drawings out in this way would reduce the delivery time of structural drawings by 40%. That’s a lot; 40% saves a lot of money, especially if you’re looking at massive projects such as the Apache Energy project.”
