Tecnimont ICB has computerised most of their Engineering and Project Management Operations. The company have an installed base of around 1200 personal computers. The network consists of exhaustive LAN and WAN connectivity with powerful switches and routers of Cisco.

Tecnimont ICB has networked all their offices and each office is linked to the Head office at Mumbai by FR/Landlines/VSAT/ISDN with multiple redundancies.

Engineering departments utilise the best of hardware and software available from the market. Plants are 3D modeled using PDS of Intergraph. The modeling is done at various levels and they are merged as a single entity to perform Real-time Design Review and Walk-Through sessions.

With the advance in the database links, Bill of Material is processed with pointed accuracy. Interference checking using PDS enables the designers to model plants without fouling.

From the modeled drawing isometrics are drawn out using ISOGEN of Intergraph. All these tools help site engineers to build plants within proper time schedule and few site modifications.

HARDWARE

The hardware is standardized on 'Wintel' platform. The hardware is of State-Of-The-Art and is mainly sourced from international brands like HP, IBM and Dell. The whole office is wired up and has been integrated with Cisco and Nortel switches. The hardware ranges from branded servers, Personal Computers, High end Graphic Workstations, Large size monitors, High speed Printers, Plotters, Scanners, Projectors, Video Conferencing Stations etc.

SOFTWARE

TICB has pioneered the use of advanced software for CAD and Office Automation purposes. The CAD software revolves around Intergraph, Bentley and AutoDesk products. Oracle is the standard back-end database. The CAD software is extensively used by all engineering disciplines towards 3D modeling, drafting, Design & Analysis, Specification generation, Simulation and Safety. Top end software has also been deployed for ERP, Document Management, Material Management, Procurement, Electronic Tendering etc.
