With increasingly tight project schedules and profit margins, EPCs need to achieve consistently rapid, right-first-time project execution. Structural steelwork is a major element in all types of offshore project but it can account for a disproportionate level of construction problems, rework costs and delays. AVEVA Bocad Offshore overcomes this by providing, not only an extensive range of general-purpose functions for structural steel detailing, but also a suite of functions and library objects that meet the particular needs of the offshore industry.

AVEVA Bocad Offshore answers the requirements of both engineering and fabrication, providing a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for steelwork design and construction. Special features increase project efficiency by saving time and increasing design quality on a wide range of offshore structures, such as platform jackets.

This product, in conjunction with AVEVA Bocad Steel, may be used as a stand-alone solution or with AVEVA PDMS, AVEVA Outfitting and the brand new AVEVA E3D, enabling steelwork to be subcontracted to a specialist contractor or designed in house alongside designers. Steelwork design is exchanged with PDMS, AVEVA E3D or Outfitting through a standard AVEVA Bocad interface, and may be immediately clash tested against the PDMS, AVEVA E3D or Outfitting layout.

AVEVA Bocad Offshore features a unique generic data model which is readily adaptable to the widest possible range of industry applications. Unlike many rival solutions which are designed only for specific industries, this flexible, generic nature enables AVEVA Bocad Offshore to be used effectively for any type of structural steelwork design and to be readily extended and optimised to meet new requirements.

AVEVA Bocad Offshore is a true engineer’s design tool; it works the way engineers work and does not require extensive user retraining or unfamiliar working practices. Importantly, it works with AVEVA PDMS or AVEVA Outfitting, and the brand new AVEVA E3D, and can immediately deliver value on any AVEVA Plant or Marine project.

AVEVA Bocad Offshore is the most versatile, the most accurate, and the most complete steelwork solution in its class. It includes a suite of library items and standards for offshore projects, enabling valuable savings in time and effort on a wide variety of structural designs such as:
