Soyuzhimpromproekt, a complex for the industrial production of methylchlorosilane in Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, will significantly reduce Russia’s dependence on imports of methylchlorosilane, which is a raw material for silicon products used in aerospace, aviation, machinery, electronics, and other industries. 

Soyuzhimpromproekt used Bentley technology to create an information model of a new plant, enabling parallel work that reduced design time by 25%. The project modernized the existing synthetic rubber plant, and provided more than 700 jobs as well as adding tax revenue for Kazan. Soyuzhimpromproekt used several Bentley products throughout the project including AutoPLANT, Bentley Navigator, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, OpenPlant, Promis.e, ProStructures, and ProjectWise. The secure, electronic exchange of information enabled by ProjectWise, a suite of engineering project collaboration software, helped the team to reduce the costs of producing documentation by 50%. The production process was organized to minimize the amount of raw material to be supplied, as well as the amount of waste products to be disposed of or recycled.

Says Sergei Krashakov, Head of Design Team Soyuzhimpromproekt: “Bentley software allows the organization of parallel teamwork on a project by practically any number of specialists in various fields.”
