Improve economic estimation for engineering projects.

Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE) is used across the lifecycle of process plant capital projects in the oil and gas, refining, chemicals industries. Based on highly scalable engineering models of process equipment, ACCE accurately predicts total installed costs of process equipment and associated bulks, instrumentation, electrical, and civil.

Analyze project execution strategies.

Consider changes in scope, design, construction techniques, and more with Aspen Capital Cost Estimator.  Quantify schedule adjustments and automatically scale the size of a project to either increase or decrease capacity for capital cost using actual equipment rather than scaling factors. This unique approach is proprietary to Aspen Economic Evaluation cost estimation software.

Leverage one common costing engine.

Aspen Capital Cost Estimator, Aspen Process Economic Analyzer and Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator span project lifecycles to provide consistent cost analysis from pre-feasibility through construction.  Also, the decision analyzer module enables the cost engineer to evaluate re-siting and re-sizing of plants.

Integrate with project management and detailed design systems.

Aspen Capital Cost Estimator can be used effectively in conjunction with intelligent P&ID solutions such as SmartPlant P&ID to import piping design information into the estimating system. Additionally, ACCE supports links to Oracle Project (Primavera) in order to export project scheduling and resourcing information that is developed by ACCE.
