Use Case
Midsize US engineering firm used TDG to proactively suggest facility upgrades to utility
A mid-sized engineering firm used TDG to proactively suggest facility upgrades for a utility client, efficiently generating multiple design alternatives for secondary clarifier improvements. This approach not only reduced design time from 25 days to 1 day but also strengthened the firm’s relationship with the utility and positioned it favorably for future project tenders.
Introduction
Transcend Design Generator (TDG) offers a transformative solution for engineering firms in the critical infrastructure design industry. It addresses the growing need for efficient, innovative design while reducing the burden of non-billable engineering hours during new business pursuits. TDG streamlines early project stages by automating monotonous design aspects, enhancing margins, and freeing up engineers for more creative, cost-recoverable work.
TDG enables firms to provide more value to clients, pursue more projects, and grow their business by improving response times and offering more detailed options in the early stages of design.
Here, we introduce a specific use case for TDG for engineering firms looking to proactively drive business development and set themselves up for successful bids.

The engineering firm seeks to determine:
Action
Results
For one facility, it was determined that the existing secondary clarifiers are adequate for both current and future flows.
The second facility, however, was identified as nearing capacity and would require the construction of six new secondary clarifiers to accommodate future flow. An MBBR expansion was recommended for a more compact design compared to CAS.
The firm presented these findings to the utility, who was highly appreciative and initiated planning for the expansion project at the second facility in their next year’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
