IHI E&C selects Intergraph SmartPlant foundation and smartPlant materials

IHI E&C International Corporation of Houston, Texas, a wholly owned subsidiary of IHI Corporation, has selected Intergraph® SmartPlant® Foundation as its standard life cycle engineering document and data management solution. IHI E&C also has chosen Intergraph SmartPlant Materials following an evaluation of its legacy materials management tool, measured against Intergraph’s industry-leading materials management technology.

IHI E&C will use SmartPlant Foundation and SmartPlant Materials in the execution and delivery of its projects, including front end engineering development (FEED) studies and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) projects.
 
IHI E&C selected SmartPlant Foundation after determining that it is one of the more technically superior solutions available in the marketplace. SmartPlant Foundation’s capabilities will support all of the company’s requirements, including the management and implementation of engineering changes for enhanced safety, improved quality of data and increased productivity and efficiency.
 
Both SmartPlant Materials and SmartPlant Foundation have been adopted as corporate standard solutions by IHI E&C. The implementation of Intergraph’s solutions began in April and was completed in July.
 
Iain Christie, Senior Director of Project Services at IHI E&C, commented, “We have selected Intergraph SmartPlant Foundation and SmartPlant Materials to satisfy our data management and material management requirements on all upcoming projects. Not only will SmartPlant Foundation allow us to manage our day-to-day document management requirements, but it will also greatly assist with the production of final project documentation for our clients.”
 
Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, “IHI E&C’s selection of SmartPlant Foundation for document management and SmartPlant Materials for materials management validates that our solutions surpass competitors’ systems. Intergraph provides a long-term data-centric strategy, and IHI E&C appreciated that we offer tactical and strategic solutions to assist in the growth of its organization.”
