Highly accurate, automated material take-offs prevent both the costly over-ordering of raw materials and project delays caused by under-ordering.
is a leading, data-centric, rule-driven 3D design and modeling software developed by Intergraph (now Hexagon’s Process, Power & Marine division). It is widely used in the oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and marine industries for detailed engineering of large-scale plants. Unlike purely graphical tools, SP3D leverages an intelligent database that ensures design consistency, automates drawing extraction, and enables clash-free modeling across multiple disciplines—piping, equipment, civil, structural, and HVAC.

Manually drafting isometric drawings or bills of materials (BOMs) is time-consuming and error-prone. SP3D automates this process:
Modeling of steel structures, concrete foundations, walls, and ladders. Unlike purely graphical tools, SP3D leverages an intelligent
Hexagon/Intergraph SmartPlant 3D (SP3D) is a leading 3D plant design suite for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) in process, power, and offshore industries. It emphasizes complex, rules-driven modeling, integration with engineering data, and deliverables for construction and fabrication. Best for large capital projects with strict engineering standards.
The ability to visualize and optimize the model early in the design phase leads to safer operating environments. SP3D in the EPC Industry SP3D automates this process: Modeling of steel structures,
Automated validation against specifications reduces human error, leading to fewer design discrepancies.
