Infrastructure design automation for water & wastewater
Water & Wastewater Treatment Design Software That Starts Structured
From wastewater treatment design calculations to PFAS treatment and lift station planning, Transcend is the only platform that turns early design decisions into audit-grade, outcome-based BIM. Utilities, consultants, and OEMs use our critical infrastructure design software to deliver resilient drinking water and sanitation systems faster — with every input standardized and every output traceable.
Early Decisions Define Every Outcome
The front end of water infrastructure design remains the most fragmented stage of the lifecycle. Yet it defines project cost, timeline, and long-term sustainability.
Wastewater treatment plants are aging while regulations tighten.
PFAS treatment has become a defining compliance challenge for drinking water utilities.
Lift stations and brownfield upgrades add complexity and cost.
Spreadsheets, siloed tools, and tribal knowledge create bad data, bad decisions, and broken projects.
Transcend Software changes that. Our platform standardizes inputs, automates design optioneering, and generates traceable outputs — so every project starts structured and ends stronger.
Wastewater Treatment Facility Packages, 90% Faster
Accelerate wastewater facility design calculations with confidence.
TDG produces full conceptual packages for CAS, MBR, MBBR, IFAS, and other technologies. Each run includes:
Governed process simulations and equipment selection
Outcome-based BIM models, P&IDs, and abstract layouts
CAPEX/OPEX clarity and rework reduction
Why it matters: Utilities and regulators align earlier, consultants free engineers for higher-value work, and OEMs gain earlier spec-in.
PFAS Treatment Feasibility Studies That Stand Up to Scrutiny
From feasibility to compliance, faster.
PFAS is reshaping global drinking water standards. Transcend enables rapid feasibility studies, letting you:
Compare PFAS treatment technologies side-by-side
Generate conceptual designs and cost implications in hours
Build auditable outputs that support regulatory approval
Why it matters: Utilities can move decisively while maintaining public trust and meeting evolving discharge and drinking water requirements.
Lift Station Design Without Guesswork
Handle pumping challenges without workarounds.
Whether it’s a hilly site, retrofit, or interstage pumping, TDG integrates augmented design engineering for lift stations directly into the larger plant design:
Define pump placement, head, and pressure needs
Generate structured energy and OPEX estimates
Deliver traceable documentation for integration into project workflows
Why it matters: Engineering consultants cut rework, utilities gain faster regulator alignment, and OEMs see earlier technology inclusion.
