- huge cost saving potential
Errors identified and corrected in the early stages of the project:

• Collision detection
• Equipment Interfaces
• Etc.
Cheaper to uncover errors with Visual Engineering and visualization,
than in fabrication or when trying to install it offshore…

- from feed to engineering, to fabrication,
installation and operations
• Allowing fact-based “What-if?” discussions at every stage.
• Encourages to participation and discussions, helping
finding the best solutions.
• Result? Better decision-making throughout the project’s life
cycle
