In the complex ecosystem of major Oil & Gas and Energy projects, seamless collaboration between engineering consultants, clients, and EPC contractors is critical. Misaligned drawings or data discrepancies at any stage can lead to costly rework and project delays.
For Tuah Consult, a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy, the use of disparate CAD tools was creating unnecessary friction in these crucial interfaces. Tuah strategic goal was to become a more agile, reliable, and integrated partner for both clients and EPC contractors.

By implementing and mastering ZWCAD MFG internally, Tuah have built a robust, unified design environment. This ensures that the deliverables are perfectly synchronized across all stakeholders, enabling seamless collaboration with clients, EPC contractors, and project partners. This integrated approach has ultimately helped drive project timelines forward 50% faster while maintaining the highest standards of quality and accuracy.

The Strategic Decision: Gaining Control Over Tools
Faced with the challenges of multiple software platforms, Tuah needed a solution that offered both technical excellence and operational flexibility. Tuah choice was ZWCAD MFG, a robust, DWG-native CAD solution.

However, Tuah strategy extended beyond just purchasing software. Tuah made a conscious decision to develop in-house expertise to manage the ZWCAD licenses, deployment, and user support independently. This move was key to gaining full control over the design ecosystem and ensuring its long-term viability.

Integrated Workflow & Internal Management
Tuah IT and engineering teams integrated ZWCAD MFG seamlessly across the entire project lifecycle:
● Conceptual & Basic Engineering (BED): Creating rapid layout sketches, P&IDs, and preliminary design drawings to evaluate project feasibility.
● Front-End Engineering Design (FEED): Developing detailed schematics and drawings to define project scope, costs, and technical requirements.
● Detailed Engineering Design(DED): Generating precise fabrication, equipment, and layout drawings derived from 3D models (AVEVA E3D, SmartPlant 3D).
● Construction Support & Follow-On Engineering: Providing ongoing support with redline markup (RLMU), design revisions, and producing accurate as-built documentation.
