Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Standardizes on Bentley on $730 Million Project Uses Bentley Software for Global Collaboration on Nuclear Power Station Design, Saving 10 Percent in Productivity While Increasing Plant Efficiency

摘要

Located in the seaport city of Dalian in the south of Liaoning province, the Liaoning Hongyan River Nuclear Power Plant is the first nuclear power station in northeast China. This project is also the first where the simultaneous construction of four 1,000 megawatt (MW) units has been approved. To overcome the challenges associated with Phase 1 design of this $730 million megaproject, the Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute (GEDI) migrated from a purely 2D design environment to Bentley's 3D design software and ProjectWise, Bentley's system of collaboration servers and services for AECO information. Bentley software enabled GEDI to improve productivity by 10 percent and reduce the probability of clashes by 90 percent.
