Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, USA

Designer
Guido Perla & Associates, Inc., USA

Project
Largest USCG certified Casino Vessel built in the US.

Project Highlights
Guido Perla & Associates used ShipConstructor to create an integrated 3D model of the vessel, from which they could easily generate detailed engineering drawings. Field liaison personnel also used the ShipConstructor 3D model, together with NavisWorks Roamer, as a powerful communication tool.

ShipConstructor helped control quality, and therefore reduce re-work. ShipConstructor also eliminated the need to create backgrounds/composites, which helped reduce the time needed for the mechanical systems.

ShipConstructor’s HVAC module was also used to model electrical wireways, an innovative use of ShipConstructor’s toolset.

A unique vessel in a lot of ways, from having helped define new USCG policies on fire protection standards, to the fact that it is entirely built on site (“stick built”) in Michigan City, Indiana, not in a shipyard.
