Design Software for Power & Utility Infrastructure
With infrastructure in the United States deteriorating, Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with billions of dollars earmarked for power grid and industrial infrastructure improvements such as new power plants, updated transmission stations, modernized supporting structures and electric vehicle charging stations. The design of these structures present The design of these structures present complex challenges to structural engineers due to their narrow scope, size and requirement for efficiency in design. As a result, tools like RISA-3D, RISAConnection, RISAFoundation and RISASection are required in order to achieve the specific project requirements and timelines.
Step 1
Model, analyze and design steel & concrete structure that supports equipment, piping or materials.
Step 2
Define connection types in RISA-3D and transfer reactions to RISAConnection for final design of shear, moment, brace and base plate connections.
Step 3
Leverage superstructure model and reactions to design foundation elements including spread footings, mat slabs, retaining walls and piles.
With the structural design in RISA complete, engineers can utilize direct integration with SDS/2 and Tekla Structures to create an efficient workflow between engineers and project detailer/fabricators.

"We’re trying to figure out how to interface with our fabricators and having a design program like RISA that can interface directly with Tekla, saves us a lot of time and saves us from having to manually input member sizes."
