Enghouse Systems Launches PowerWORKS™ APD (Automated Plat Design) Miami FL, Distributech 2000 - (March 1st, 2000) - Enghouse Systems Limited [TSE: ESL] announces the launch of PowerWORKS™ APD (Automated Plat Design), a powerful software application that reduces the cost associated with designs and workflow required for the underground residential electric and gas services. Recent studies with existing PowerWORKS™ APD customers, have documented savings from $15,000USD- $25,000USD on the design and construction of a 100-home subdivision. For a mid-size utility, this means annual savings of over $1,000,000USD. Such savings are achieved in a two-fold manner: PowerWORKS™ APD uses patented logic algorithms that create an initial design that is already close to optimal. The application enables the designer to easily change individual or groups of parameters to test for even better performance, all the while keeping track of material and labor costs to construct each design. Andrew Nellestyn, President and CEO states, "PowerWORKS™ APD is a phenomenal tool which enables utility companies to save valuable time, money and resources by providing a fully interactive plat design layout for new residential developments. Enghouse continues to be committed to forging strong alliances with our customers by offering a premium service to suit the needs of the newly deregulated utility industry." PowerWORKS™ APD is a windows- based, fully interactive graphical design application for construction design of electric distribution facilities. Two compelling features are the ability to lower the construction costs through improved utility designs, and the ability to allow customers total control over design standards. Other benefits include automatic engineering calculations.
