Plastpolimer-Sibir has completed the design of a glyoxal production plant with an annual capacity of 20,000 tons using software from CSoft Development. The project team utilized Model Studio CS and CADLib to create a unified information model, which served as the primary tool for interdisciplinary coordination and data exchange.
The project involved 30 designers, a BIM group, and a chief engineer. The team generated over 90 information model files. CSoft Severo-Zapad provided the necessary software licenses and technical support. A dedicated BIM manager led the implementation strategy, supported by an internal knowledge base and specialized training for over 15 employees conducted in early 2024.
The workflow replaced traditional paper-based tasks with the direct transfer of 3D objects containing geometry and parameters. This approach was applied to tasks such as creating openings and installing sensor fittings on pipelines. Automated generation of plans and specifications minimized manual data entry and reduced errors during the design process.
The company utilized Model Studio CS for technological schemes and piping, while CADLib served as the central archive. Structural calculations were performed using the START software complex. The final output includes detailed drawings, specifications, and an information model accessible via MS Personal Model for procurement and construction planning.
Plastpolimer-Sibir is currently expanding its BIM capabilities by integrating cost estimation processes. The team has successfully tested linking model elements to cost norms and transferring data to the GRAND-Smeta system. Future projects will aim to scale this automated estimation approach across all design sections.
