Substation Design needs a Database
Substation engineering has traditionally been built around CAD files. We argue that it's time for a shift to database-focussed design.
primtech DT makes it easy to share design changes or maintenance activities directly across departments in an intelligent 3D BIM model of your substation.

Intuitive Use
Use primtech DT without any training – whether you work in engineering, asset management or any other department.
Seamless Collaboration
Easily comment and assign tasks directly within your VR model with the BIM Collaboration Assistant.
Powerful Simulations
Simulate current flows and switching options in the virtual model to improve the safety of your staff on site.
Small File Size for Easy Sharing
Share snapshots of your models with convenient file sizes (< 10 MB) for seamless collaboration.
Virtual Reality for your daily workflows
primtech DT runs on any laptop and VR glasses
More than a visualization tool, primtech DT brings your substation Digital Twin to life. Combine virtual reality, engineering intelligence, collaboration workflows, and asset information in a single environment to review designs, simulate operations, train personnel, and improve decision-making across the entire lifecycle.
Whether you’re working in engineering, asset management, operations, or beyond, primtech DT brings all relevant information together in one place. Most use cases are available in the basic version of the software and can be expanded at any time with powerful add-ons and upcoming beta features.
Create and compare substation concepts in minutes, without requiring specialist CAD or BIM knowledge. Explore alternative sites and layouts in realistic 3D, assess brownfield expansion scenarios and discuss concepts collaboratively before detailed engineering begins.
Review substation designs directly in 3D. Use the integrated BIM Collaboration Assistant (BCA) to create and assign issues, add comments and annotations, and track feedback through to resolution. Issues are automatically available in primtech 3d, connecting reviewers and engineering teams in one streamlined workflow.
Watch video
Compare the completed substation with its original engineering model to automatically identify deviations, including potential electrical clearance violations. Document and manage findings with the integrated BIM Collaboration Assistant (BCA), then transfer them directly to primtech 3d for review and resolution.
Prepare maintenance activities in a virtual substation environment by exploring equipment, checking access conditions and familiarizing teams with the work area before they arrive on site.

Train employees to recognize hazards and understand safety procedures in a realistic, interactive 3D replica of an electrical substation, without exposing them to actual operational risks.
Use the Digital Twin to explain construction plans, showcase project details and communicate complex technical concepts to stakeholders, local communities and the wider public.
Is there a way a virtual substation model could make your work easier or open up new possibilities? We’d love to hear your ideas and explore how we could bring them to life.
