NEW YORK, NY – STV, a leading professional services firm that plans, designs and manages infrastructure projects across North America, today announced a strategic partnership with Transcend, the leading provider of generative design software for critical infrastructure projects. As part of the partnership, STV will incorporate Transcend’s software, the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), into its treatment facility design and planning process.
“Technologies like TDG are enabling us to develop new, forward-thinking solutions as part of STV’s One Water market strategy,” said Chris Haney, president of the national water operating group at STV. “We are excited to partner with Transcend as we continue to holistically plan, deliver and help manage resilient water and wastewater infrastructure for our communities.”
STV is using TDG to analyze, test, model and deliver multiple scenarios for complex wastewater treatment design as well as groundwater and PFAS treatment solutions. The software leverages artificial intelligence to automate the conceptual and preliminary design of infrastructure assets, such as water and wastewater facilities, by simplifying the steps to generate and review engineering quality documents including Revit® and AutoCAD®. The automation of repetitive tasks can accelerate the design process, allowing STV to increase efficiency and deliver better optimized, cost-effective and sustainable wastewater treatment solutions for communities across the nation.
“Engineering firms that embrace the necessary shift towards automated, proactive, outcomes-based design practices will own the future,” said Adam Tank, co-founder and chief customer officer at Transcend. “STV and their leadership perfectly embody that mindset, and we’re proud to support them on their journey in digitally transforming engineering practices to deliver unparalleled value to the water and wastewater utilities they serve.”
STV helps create solutions for the complex challenges communities are facing in securing water resources, such as aging infrastructure, regulatory requirements, capacity improvements and facility expansions. The firm has a proven track record of developing and implementing integrated management strategies for water and wastewater treatment projects across the United States, including the award-winning Vista Ridge Regional Supply Project in San Antonio, Texas; the Little Sugar Creek Tributary Sewer Project in Charlotte, North Carolina; the Walnut Hill Pump Station in Dallas, Texas; the Owasso Wastewater Treatment Plant in Owasso, Oklahoma; and the Red Hook Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility in New York City.
