Solutions for Utilities & Engineers
Planning & Design Software built for Brazil’s infrastructure challenges
Brazil’s water utilities are leading a major shift. As privatization accelerates and sanitation targets tighten, the pressure is on to design smarter, operate leaner, and deliver results at scale. Transcend supports this transformation with technology built to reduce OPEX and CAPEX—standardizing early-phase designs around your needs, not outdated templates.

Smarter planning from day one
Whether you’re adapting to a phased upgrade, building a site from scratch, expanding an existing treatment plant, or facing steep terrain, challenging site constraints, TDG enables your team to turn site-specific inputs into complete design packages in hours instead of weeks.
On a typical project, engineers have created full design packages in about 8 hours and explored 18 alternative scenarios in roughly 40 minutes—unlocking a level of speed and depth that manual methods can’t match.
Each design run delivers:
Detailed estimates
both CAPEX & OPEX, including equipment lists, civil structure quantities, power requirements, and chemical usage
Standardized outputs
across sites and teams for consistency and compliance
Structured files
including Revit, P&IDs, and process schemes ready for downstream workflows
Faster bid responses
and fewer last-minute changes, thanks to cleaner data and fewer errors
The result? designs that keep pace with Brazil’s infrastructure demands and reflect how you actually build and operate.
Innovation is the key to anticipating the targets set by the Legal Framework for Sanitation. With new technologies like this one, we gain agility in planning — a crucial factor for achieving universal access to services by 2029
