Operational Impact
The implementation of Bentley's 3D modeling solutions led to several operational benefits for Pestech International. The use of an intelligent standard primary and secondary equipment library facilitated collaboration among project team members and streamlined the generation of reports. The creation of a 3D reality mesh of the site helped avoid clashes and change orders from the outset, leading to more efficient construction. The use of OpenBuildings Designer for the design of the control building and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management for visualizing the actual physical site and the cable ladders, trays, underground trenches, and cabling routes led to a more efficient and faster design process. The software's interoperability with other applications avoided the need to purchase other software applications, reducing overhead for licensing, training, deployment, and maintenance. This led to greater project team collaboration, faster project delivery, lower costs, and quicker approvals by TNB. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Construction drawings were created in one day with Bentley Substation, compared to 10 days using traditional methods. | |
Accurate measurements of cables and electrical components reduced waste by 10 to 20 percent. | |
Working in a comprehensive modeling environment using Bentley’s automated and interoperable software saved an estimated MYR 200,000. | |
