Challenge Today's integrated project environments, where multiple parties are responsible for design, construction and commissioning of the final facility turnover to the client, requires close collaboration and integration of design deliverables without compromising IP, forcing changes in individual company's work-processes or incurring data loss. The current business model is that the 3D graphic is exchanged once or twice during the life of the project to ensure interference free design, or the constructor ends up performing manual take-offs or re-modeling the entire scope to ensure they have all the installable components accounted for in their installation plans and estimates.

Benefits There are profound advantages to be derived for design, procurement and construction including faster project start-up, ability to share information in joint venture or sub-contracting environments, verification of information, reuse of information, better documentation, inspection, installation and operation of engineered systems and processes.

The goal of this Element 2 project is to develop the road map checklist and associated work-process in defining what is the minimum requirement for model exchanges (geometry as well as intelligent data) amongst the key stakeholders with different 3D modeling systems (SmartPlant, AutoPLANT, PDMS, etc,) to meet material management and construction deliverables. The output of this project will then be passed on to Element 9 to develop the associated neutral file definition to support the minimum exchange requirements.
