DIS-TRAN Steel expands PTC Mathcad use and reduces RFP work by 80%
- 1. DIS-TRAN Steel expands PTC Mathcad use and reduces RFP work by 80% DIS-TRAN Steel, LLC has been providing the utility industry transmission and substation steel structures for over 45 years. They are the ELITE substation and transmission steel supplier. These structures include tapered tubular poles, wide flange, square tube, and lattice structures. “On a recent project, initially it took me 15 hours to perform the calculations I needed for a single structure. I downloaded PTC Mathcad and finished the next structure in just 3 hours. "PTC Mathcad is reducing the overhead costs associated with preparing proposals. It freed me up to work on other bids and more creative projects." Preston Gleason, Procurement Coordinator 1

When a bid project involving metric conversions became unwieldy, an engineer suggested PTC Mathcad. Gleason learned the software quickly. Performing calculations for an electrical substation job became dramatically quicker. Where one structure had taken him two working days to bid, with PTC Mathcad, he needed only 20 minutes to do the same calculations. Note that as a Proposal Coordinator, Gleason’s work isn’t billed to clients. So, fast, accurate work is vital in his role. The engineering team at DIS-TRAN Steel also uses PTC Mathcad in their daily work.
