Executive Roundtables for Plant

Oil and Gas Roundtable

The role, application and benefits using workface planning techniques and construction simulation software (or tools) during both the design and construction phase of a project

The role, application and benefits now being achieved using construction simulation is seen as a major differentiator to EPC’s and construction firms involved in the erection and construction of today’s complex process plant, and, for some owners, critical to delivering their projects on time and under budget. This roundtable will review and identify the use and further application of construction simulation to determine business case, business benefits and additional application requirements to extend use across the life of the project from concept to construction and turnover.

Power Generation Roundtable

Applying ISO 15926 to Promote Interoperability in the Power Industry

The global power industry faces a major challenge in the efficient management of complex assets throughout their lifecycles, from design to decommissioning. While a great deal of emphasis has been placed on the importance of modularity and standardization of physical assets, there is much room for improvement in the equally important field of information management.

Over the last 20 years the oil and gas industry has put considerable effort into the development of neutral information standards. Now, through FIATECH (a consortium of the world’s leading plant owner operators, contractors, equipment vendors and IT vendors), the ISO 15926 initiative is being increasingly embraced by the power industry as the solution for interoperability.

This executive roundtable will discuss how better information standards can be used to build confidence at this time of economic instability by reducing risks, increasing efficiency, managing costs and improving interoperability between owners, contractors, equipment vendors and other power industry stakeholders.

Metals and Mining Roundtable

The Bulk Materials Handling Lifecycle - Streamlining  Design and Engineering Methods for Value Creation

Bulk materials handling is an integral part of any mining and coal power generation operation. Material must be moved from pit to plant and, in some cases, from plant to port.  Design engineers are challenged to find innovative ways to streamline design and engineering methods ranging from earthworks, foundations, structures, electrical reticulation, mechanical components, along with the conveyor design itself.

This executive roundtable is a continuation of a community already formed and will look at how bulk material handling issues apply to both mining, power, and other industries, and where Bentley technology can deliver value, and what development priorities should be.
