Powering One of Europe’s Largest Green Hydrogen and Steel Facilities with Governed Engineering Data

To build one of Europe’s largest green steel facilities, Stegra partnered with Sword to establish an Asset Data Factory, transforming unstructured supplier documentation into governed, operational engineering intelligence.

Stegra moved quickly into procurement and construction for its green hydrogen and near-zero emission steel plant. However, multiple Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors delivered critical equipment data in inconsistent formats without a common tag hierarchy.

• Unstructured EPC Handovers: Data arrived across mismatched spreadsheets, PDFs, and drawing standards lacking unified reference designations.
• Commissioning Exposure: Loading ungoverned asset data into operational systems risks costly delays, commissioning blind spots, and compromised plant maintenance.
• Multi-Plant Blueprint Requirement: Stegra required a repeatable engineering data standard capable of scaling across subsequent industrial builds.

Sword designed and deployed an operational data services to collect, clean, validate, and structure high-volume technical data received from contractors prior to loading into the company’s enterprise systems.

• Pillar 1: Data Governance Framework: Established asset hierarchies, tagging taxonomies, and technical handover rules built upon established CFIHOS principles.
• Pillar 2: Data Cleansing & Relationship Mapping: Processed over 52,000 documents, building 33,699 tag hierarchies, generating 27,458 RDS codes, and cross-referencing 198,055 tag-to-document relationships.
• Pillar 3: Systems Integration: Managed the automated ingest of cleansed tag data into Stegra’s Asset Information Management (AIM), maintenance, and procurement platforms.
