Cadmatic 3D plant design software has been in use at the Russian company, Giprobum Ltd, since December 2002. Giprobum is a highly esteemed and experienced design and engineering company, which, for decades, has specialised in new factory facility designs for the pulp & paper industry in Russia. Giprobum currently employs more than 250 employees, and operates in co-operation with international consulting firms and suppliers
In August-September 2002, JSC Giprobum and Cadmatic's representative in Russia, Delcam SPb, started the first stage of Cadmatic software implementation. After a two-week training course at the Giprobum site, Giprobum engineers started the first pilot project using Cadmatic - the design of a 3D model of the central compressor station for Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill, located in the town of Segezha in Karelia (in north-west Russia). Five engineers dealing with different parts of the project (piping and equipment layout, electrical cabling, building construction, heating and venntilation) were involved. The model was ready by the end of November 2002 and was demonstrated during the PAP-FOR'2002 exhibition in St Petersburg.
In December 2002, a software licence agreement was signed and the first commercial project was launched. The project entailed the design of a 3D model of the main production and administration buildings for the brand new, large-format plywood plant belonging to the company Severtara. The plant is going to be built in Kadouj, in the Vologda Region.
Implementation of the Cadmatic software has just begun, but the staff at Giprobum has already had ample opportunities to evaluate its assets. These assets are established by the productive combination of the software open interface and its functionality, as well as the compactness of the 3D models obtained.
Mr. Ignatov, Managing Director, comments: "Also in the future, we hope that the software will effectively meet our specific demands, and that our companies will fruitfully co-operate to mutual benefits".
