SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that its TL-Pro Design and
Optimization software has been implemented by MN Electro Industrial
Supply & Services Inc. (MNEISSI), an electrical contractor for
the construction of distribution and transmission lines as well as
power sub-stations throughout the
Philippines. The software enables utility planners to
visualize multiple design scenarios to improve efficiency and
easily manage change throughout the lifecycle of electric
transmission and distribution lines.
Trimble® TL-Pro is a comprehensive 3D software solution for
overhead line design, optimization and maintenance of electric
transmission and distribution applications. Modular and scalable,
the software enables users to incorporate detailed elevation files,
LiDAR, aerial imagery and other user-defined features into a 3D
terrain model. Users can then very quickly model the overhead line
from extensive libraries of standard structures and then
automatically optimize the entire design to expedite construction
planning, minimize cost and support compliance.
TL-Pro provides interactive 3D visualization that significantly
enhances the user's ability to fully explore loading, clearances,
visual impact and more. It also has a powerful optimizer for
auto-spotting structures and producing least-cost designs. The
software supplements the full range of electric utility solutions
from Trimble's routing and corridor analysis solution to materials
management for estimating and procurement to field data collection
workflows. Extensions to cost effectively maintain existing lines
are available, including autofitting, rerating and encroachment
reports. In addition, TL-Pro transmission and distribution line
design software works with Trimble's full range of geospatial
solutions for utilities professionals.
"We are very impressed by the depth and ease of use of Trimble's
TL-Pro software. We originally performed excessive manual
calculations and painstakingly modeled span by span in CAD," said
Michael Nicolas, MNEISSI engineering
manager. "We needed an intuitive solution that was not only able to
automate a large portion of the design creation, but also allow
more detailed analysis to meet tough international design
standards. This saves us a significant amount of time. In addition,
we are now able to extend our services to include more detailed and
complex designs for our customers, as well as robust asset line
management that includes managing ground clearances and external
clearances to vegetation and buildings."
"Innovative technology is transforming the way electric
utilities are planned, managed, built and maintained. Trimble
software solutions and design services provide utility customers
with tools to save time and cost during the design phase as well as
develop more accurate and complete infrastructure models to improve
decision making and operational efficiencies," said John Lee, business area manager for Trimble's
Electric Utility Power Line Solutions.
