The Przyjazn Coke Plant in Dabrowa Gornicza, Silesia, Poland, consists of about 250 buildings/structures and four coke oven batteries that each contain 80 chambers. Annual production at the facility is roughly 2.6 million tons of coke, and the goal of the project was to increase this number by 1.4 million tons. 

BSPiR Energoprojekt-Katowice S.A. used Bentley software solutions, including ProjectWise, MicroStation, PlantSpace, and Bentley AutoPIPE, to complete the project. PlantSpace’s easy-to-use 3D modeling capabilities enabled junior staff members to participate in the design work. In addition, its interoperability provided better collaboration among engineering offices that use AutoPLANT and other applications—enabling models of pipelines and civil structures to be exchanged easily. This helped the firm specify precisely the terminal points at the design scope boundaries and avoid all collisions.
