A benchmark company:
Tekfen
Engineering
Hydrocarbon Engineering
,
September 2016
The leading company of its industry in recent years thanks to its
engineering approach and the state of the art technologies it uses,
Tekfen Engineering serves as a benchmark internationally. The inte-
grated engineering solutions used by Tekfen Engineering have been
extensively covered in the September 2016 issue of
Hydrocarbon En-
gineering
, one of the reputable international journals of the petro-
leum and gas industry.
Written by Tolga Timirci, head of the Process Plant Layout and
Piping Design Department, the article entitled “Working in 3D –
Laser Scanning and Integrated 3D Design Technology” reviews the
works and experience of Tekfen Engineering, which is known for its
innovative approach in this field.
In today’s industrial plant projects, where project periods keep
getting shorter and project stages overlap more and more, it has be-
come almost impossible for engineering companies working with tra-
ditional methods to survive. Even mere hours are of crucial impor-
tance especially in revamp projects where plants continue to work.
The use of laser scanning technology and 3D integrated engineering
applications is more or less a requirement for such projects in order
to create a minimum level of revision work on the site, to shorten
project periods, and to ensure correspondence among documents
produced as well as between these documents and the site itself.
Tekfen Engineering is the leading company in Turkey in this re-
gard, offering considerable advantages to its clients in terms of cost,
application, and time in revamp and greenfield projects. The article
covers Tekfen Engineering’s work in this field, emphasizing the in-
crease in productivity, cost management, and process safety made
possible through digitization in engineering, construction, and op-
eration stages of existing plants with insufficient documentation.
