Energy
Oil & Gas and Energy projects are complex. The design and construction of transmission pipelines, offshore / onshore facilities, FPSO facilities, fuel terminals, refineries, compressor stations, wind farms, power plants and stations all generally involve a large number of project participants with globally dispersed specialty engineers and contractors. It is therefore crucial that document management processes are smooth and are driven by workflows (or ‘squad-checks’).
Aconex can store, share, track, filter and archive all drawings, documents, specifications, correspondence (including RFIs, technical queries and other project mail types) and vendor documentation, with review and approval procedures easily created and managed through one central location. Accessible from anywhere, at any time, Aconex can help save time and money.
Current energy projects to benefit from Aconex engineering project management software include, as examples, the Mid Tapti Gas Field expansion (offshore India), Maari Field FPSO (offshore New Zealand), Darwin Biodiesel Refinery and a Gas Fired Power Station (both in Australia).
Mining
Mining for information lost somewhere between email, fax and post can be time consuming. Especially when you realize that the drawing you needed is an outdated version. Whether you’re mining coal, gold, copper or any other type of mineral, you need a solution that allows you to manage your project information with ease.
With high capital and operational costs involved, risk management is imperative. Equipment that is incorrectly designed, reviewed, approved and ordered could cost millions. Aconex helps you manage the risks associated with running a mining project by minimizing the chance of information loss, decreasing the amount of rework and repurchase, reducing exposure to litigation and disputes, and eliminating decisions made on outdated information.
The Nui Phao Open Pit Mine in Vietnam is currently benefiting from Aconex engineering project management software solutions, as well as a number of other mining projects across North America, Australia and Africa.
Civil Engineering
The design and construction of highways, bridges, rail, canals, dams and buildings usually involves the creation (and revision) of thousands of drawings and documents. Commonly run by the government or by Joint Venture / Alliances, the success of civil engineering projects relies heavily on the ability to store, share and track information collaboratively with a complete, secure audit trail.
While the project timeline is often long, it is important that civil engineering projects are delivered on time. Extending project schedules and missing key milestones can be very costly and have significant economic, social and political implications. Accountability and good information and online document management practices are paramount to these projects.
Current civil engineering projects to benefit from Aconex engineering project management software include the Dubai Metro rail line development (UAE), Samuel Beckett Bridge (Ireland), and the world’s largest highway construction project – the $11.2 billion East-West Highway (Algeria).
