Case Study: New York Power Authority achieves streamlined engineering productivity and collaboration with Accruent's Meridian

Energizing Engineering Productivity and Collaboration Across Power Generation Sites

New York Power Authority (NYPA), the largest state-operated power provider in the U.S., operates 16 generation facilities and over 1,400 circuit‑miles of transmission managed by hundreds of engineers. Facing a more competitive market and major refurbishing projects, NYPA needed to streamline CAD and maintenance workflows across five independent sites because data transfer and access were slow, field engineers and third‑party vendors lacked easy access to design files, and managing legacy drawings was cumbersome.

NYPA deployed Accruent Meridian to manage about 60,000 engineering drawings (including scanned legacy files), enabling viewing and printing without CAD software, a single common user interface, and import of legacy data from multiple sources. The implementation delivered standardized workflows, full search and reporting, secure cross‑site sharing, faster access for field and vendor users, improved productivity, and better compliance with complex regulations.
