primtech empowers Mott MacDonald

Mott MacDonald is spearheading the digital transformation in substation design and engineering with primtech solutions, realizing design-build accuracy.

The strategic goal of Mott MacDonald

Complete projects as planned to save time and money, minimize risk, increase efficiency, and avoid rework.

The situation

Mott MacDonald sought to augment its design processes and increase design accuracy and efficiency through enhanced design tools and 3D substation software.  

They required a solution that could help minimize rework from the design and engineering phase to the as-built phase, and could accommodate client-specific requirements while also being intuitive for new team members to quickly become proficient.

The solution

Mott MacDonald selected primtech due to its unmatched accuracy, ease of use and implementation as well as for its flexibility.

The intelligent 3D BIM solution based on AutoCAD streamlined the onboarding process for new team members, enabling even those with limited experience to become proficient in as little as one to two weeks.

Key features of primtech that made the difference included:

  • Powerful 2D and 3D capabilities that meet client expectations.
  • The comprehensive library, the primtech substation database, to accelerate substation design based on intelligent and ready to use components and templates.
  • Small project file sizes, reducing complexity in sharing and collaboration.
  • Support from the primtech team, ensuring quick solutions to any issue.

 

The results:

primtech software is enabling Mott MacDonald to complete its substation projects with superior delivery accuracy.

Engineers are able to focus on core engineering tasks, and deliver projects with   high efficiency and accuracy.

Krystian Sokolowski, Principal Engineer at Mott MacDonald says: “The accuracy and confidence we have in primtech is second to none. The software ensures that the substations we plan can be built exactly as planned."

Krystian explains further: “The integration of primtech 3d models facilitated enhanced communication with civil engineers, particularly regarding steel structures. The platform's capacity to promptly identify potential issues at the outset of the design phase reduced risks and enhanced the quality of deliverables.”

primtech enables projects to be realized as planned with a zero-defect rate, resulting in faster project completion, greater customer satisfaction and cost savings.

Summary of primtech benefits:

  • Reliable and Accurate Models: Highest trust in primtech models, as rework is very rarely necessary.

  • No Software Restrictions: primtech is used for all renewable energy projects due to its flexibility and absence of software limitations.

  • Quick Implementation: Onboarding inexperienced staff is seamless, reaching proficiency in less than two weeks.

  • Early Detection of Design Issues: primtech allows to identify potential design issues at the very start of the project.

  • Improved Cross-Department Communication: primtech enhances collaboration and communication across departments.

  • Focus on Engineering: primtech allows to focus on engineering tasks rather than spending time on formalities.
