Once standards are setup you are only a few mouse clicks away from engineering calculations. The fact that over 125 countries use PLS-CADD is a testament to its adaptability to a wide range of standards.
You can work in either imperial or metric units and can even switch back and forth between these unit systems. Next, you tell the program which combinations to use for loading trees, for insulator swing checks, for clearance checks, wire tension checks… PLS-CADD will check things your way. You start by defining the combinations of wind, ice, temperature and safety factors you wish to use. PLS-CADD’s engineering functions are very flexible and are easily adapted to conform to your standards. Line route changes are instantly reflected in all views Engineering Standards & Calculations points with the mouse or by clicking on locations where you want to add or delete P.I. When sufficient data are available PLS-CADD can give you an even better perspective using contour lines, color renderings and even draped aerial photographs.Īltering your line route is easily accomplished by dragging P.I. Superposition of planimetric maps and aerial photographs can be used to better visualize the area around your line. PLS-CADD has a customizable data import routine that can read a wide range of survey data formats. Survey data can be keyed in, can be digitized using the built in heads-up digitizer, or can be electronically imported from a survey data file. It accepts survey data in both the plan and the profile coordinate systems.
The teaming of our combined resources will result in a complete turnkey solution that will drive reliability and efficiency for the industry.PLS-CADD easily adapts to the wide range of technologies used for line surveys including total station instruments, airborne lasers and photogrammetry.
“URMC and PLSi together uniquely understand the challenges faced by the utility industry and the solutions needed by asset management personnel in both engineering and operations. “By integrating URMC data and algorithms with PLS-CADD, utility executives and managers will be able to inventory their assets and prioritize vegetation risks from their desktops and immediately act to mitigate them within hours by deploying GPS-enabled tree crews to any point in North America,” says Adam Rousselle, president and CEO of URMC. URMC’s intelligence-based, risk management solutions allow for the automated inventory of utility companies’ transmission assets as well as all nearby vegetation that could threaten power transmission lines due to weather or normal growth. “The combination will provide right-of-way management and compliance reporting solutions that leverage URMC technology with the PLS-CADD platform, the most trusted and powerful engineering program for analysis of overhead lines.” “Combining URMC's operational vegetation management know-how with our PLS-CADD overhead line design program will reduce a utility’s liability and operating costs,” says Steven Weber, CEO of PLSi.

The teaming, a first for PLSi, will extend the utility industry application of PLS-CADD overhead line design software by integrating vegetation management intelligence provided by URMC’s patent-pending remote sensing and digital imaging technologies. (PLSi) to integrate URMC’s intelligence-based, risk management solution with PLSi’s PLS-CADD platform. URMC has entered into a teaming agreement with Power Line Systems Inc.
