Wood Group Engineering & Production
Facilities is a leader in engineering design
and project management services, providing
life-of-field engineering, from greenfield engineering through infield engineering, production enhancement, and maintenance management to decommissioning.
The management and distribution of informa-
tion to sub-contractors, vendors, and clients
is greatly simplified by the use of the secure
Web-based collaboration tools and
Project Wise.Already, 422 different companies
have interfaced to Wood Group’s Project Wise
system, and there are currently 30 live con-
tracts, 45 archived projects, and more than
two million documents in ProjectWise.
Project Wise is used internally by 863 internal
users in 36 departments, as well as by 600
external users. ;
The organization’s long-term strategy is to
catalog all corporate documentation, current
and historical, within the ProjectWise managed environment. The goal of the 2004
phase of this project was to continue to integrate commonly used applications into the
managed environment, as well as to promote
Project Wise use in other functions within the
company. These applications do not include
just Bentley software, but also many other
applications and formats, such as modeling
MULTIDISCIPINE ENGINEERING
Waste Treatment Plant
(WTP) Project
Bechtel
neering to meet isometric generation
schedules and enabled distributed
engineering among engineering teams
in California and Massachusetts
This waste treatment plant (WTP ) project is
a $5.7 billion, design-build-commission proj-
ect for the U.S. Department of Energy. The
world’s largest radioactive waste vitrification
plant, it is approximately the size of two
nuclear plants combined.
Project scope includes:
The plant will process 53 million gallons of
radioactive and chemical waste. The
processed waste will be blended with molten
glass, then poured into stainless steel canis-
ters and welded shut for stable storage.
• Four major structures (one with a
footprint the size of four football
fields, two end-to-end and two side-by-side) and balance of plant
(underground and outside areas)
• More than 840 pieces of equipment
• 1 million linear feet of piping (572 differ-
ent system codes)
• 52,000 pipe supports to date
• 1,000 miles of electrical conduit
• 27 million cubic feet of building volume ;
Design and engineering of the WTP project
are being accomplished using one of the
largest combinations of Bentley’s plant, building, civil, and content management products
ever assembled for a single project. These
products have allowed WTP project engi-
