KANSAS CITY, MO — Jazz, BBQ, and substation experts—you could find it all in one place last week at the Substation Design Solution (SDS) Industry Consortium Annual Spring Conference in Kansas City. Nearly 500 members of the power industry gathered from across the U.S. to discuss current industry trends and how to lead the way in substation design improvements.
Among them were members of Beta Engineering’s design team Cory Byrnes, Chris Wilson, and Jonathan McLin. On Wednesday, April 24, they partnered up to present “Revit as a Civil/Structural Design Tool and 3D Model Aggregator” for the Civil/Structural and Technology subcommittees. The presentation offered the Autodesk® tool Revit® as a solution to the industry challenge of juggling multiple stakeholder designs across siloed platforms.
As it stands, the design space in the high-voltage power industry is often segregated into several design categories—from civil/structural and general arrangements to protections and controls. This makes collaboration across teams cumbersome and the substation design process prone to inefficiencies. That is where Revit comes in.
Revit is both a design tool and model data aggregator, most notably used for the architecture of large buildings. Beta’s team presented how utilities and design-build firms in the power sector can leverage this tool in substation design specifically, allowing teams to utilize tools they already have in conjunction with Revit to seamlessly integrate designs into a singular 3D space. This improves project visibility from design through construction and streamlines collaboration.
Byrnes, Wilson, and McLin showcased how Beta used Revit in the design phase of a large-scale 345/138kV substation, which is currently in the construction phase.
Beta is committed to more than just addressing immediate project needs. We invest in the power delivery industry's long-term growth, improvement, and sustainability by collaborating with fellow industry leaders and sharing our nearly 50 years of experience identifying and executing effective solutions to unique project challenges.
Beta Engineering is a private, family-owned engineering, procurement, and construction company with headquarters in Pineville, LA, and an office in San Diego. Since 1975, Beta has been building high-voltage substation and transmission line projects for power delivery companies across the U.S. Contact our team of experts to discuss your project needs.
