CISDI’s BIM Centre is to deliver a digital feasibility study for Baowu Yancheng Steel.

It will be the first of its kind in China’s steel sector.

The bid and evaluation process took some six months and involved comparison of multiple engineering companies, builders and software suppliers.

CISDI’s full process digital delivery will include design, infrastructure, production and operations.

Yancheng Steel will become China’s first - and one of the world’s first - full life-cycle digital plants, a Factory of the Future featuring digital design, deliverables, production and operations.

Driven by demand for greater economies, Yancheng Steel’s masterplan will be implemented in phases and has a systematically designed digital infrastructure.
