About OptiPlant
OptiPlant enables Owner/Operators, as well as the EPC firms who design and construct the facilities, to significantly improve the productivity of their large capital projects; reduce overall design, engineering, and construction costs; and bring those projects in on-time and under budget. OptiPlant allows customers to also "design in" the lowest overall lifecycle operating costs, by being able to envision, very early in the engineering and design phase, what those costs will be, and manage them from the beginning of a project.
OptiPlant is the leading pre-FEED and FEED solution in the industry, enabling rapid 3D modeling, review of multiple options, and generation of all required deliverables for estimating, design, procurement, construction planning, and engineering.
