Substation engineering generates valuable data. But when that data stays locked in separate files and systems, it’s harder to reuse, maintain and share. We help you connect the dots, so your engineering data can support more of your business.
Without connected data
Engineering files and enterprise systems stay separate: disconnected information, manual transfers and duplicated effort.
With primtech Connectors
primtech engineering data flows into connected workflows – ERP, asset management, BIM and other systems. Data can be exchanged or integrated according to the requirements of each workflow.
Simple data integration, even for complex projects
RP Connector
Improve your BIM processes with the seamless integration of primtech 3D models in Autodesk Revit.
Most CDE systems rely on a local synchronization folder. When a user initiates a CDE export, primtech automatically outputs the required 3D and 2D files directly to this folder.

“We wanted to create a basis for all information. primtech has become an essential part of our daily work for us. It’s impossible to imagine working without it.”
“The requirements and orders have increased massively, but our implementation time has not increased – on the contrary. The degree of standardization in construction, planning, and preparation is so high today that we are able to achieve this pace in the first place.”
The modular principle of primtech is very clever. Over time, we have created all the necessary templates to cover the various requirements of the respective network operators. This is super easy with primtech because we only need to exchange the modules.
primtech is one of our most important programs, and it’s used daily. Our training program, based on primtech INSIDE and our own Sharepoint site, gets new and yet less experienced employees to a usable level fast. This has been key in ensuring that our team can focus on what matters – designing substations, not modeling objects from scratch
We are significantly more efficient with primtech. Our design time has been cut to one-third, and we are now able to deliver better results faster. It’s much easier to show these designs to our clients, which has improved our project workflows.
The library in primtech is one of the most usable things for us. The possibility of quickly designing with intelligent components, and the fact that we already used AutoCAD, made primtech the obvious choice.
With primtech, new engineers don’t need years of on-site experience to understand what they’re designing. The 3D model speaks for itself.
primtech has helped me enhance my engineering skills by properly designing the substation.
primtech is an excellent substation engineering tool having both drafting and analytical capabilities for making optimum design improving overall cost and lead time of substation projects.
The use of primtech has significantly reduced the time required for the design and planning of substations. Since the software is consistently tailored to the needs of substation designers, the creation and calculation of various design options can now be carried out with ease.
primtech is great because it gives the design engineer the ability to see the product, i.e. the substation, very detailed, like we have never experienced – before the first brick is laid in the ground. This allows for more accurate bill of materials and cost estimation, which goes a long way in minimizing variation orders during project implementation.
We have found to have very good support, always available to assist whether it be a technical issue with the software or library elements.
primtech has helped us achieve this [standardization] and we are now on our way to ensuring that we issue detailed substation design conceptual drawings to EPC contractors.
The nice thing is, ALL the drawings are ‘intelligently’ linked such that any change made in the 3D model of the substation project is automatically represented in the drawings. This greatly enhances design time.
I feel confident using primtech. We can design substation projects and know that everything will work out.
Since we tried primtech’s virtual reality, clicking the primtech DT button has become addictive.
It’s fantastic! We anticipated that we would have a fairly steep learning curve, and that we would need to adjust our way of thinking and our thought processes but the software is well written and logical and intuitive and each piece flows into the next piece. Before you’re quite done, you come to the realization that you’ve designed an entire substation.
AutoCAD took too much time equal to 8 hours for creating a single drawing, but with primtech by every thing already into its library the time is saved by more than 50 percent.
primtech is perfectly capable of checking the lightning protection of a substation, because the check in a 3D model is more accurate. primtech additionally supports – through integrated checking of clearances – the optimization of the substation layout and thereby reduces investment costs.
No matter how good or bad the documentation is, the truth is in the substation. I simply get it with the laser scan and the primtech OSR function or the primtech OSR+PRO service! Compared to other software solutions, primtech has proven to be much more efficient. A decisive advantage that has saved us a lot of work.
Adoption of these new technologies has business drivers and goes beyond just automation of tasks. With primtech, we can radically transform how we deliver our engineering work.
Despite implementing a new design platform for the first time, the project was delivered on schedule utilizing only 70% of the originally allocated design budget.
Our designers were trained and productive in less than a week, which has never been the case with other BIM software.
We wanted to see if we could improve our processes and work more efficiently by shifting our approach and adopting a new tool. That meant comparing the tools we already use with one another and with emerging alternatives.
Our digital end-to-end process enables us to generate a virtual reality model from the primtech 3d model with the push of a button. This makes it easier to involve other departments and creates a digital twin of the real substation.
With the OSR+PRO process, we save an average of 3-4 weeks per substation in the preliminary planning phase. That’s really great.
The accuracy and trust we have in primtech are unmatched. It ensures that what we plan is exactly what gets built.
primtech is fantastic because it is just the perfect tool for substation design. When you go with primtech – you will never understand how you used to design back in the day. With primtech we optimized the design process significantly, our projects became more reliable and mistake-proof.
More than a file exchange
A connected data foundation for your substations
Files are useful for exchanging information. But when you need to keep data connected, accessible and useful across different systems, you need more. Our database-driven approach helps you link engineering data with asset management and operation systems through pr.DI, primtech’s flexible data integrator.
Connect engineering & operations
Bring engineering and asset data together for a more complete view of your substations.
Data where you need it
Access relevant information in the primtech Model Manager or directly in the 3D model.
Single Source of Truth
Connect specialist applications while allowing each system to retain ownership of its data.
Our team combines substation engineering and IT knowledge to find the right integration approach and connect primtech with the systems your workflows depend on.
Industry knowledge: We understand substation engineering, not just data interfaces.
IT expertise: Our specialists help you navigate data structures, interfaces and integration requirements.
Your data. Your infrastructure. Your control.
Your substation data belongs to the critical infrastructure. We understand why control over where information is stored and how it’s accessed matters.
