At the event, the company shared its experience on the implementation of the tool in large-scale projects, showing how innovation drives digital transformation in engineering.

More than 3,000 professionals from 59 countries gathered in Las Vegas, United States, to participate in Hexagon Live 2025, the annual event of the leading company in digital solutions for design, engineering, and asset management, which was held from June 16 to 19. At this year's event, Techint Engineering & Construction presented a successful case study focused on the adoption of Smart 3D, one of Hexagon's main tools, widely used in its Engineering area.

The event agenda included technical training, artificial intelligence training, technology launches, and opportunities to exchange experiences. “Participating in Hexagon Live allows us to share concrete advances in the innovation of our processes and learn best practices and new perspectives from other leading companies,” said Sebastián Varesi, Electrical & Instrument Design Director at Techint E&C.

On the first day of the event, at the Technical User Forum, Varesi, together with Martín Varela, IT Digital Engineering Manager, and Walter Mosteikis, Electrical Lead Design Checker, presented the cable routing pilot in Smart 3D, under the title “Cable Routing and MTO for Electrical and Instrumentation in Smart 3D v14.” This project represents a significant step forward for the company.

Since 2009, Techint E&C had carried out several pilot projects with previous versions of the software that had not met the expected standards. However, with the latest version of Smart 3D, two simultaneous pilots were run (one in Buenos Aires for a pumping plant and another in Mexico at a compressor plant) that allowed for the optimization of processes and successful results.

“Although it initially requires a greater investment of engineering hours, the system allows calculations (MTOs) to be obtained directly from the model, with greater certainty, traceability, and visualization of routes,” explained Varesi.

Mosteikis mentioned the challenge of leading a multi-regional pilot and the close collaboration with Hexagon developers to resolve issues and adapt the tool to Techint E&C's needs.

Varela highlighted the experience: “It was a pleasure to represent Techint E&C once again at a global event. The presentation was so well received and had such an impact that Hexagon invited us to repeat it at the global online session for its users in early August.”

With this adoption of Smart 3D modeling, Techint E&C continues to position itself at the forefront of applying technologies that drive efficiency, quality, and innovation in the engineering of large projects.
