This whitepaper models both strategies side-by-side so you can defend your choice with data. CONFIDENT CONCEPTUAL PLANNING # A structured, defensible record across every consultant you work with Australian water corporations are governing more consultant work than ever, often without a consistent way to see what was delivered, why, or how it holds up against state-based standards. See what a conceptual design output looks like when it's built for that reality using generative design.

Your planning record doesn't have to. Drought <> Floods   Storages can swing from drought to flood risk in the same year NEMP 3.1 Pressures   PFAS and biosolids rules are tightening under NEMP 3.1 Variance by State The ADWG isn't mandatory, so what counts as defensible planning shifts state to state Most of that work still runs through consultants, and that's fine. But someone has to govern it: review what was delivered, know why a call was made, hold it to the same bar every time. Without a structured way to do that, planning history lives in scattered spreadsheets and handoffs. Decisions get lost. Comparing one consultant's output to another gets hard. What You'll Walk Away With A side-by-side CAPEX and OPEX comparison of Chem-P vs. Bio-P for a 56,000 m³/day municipal WWTP Full process schemes, 3D site renders, and equipment lists generated by TDG for both scenarios A decision framework covering process conditions, site constraints, economic factors, and long-term risk — built to support internal sign-off An understanding of where each strategy wins, and where the hybrid approach is the most resilient path ### **A structured record, built for how Australian utilities actually work** **Transcend Design Generator gives your team a structured, consistent record of planning work as it happens**, built with jurisdiction-aware logic so outputs look like something a local engineer would produce, not a generic template you have to translate. This isn't about reducing reliance on consultants. It's about giving you a clearer way to see, compare, and stand behind the planning decisions made on your infrastructure, no matter who's doing the work. In this generative design sample: A standardized output package complete with CAPEX and OPEX planning impact per design A conceptual design output shaped around Australian design standards and terminology How a structured output supports consistent review and comparison across multiple consultant engagements How TDG supports early-stage option evaluation across drought and flood planning scenarios Where PFAS and biosolids considerations show up in the design logic Innovation is the key to anticipating the targets set by the Legal Framework for Sanitation. With new technologies like this one (TDG), we gain agility in planning — a crucial factor for achieving universal access to services by 2029. - Roberval Tavares de Souza, Executive Director of Engineering and Innovation **SABESP** ### **Download the Australia sample output** Get a conceptual design example governed by structured inputs and Australian water planning conditions, from an ADWG-aware, state-by-state perspective.
