PRESS RELEASE - Surveyor v2 relased

24th August 2009

Arkitectonix announces the release of version 2 of it's Surveyor application - a plug-in to Autodesk®NavisWorks®, the world leading design review software used in the Process Plant and Construction industries.

In parallel with Autodesk's business growth in the Process Plant Design and Engineering Market, Arkitectonix offers added value to all the main 3D Plant applications including Autocad's Plant 3D product. Surveyor enables users to generate survey reports in Excel from 3D NavisWorks models.

Rick Hall, CEO of Arkitectonix, says...

Surveyor is really what is needed by EPCm contractors, but also plant owners. Some cases of how it can be used include:

- You get a SPR file from a turn key contractor: You can view this in NavisWorks, incl. PDS data, but now you can also create complete MTO yourself of your as-built model, without having to implement PDS.

- A constructor can just make a selection of his daily workload, so he can run an MTO for the work of the day, and he can go to the ware house with a list of materials he needs that day.

- You can run a material list of all lines that need periodic inspections, e.g. for corrosion.

- You can make as a plant owner a list of all bronze valves in your cooling water system you want to replace by decent Frost-proof valves...

Customers now include a wide range of different companies in Process Plant and Construction in several countries including Linde KCA and Siemens AG in Germany, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, Skanska in Sweden, United Group in Australia and Vanir Construction Management in the USA.
