PipeServ Engineering Achieves Success on Greek
Power Project with CADWorx®, CAESAR II® and PVElite® Integration
Headquartered in Athens, Greece, PipeServ Engineering provides engineering services
to the oil and gas industries, including petroleum refining, and to power generation andother heavy industries. TUV Austria Hellas chose PipeServ for the design of a seriesof combined cycle power plants in Greece that involved engineering and design for
piping and supports within the plant facility and for auxiliary systems, large-bore hotand cold pipelines involving 2,500 supports, 300 spring hangers, a pipe rack and steel
structures. PipeServ performed stress analysis for small-bore hot pipelines and finite
element analysis for buried circulating water pipelines of 2.5 meters in diameter. They
also provided mechanical design and construction drawings for three tanks and sevenpressure vessels, including construction drawings.

Achieving Quick Productivity with EasePipeServ achieved success on the project with CADWorx Plant Professional andCADWorx P&ID Professional for plant design and process and instrumentation
diagrams integrated with Intergraph CAESAR II and PV Elite for analyzing and designing
piping and vessels. “The advanced capabilities of this easy-to-use and provensolution provided fast project setup and a quick learning curve with almost immediate
productivity,” explained Antonis Markogiannakis, CEO of PipeServ, “and we also
benefited from the easy customization of databases and efficient coordination
among specialties.”Speeding Review and Completion withIntelligent 3D Modeling
The seamless integration between engineering and design
improved productivity. They were able to provide CAESAR
II pipe stress models instantly and reliably from the samemodel, and with the integration of PV Elite, they could
analyze and complete the design of the pressure vessels
with ease. The integration between 2D drawings and the3D model expedited the workflow for all involved, and the3D modeling capabilities improved the design quality byallowing better concept generation and easier reviews andchecking between collaborators and the client. “We couldeasily share information that was always up-to-date bysimply sharing the model, and we produced the greatest
amount and quality of piping drawings and calculations inthe company’s history,” Markogiannakis said.

Automating Deliverable for Quicker
Completion
Leveraging the capabilities and intelligence built into
CADWorx for design combined with CAESAR II and PV Elite
for analysis, PipeServ was able to automate the productionof deliverables with speed and accuracy. They generated
isometric drawings automatically with minimum postprocessing required, and the software’s batch generation
capabilities improved the quality of the drawings andreduced the amount of time required. They also produced
instant bills of material that were accurate and complete,
all from one model.

Saving Time through Integration Combinedwith Automation
PipeServ provided the client with reliable, high quality
and accurate deliverables in less time. That is possible
because the CADWorx 3D model provides true intelligenceand full integration with engineering analysis. The modeland its associated data are always up-to-date and provide
a complete and accurate depiction of the facility design at
all times. Once the model was completed, PipeServ could
then produce automatic isometric drawings and bills ofmaterials with full confidence.
