A Case Study
Success Story: Digital EPC Execution for NAE (Nitric Acid Expansion) Project at Dahej
The NAE Project is a strategically important expansion initiative undertaken by Mahadhan Agritech Limited (MAL) to enhance nitric acid production capacity and support downstream fertilizer and chemical operations.
Recognizing the need for tighter control, real-time visibility, and seamless coordination across engineering, materials, construction, and pre-commissioning, MAL selected EPCPROMAN as its integrated digital EPC platform.
The Client and Project Overview
Project Name: NAE – Nitric Acid Expansion Project
Owner: Mahadhan Agritech Limited (Parent Organization: Deepak Fertilizer & Petrochemical Corporation Limited – DFPCL)
EPC Contractor: Tata Projects Limited
Digital Solution Partner: EPCPROMAN Private Limited
Location: Dahej, Gujarat, India
Project Status: Ongoing (Commenced April 2024)
Project Scale & Complexity
The project involves a substantial multi-discipline scope: 145,000 Inch Dia of piping , 4,610 MT of piping and structural works
Managing this scale using conventional tools would increase the risk of data silos, material shortages, rework, and delayed decision-making. EPCPROMAN was therefore deployed as a single source of truth for EPC execution across all project phases.
EPCPROMAN Scope of Implementation
EPCPROMAN Private Limited was awarded the contract to provide end-to-end software implementation services, including: – System configuration and deployment aligned with MAL standards
- Data migration, validation, and integration
- User role definition, approval workflows, and access control
- Training, go-live, and post-implementation operational support
The scope covers digitalization of engineering, material management, construction, testing, and pre-commissioning activities, supporting MAL’s broader Project Digitalization Initiative.
Software Modules Implemented:
The integrated EPCPROMAN solution for the NAE Project includes:
- AUTOSPOOL – Piping spooling and erection drawing management
- MATCONTRK – Material control, reconciliation, and forecasting
- STOREMAN – Warehouse and inventory management
- SPOOLMAN – Spool fabrication and installation tracking
- ERMAN – Erection and construction management
- PDIM – Constructability and erectability using Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and dynamic information modeling
- PCAM – Pre-commissioning and certification, managing systems, sub-systems, and discipline-wise ITRs
