Tharo Addressed Project Challenges on South African Piping Project Using Intergraph(R) CAESAR II(R) for Stress Analysis


HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - May 18, 2010) - A new Case Study on Intergraph® CAESAR II® software describes how Tharo Consulting CC completed a full stress analysis with ease and fast turnaround for Beal Project Management on a coal gasification project for ESKOM, the main electrical power provider in South Africa. The Case Study describes the project challenges, including complex piping layouts and specifications, large temperature differentials, and the limited time in which to complete the project. Tharo easily completed the stress analysis report and stress analysis of isometric drawings on time for its client by leveraging the capabilities of Intergraph CAESAR II and Intergraph CAESAR II ISOGEN. The case also describes how the Intergraph CADWorx and Analysis Solutions Group's after-sale service and support contributed significantly to the success on the project.
