PLS-CADD, TOWER, PLS-POLE & CAISSON 16.81 Complete Features

PLS-CADD easily adapts to the wide range of technologies used for line surveys including total station instruments, airborne lasers and photogrammetry. It accepts survey data in both the plan and the profile coordinate systems. Survey data can be keyed in, can be digit ized using the built in heads-up digitizer, or can be electronically imported from a survey data file. PLS-CADD has a customizable data import routine that can read a wide range of survey data formats.

Superposition of planimetric maps and aerial photographs can be used to better visualize the area around your line. When sufficient data are available PLS-CADD can give you an even better perspective using contour lines, color renderings and even draped aerial photographs.

Altering your line route is easily accomplished by dragging PI points with the mouse or by clicking on locations where you want to add or delete PI points. Line route changes are instantly reflected in all views

Engineering Standards & Calculations

PLS-CADD's engineering functions are very flexible and are easily adapted to conform to your standards. You start by defining the combinations of wind, ice, temperature and safety factors you wish to use. 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 can work in either imperial or metric units and can even switch back and forth between these unit systems. The fact that over 125 countries use PLS-CADD is a testament to its adaptability to a wide range of standards.

Once standards are setup you are only a few mouse clicks away from engineering calculations. Select “Structure/Check” and click on a structure and you are told if you have a structure strength or insulator swing problem. Select “Section/Sag-Tension” and click on a span and you get a sag-tension report. Clearances, loading trees and many other functions are just as easily accessed.

PLS-CADD supports both automatic and manual spotting. With manual spotting you use the mouse to add, delete, edit or move a structure. In automatic spotting the program spots structures for you to obtain the lowest cost design possible subject to your constraints. Automat ic spotting often results in designs as much as 10% lower in cost than human generated designs. PLS-CADD gives you the best of both the automatic and the manual spotting worlds: cost and time savings while still maintaining control.
