PLS-CADD software

Many years of experience in the Transmission Line Design using the PLS-CADD software. We provide a valuable support for all project phases of power lines design from the topographical survey up to the elaboration of AS-Built drawings.
The activities in detail are:



• Insertion of topographical map, satellite images, digital orthophotos, etc..


• Iinsertion and assignment codes to survey data collected by traditional surveying equipment like GPS and Toal station.


• Insertion and assignment codes to survey data collected by modern electronic surveying equipment and mapping techniques as Lidar, Photogrammetry, Laser Scann....


• Creating the elevation profile along the axis of the line with the relative "side profile" and all the interference.


• Creating database with the environmental and load design criteria as:

-- Weather cases
-- Code specific and terrain parameters
-- Creep and permanent stretch
-- ACSR cable model
-- Cable tensions
-- Maximum tensions
-- Weight span model
-- Conditions for checking span and structures
-- Structure loads criteria 
-- Condition fot checking clearances
-- Fine element modelling data
-- and more....

•  Sag and tension calculation for conductor, earth wire, OPGW..


• Creating database structures with:
-- Structure geometry and equipments(cable sets,insulator type..)
-- Structure strenght (allowable spans, wind span, weight span..)

 

•  Automatic or interactive structure optimum spotting.


• Cables and structure checking with design and clearance limits.


• Stacking Chart and Material tables, Plan and Profile drawings


• AS-BUILT drawings
