Project Summary Organization: Soyuzhimpromproekt Solution: Process Manufacturing Location: Kazan, Russia Project Objective: • Transform an obsolete synthetic rubber plant into a RUB 9.8 billion, first-of-its-kind methylchlorosilane production facility. • Maximize compatibility with existing auxiliary systems for the provision of new resources within the complex. Products used: ProjectWise, AutoPLANT, OpenPlant, Bentley Navigator, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, Promis.e, and ProStructures Soyuzhimpromproekt Implements BIM Strategy on Russia's First Methylchlorosilane Production Facility Bentley's Interoperable Software Reduces Design Time by 25 Percent Fast Facts • ProjectWise, OpenPlant, and a host of Bentley applications collectively facilitated a collaborative design process allowing multiple disciplines to work in parallel, cutting design time and project costs. • Bentley technology enabled Soyuzhimpromproekt to reduce the amount of environmental contaminants and minimize waste products to be disposed or recycled. ROI • Design time was cut by 25 percent, documentation production costs by 50 percent, and the project travel budget by 30 percent. • The RUB 9.8 billion project modernized an existing synthetic rubber plant, provided more than 700 jobs, and added tax revenue for the city of Kazan. • The new, unparalleled production complex will significantly reduce Russia’s dependence on imports of methylchlorosilane and meet the demands for silicon products used in domestic aerospace, aviation, machinery, electronics, and other industries. A First of Its Kind The Complex for Industrial Production project sought to meet Russia’s domestic demands for methylchlorosilane, a key raw material for space, aviation, and hi-tech mechanical engineering complexes operating in Russian and CIS countries. Situated within the city limits of Kazan, Russia, a RUB 9.8 billion complex is being built to be the first of its kind for the Russian Federation. Comprising 18 new buildings, the project involves renovating an obsolete rubber plant as well as connecting to existing utility and auxiliary energy networks. Soyuzhimpromproekt, a provider of complex design and engineering services for chemical and petrochemical facility construction, was retained to design the entire facility to be fully operational within a three-year period. This unique, complex project required multi-disciplined engineering processes to meet the tight deadlines, and demanded the highest standards of environmental sustainability. Soyuzhimpromproekt relied on Bentley’s modeling and analysis applications to implement an integrated design approach. BIM Workflow Accelerates Design “Different project elements such as processing, piping, mechanical equipment, steel structures, cabling, and electrical equipment were collected into one informative model using i-model Composition Server," explained Sergei Krashakov, head of design at Soyuzhimpromproekt. The project workflow was structured through ProjectWise. Soyuzhimpromproekt used AutoPLANT as the foundation for modeling the piping and equipment, and ProStructures to accommodate civil design. Integrating other Bentley applications, including OpenPlant, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, and Promis.e, helped the project team develop a unified database of materials and equipment, and automated the generation of specifications and estimates. Using AutoPLANT and OpenPlant, the team designed and located over 400 new and existing equipment units and managed more than 800 pieces of piping extending 15 kilometers. ProStructures, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, and Promis.e enabled the modeling and analysis of numerous reinforced concrete buildings, steel structures, cable trays, and electrical lighting. More than 15 piping and equipment specialists alone worked simultaneously with the other disciplines to develop 3D models and incorporate their various parts into the original model using a federated BIM approach. Bentley Navigator was used to reveal collisions and to analyze solutions made by the different specialists. The interoperability of Bentley applications provided a common design platform, allowing the different disciplines to work in parallel on a single information model, accelerating the design process while improving efficiency, decision making, and design quality. A single information model minimized conflicts and eliminated errors during materials selection. ProjectWise Optimizes Multi-discipline Collaboration Given the tremendous amount of different materials, the complexity of implementing the piping and electrical connections, and the short construction time occurring in tandem, the project required all engineering disciplines to work together simultaneously to make informed decisions. “ProjectWise was used extensively during the project to coordinate hundreds of schedules across multi-disciplined teams," stated Krashakov. Bentley’s collaboration and content management software streamlined workflows and optimized information mobility, simplifying the correlation of the different solutions for the various parts of the project.
