Case Study: Asian Development Bank reduces project risk and speeds planning with Transcend Design Generator

Asian Development Bank speeds WWTP planning to 8–12 weeks with Transcend

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) faced significant risk factors related to cost and time due to land constraints for a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) project in Dhaka. The customer's primary challenge was minimizing the facility's footprint in the dense city. To address this, ADB utilized the Transcend Design Generator (TDG) from vendor Transcend.

Transcend's solution generated over ten compact, site-specific concept design options, which was five times more than typically evaluated. This provided data-driven insights that streamlined planning and expedited decision-making from 8-10 months down to 8-12 weeks. The results included a major reduction in project risk and cost by identifying options with features like deeper reaction tanks and a phased build-out.
