Accelerating Sanitation Goals in Brazil: FF Solutions Partners with Transcend

FF Solutions and Transcend partner to accelerate innovation and efficiency in Brazilian water & wastewater projects

FF Solutions, a leading provider of solutions that drive digital transformation in the AECO & Manufacturing sectors, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Transcend, a global leader in generative design software. Together, they aim to expand the adoption of an innovative design technology to the Brazilian market, focused on engineering projects in the water & wastewater sector.

According to the 2024 Sanitation Ranking released by Instituto Trata Brasil, 32 million Brazilians still lack access to clean drinking water, and 90 million are without sewage collection. These alarming figures highlight the urgent need for solutions that can accelerate infrastructure modernization. With the new regulatory framework for sanitation establishing the goal of universal service access by 2033, the combination of digital innovation and high-performance engineering becomes essential to meet regulatory demands, attract private investment, and foster sustainable development in the sector.

This is a strategic imperative for FF Solutions, which views digital transformation as a powerful tool to create positive societal impact. Supporting the advancement of basic sanitation in Brazil is deeply aligned with the company’s mission: to drive a sustainable future through people, with innovation and collaboration.

The partnership marks a significant step toward digitalization and increased efficiency in project development processes, especially for water & wastewater treatment plants and pumping systems. Through this collaboration, FF Solutions will expand the adoption of the Transcend Design Generator (TDG) in the Brazilian market — a pioneering platform that automates preliminary engineering workflows by integrating computational intelligence, industry best practices, and existing engineering tools like Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit.

By adopting generative design, engineers and project managers in utilities and consulting firms can rapidly produce complete preliminary designs — including scopes, layouts, quantitative estimates, and CAPEX/OPEX analyses. This represents a breakthrough in how infrastructure projects are conceived, facilitating comparisons between technological approaches, improving cost predictability, and optimizing decision-making from the earliest stages.

“By bringing an exclusive technology to the Brazilian sanitation sector, we are not only accelerating project timelines but also fostering a new culture of innovation and scalability. This partnership with Transcend strengthens our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s infrastructure challenges,” says Diego Faria, COO of FF Solutions.

“Brazil is an incredible country with an important mission – democratize access to clean water & treated wastewater for every Brazilian by 2033. With this partnership, that mission will be fast-tracked to become a reality,” says Adam Tank, Co-Founder & CCO of Transcend.

The implementation of the TDG in Brazil addresses the growing demand for agility, accuracy, and sustainability in sanitation projects. With this partnership, FF Solutions now offers a solution that:

  • Supports the standardization of engineering processes;
  • Encourages collaboration and integration across teams;
  • Facilitates modernization and scalability in sanitation systems;
  • Promotes technological innovation in the sector.
