Trimble is the one partner with field and office solutions across your entire organization - from planning and permitting through generation, transmission, and distribution to outage management and improved customer service. Regardless of whether you are a large Investor Owned Utility, a Co-operative, a Municipal Water District, or an Independent System Operator or Independent Power Producer, we have solutions to fit your needs.

Initial Feasibility Studies and Planning

Initial Feasibility Studies and Planning

We have solutions from aerial data collection and image processing through a complete analysis of possible routes for your linear asset, significantly shortening the time spent on the permitting and approval process while at the same time providing the best and most cost effective overall solution.

Corridor Mapping

Corridor Mapping

Digital aerial photography, aerial laser scanning, and land mobile mapping provide game-changing capability for documenting and monitoring transmission networks. Transmission structures, terrain, vegetation, and other corridor features are scanned and combined with high-resolution visual and/or near-infrared imagery to enable planning, monitoring, and rapid response. Your project data is easily integrated into GIS databases for analysis of cadastral data, encroachment, and many other requirements.

Trimble mobile mapping systems are available in a range of capability and extendibility to meet your needs and budget. The Trimble Harrier Aerial Imaging and Laser Scanning systems provide industry-leading data capture and high-fidelity modeling for engineering and vegetation management tasks. Entry level systems provide imaging surveillance for vegetation management and compliance monitoring. Land mobile data capture systems complement aerial systems in corridor areas accessible by roadways.

Transmission Line Design & Optimization

Transmission Line Design & Optimization

Engineers across all utility disciplines are faced with the challenge of responding more quickly than ever to the demand for new transmission lines, substation facilities, and the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. Our software provides an intuitive user interface with 3-D visualization, global optimization, material management and design comparison management. Whether you need exceptional design tools for your own projects or professional consulting and design services, we have a solution to meet your needs. The benefits of these applications result in faster Return On Investment (ROI), reduced construction costs, and higher productivity from scarce engineering resources.

Project Management

Project Management

Building owners, construction and engineering firms, and public agencies are all using Meridian technology solutions today to effectively manage capital building programs and facility assets. Meridian's construction project management and Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions reduce project costs and schedules across the plan-build-operate project lifecycle.

Meridian solutions include Proliance and Prolog. Proliance, an Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution for large enterprises that plan, build and operate complex capital projects, programs and facilities, combines project and portfolio management, facilities management, business process management and business analytics into one enterprise system of record. Prolog, the industry standard for successful construction project delivery, provides robust construction project management by automating all aspects of the construction lifecycle, from project design to close out.
