Union Carbide Standardizes on ADev's Intergraph MicroStation-Based Plant
Design Software

After an intensive review of plant design software solutions, Union Carbide
has chosen ADev's Intergraph MicroStation-Based OMNI-SERIES as their
standard for P&ID and piping design. The study began over a year ago when
the Union Carbide Corporate Engineering Council directed the Plant
Engineering Managers (COPE) to select a standard CAD solution. The CAD
team, headed by John Pranks, W.J. Simmons and EM. Bartung, Jr., was given
the task of implementing Intergraph's MicroStation as the new CAD
standard. Sub teams headed by David Ferrino and Darrell Pauley were then
established to select third party applications for their specific P&ID and
piping design functions.

After detailed demonstrations and various meetings with ADev major account
representatives and regional dealers including CAD Assistance in New
Orleans, Louisiana and CADSYS in Houston, Texas, the decision was made to
standardize on the OMNI-SERIES. The reasons for their choice were clear.
ADev and the OMNI-SERIES provided: 1.) an extensive line of
MicroStation-based plant design software including applications for 2D/3D
piping, isometric piping, process & flow diagrams, and equipment modeling;
2.) a link to a commercial database; 3.) the ability to work in either 2D
or true 3D; 4.) direct US. support by ADev personnel complimented by
extensive support by outstanding local dealers.
