Legrand’s Swifts cable ladder and cable tray systems have been integrated into Intergraph’s market leading PDS and SmartPlant 3D engineering software systems.

Intergraph is the leading global provider of engineering and geospatial software and the incorporation of intelligent Swifts cable ladder and cable tray models within PDS and SmartPlant 3D will enable design teams to produce accurate and efficient cable management routing schemes, plans and procurement lists as part of a fully integrated overall plant design.

Matt Crunden, a marketing manager for Legrand’s cable management division, said: “We are always looking at ways to enhance the appeal of our products and solutions, and improve the level of support provided to our customers. Integration in these two systems ticks both of these boxes and I’m sure will play a major role in strengthening our market position.”

PDS is a comprehensive, intelligent computer-aided design/engineering (CAD/CAE) application for plant design, construction, and operations. Production-driven, it helps EPCs and owner/operators deliver the best design possible – and do it more efficiently to reduce the total installed cost of the project.

SmartPlant 3D is the most advanced member of Intergraph's SmartPlant family of plant modeling software. It incorporates a full suite of complementary software that provides all the capabilities needed to design a plant, and then keep it as-built throughout its life cycle.

The key benefits of the systems include:
•    Whole plant lifecycle from FEED (Front End Engineering Design), detailed design and construction through to handover, full operation and beyond
•    Database driven applications manage all of the engineering information in one location
•    Intelligent rules and relationships including clash detection features
•    High project visibility and review functionality creating more efficient and productive operations
•    High performance 3D visuals giving interactive walkthrough and realism features that make the best use of global design
