INTERFERENCE CHECKS


For larger plant projects, the design of the building structure, including steelwork, main components and piping, is carried out via 3D CAD programs, such as PDS/Microstation (Intergraph) or PDMS (AVEVA). Planning continuity, as well as the need to consider possible interferences, necessitate the inclusion of the pipe supports in the process. Using defined interfaces, the LICAD support designs can be transferred three-dimensionally and true to scale to the leading CAD programs with no additional input. The standard LICAD drawings are automatically transposed into 3D using special data files.

LICAD SAVES UP TO 50% OF PLANNING COSTS


LICAD runs smoothly on any modern PC with Windows, and is easy to use. Due to its particular effectiveness, LICAD has already become an indispensable tool for numerous engineering departments when designing supports. Potential cost savings of up to 50% simply cannot be ignored.

 

BIGGEST COST BONUSES FROM LAB


Because LICAD plans with LISEGA standard supports, you can count amongst other things on short delivery times from stock. This is a main prerequisite for an efficient installation process on-site. Reliable logistics and preassembled load chains with easy to install design features also allow cost savings of up to 50% in this area. Together with the planning savings thanks to LICAD, the decisive total cost minimum (TCM) can be achieved in this way.
