Problem
Transcend Design Generator (TDG) generates high-quality, accurate engineering documentation for a wide range of critical infrastructure assets, allowing you to take control of the process and spend your money to improve project outcomes. By leveraging TDG to evaluate more options you will end up with a more sustainable and resilient facility – all while decreasing the Total Cost of Ownership.
Innovative Utility Incorporates Generative Design Software Into RFP
When it comes to capital planning, utilities and their consulting partners struggle to keep up with the demands of the future. Scenarios that incorporate ever-changing regulatory requirements, weather conditions, population models, and advances in technology are difficult to plan for.
Capital planning
Assess 10x (or more!) options for existing and new assets in order to find the optimal design to meet your objectives for CAPEX, OPEX, Carbon Footprint, and more.
Streamline the price review process and kick-start approved projects by generating complete engineering design packages for brownfield (including upgrades) or greenfield projects.
Automatically generate designs for existing sites and assets to improve asset management efforts, including Digital Twin baselines.
Repurpose spend with 3rd party engineering firms and consultants to deliver more of the value you need.
Lower Project Development Costs and Optimize Return on Invested Capital
Reduce costs of developing and bidding on new concessions/asset pools.
Create feasibility studies in-house and save on 3rd party engineering costs.
Improve your ROIC on new builds and upgrades by evaluating more technologies and options, and reviewing more accurate designs at an earlier project stage.
Determine more accurate CAPEX/ OPEX budgets and “future proof” designs by ensuring compliance w/ anticipated regulatory or climate-driven changes.
Tender Specification
Leverage TDG to automatically generate tender specifications based on what is best for your assets and community.
Evaluate the most cost-effective design options before the tender launches.
Ensure the project delivers on your objectives by generating multiple design options and leveraging 3rd party designers to evaluate the best alternative.
Achieve sustainability metrics
Rapidly evaluate multiple options and design alternatives to maximize the sustainability of your asset base.
Include more innovative technologies in your long-term capital planning in order to increase efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.
Compare different alternatives based on carbon footprint, physical footprint, or other sustainability-driven metrics.
Simplify the interconnection process
The Transcend Utility Interconnection Hub simplifies the interconnection process by providing an automated platform that ensures developers submit fully compliant collector substation designs from the start. This helps utilities reduce the time and resources required for design iterations and speeds up approvals.
