Adani Transmission Limited used AVEVA Bocad to refine tower designs for a 400kV DC transmission project spanning 130 km. The software supported 3D modeling, rotation, and connection visualization, allowing eccentric connectors and optimized secondary members. This reduced fabrication waste, minimized structural stress, and produced drawings up to 40% faster with 0.5 mm precision across four tower types.

Key takeaways

3D modeling and part rotation enabled detailed connection visualization from any angle.

Eccentric connectors reduced patches, braces, and structural stress during erection.

Drawing generation time decreased by up to 40% while maintaining 0.5 mm fabrication precision.

Optimized secondary member layout and flange notching increased tower strength.

Design improvements scaled across hundreds of towers of four different types.
