IESA Selects Intergraph® Solutions to Build Up to Eight Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading Vessels

Sisgraph to provide major Brazilian engineering and construction company with training and support for project

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 8, 2013 — (PRNewswire) — Brazilian engineering company IESA has selected Intergraph® SmartMarine® and SmartPlant® Enterprise solutions, provided by Sisgraph, as part of a project with Petrobras, one of the world's largest energy companies. IESA will supply Petrobras with 24 compression modules for six identical floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, with an option for delivery of eight modules to the other two FPSOs.
