Mumbai-based Insteel Engineers has selected Aveva Bocad to enhance its design capabilities, estimating an improvement in productivity of up to 30 per cent.

Aveva Bocad is a best-in-class, 3D structural detailing and fabrication solution that enables the efficient design and construction of multi-material structures.

The companies signed the deal at the Aveva Technology Day, an event attended by more than 200 engineering, procurement and construction companies (EPCs) and owner operators, earlier this year, in Mumbai, India.

Aveva Bocad will be used on the company’s structural steel design, detailing, building information modelling (BIM) and fabrication projects, including major capital engineering and AEC projects, said a statement from Insteel Engineers.

The design capabilities of Aveva Bocad enable InSteel to reduce production and onsite rework and manual work due to inconsistencies, providing the company impressive productivity gains and more accurate project deliverables, it said.

R P Jagtap, managing director, InSteel, said: “Aveva Bocad offers tremendous potential for us and our customers.”

“Aveva PDMS is the standard software used by most EPCs and the ability to deliver a seamless structural steel model within a larger PDMS project adds to our efficiency and credibility,” he said.

“We are confident Aveva Bocad will improve the overall competitiveness of our business, especially when working with its dedicated customer support and local development team. The company is helping us to provide more productive and economic solutions to our customers,” he added.

Navtej Garewal, senior vice president, India, at Aveva, said: “InSteel Engineers had been using a competitor product, and were looking at options to optimise productivity and quality.”

“They made the decision to move to us after they saw the productivity gains that could be achieved and a rapid return on investment,” he said. – TradeArabia News Service
