Project objectives

  • Retrofit an existing wastewater system to meet Maximum Achievable Control Technology guidelines under the 1990 Clean Air Act
  • Expand existing wastewater treatment infrastructure to handle increased production
  • Reduce drawing errors that typically delay construction time by requiring rework in the field
  • Integrate 3D model with an Access database, making all descriptive information created during the design phase immediately accessible to the client.

Fast facts

  • The $6.5 million wastewater treatment facility design involved the retrofit of four buildings on one site
  • The client required a 3D model using Bentley AutoPLANT for the project
  • Using a 3D model created with AutoPLANT technology allowed the team to perform parallel design, drastically improving productivity
  • By creating an interference-free model of the system Process Plus eliminated more than 90 percent of potential interference problems, avoiding field rework and delays and realizing a significant reduction in construction time.

Bentley products used

  • Bentley AutoPLANT
  • AutoPLANT Explorer/ID

Before the advent of 3D software, errors found in drawings would delay construction time by requiring rework in the field.With today’s technology, the digital models can be thoroughly checked for errors early in the design process, resulting in far less interference in the field.

Process Plus, a company providing engineering services to the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, specialty agricultural and consumer products industries, recently had a client specify the use of the 3D plant-modeling program Bentley AutoPLANT for a wastewater treatment project.
