Operational Impact
The use of OpenTower has resulted in significant operational benefits for TEP. The software has streamlined their workflows, reducing the time spent on drawing shapes and inputting properties into the software. The file tree and scenario analysis tool in OpenTower has also eliminated the need for multiple files and changes within each of those files, saving time and reducing the potential for errors. The scenario tools have also made it easier for TEP to keep track of the multiple scenarios they need for each site, greatly aiding the reviewers and resulting in significant time savings for the QA/review process. Additionally, OpenTower’s flexibility in analyzing designed vs. installed modification layers has enabled TEP to clearly capture contractor changes that affect tower capacity in one single model. This has improved the accuracy of their data and enhanced their service delivery to clients. | |
Quantitative Benefit
TEP believes it could save 30 to 60 minutes per applicable site depending on the loading and modifications. | |
For sites that are analyzed repeatedly, there is approximately a 20% savings in time. | |
Users can draw the same shapes in two to three minutes, when it might take 10 to 12 minutes to draw several shapes using competing software applications. | |
