PLANT DESIGN SOFTWARE
N
ew Zealand hydrocarbons
engineering company ITL has
selected Intergraph® CADWorx® Plant
Professional plant design software to
deliver all new projects going
forward.
ITL made the switch to CADWorx
Plant Professional from a competitor
product after evaluating a range of
plant design software packages
against criteria that included cost
effectiveness, features and usability.
As ITL was already using ISOGEN®, a
widely used software for isometrics
generation, and PV Elite®, an Intergraph
product used for vessel and exchanger
design and analysis, CADWorx Plant
Professional's compatibility with these
two solutions was also a major factor in
the decision.
