San Francisco’s public works department is saving as much as 2,000 hours annually on projects with AutoCAD 3D
Public Works and Utilities Solutions
Today’s public works and publicly-owned utility organizations depend on sophisticated water distribution and wastewater collection networks to meet their needs. Often time network GIS data is in different file formats or different locations and public sector planning and mapping professionals are then tasked with integrating maps in a CAD environment.

The Autodesk suite of products can help. With AutoCAD Map 3D you can successfully integrate your agencies GIS data, fully harness the power of their data by bridging the gap between engineering and GIS departments.
By integrating previously disparate islands of CAD and GIS data into a common, centralized framework, your agency can improve the efficiency of business processes and reduce the redundancy of information.
DLT has partnered with Autodesk to provide extensive 3D design solutions for utilities and public works, helping to increase efficiency and improve data accuracy across the workflow, so better decisions can be made faster.
Explore our resources to learn how to bring the entire lifecycle of any public works project – design, build, operate, and maintain – into a single workflow.
You’ll find quick and easy access to the information you need about Autodesk solutions for public works and utilities.
Gas and Electric Utilities Solutions
In the Electric utilities space, DLT has partner with the industries best provider electric utilities solutions EDSA.
Government doesn’t have the luxury of cutting corners or thinking small. It’s in the business of protecting the lives and well-being of millions of citizens… and none of its assets – the world’s most powerful aircraft carriers, safest coast-to-coast air traffic control system, or largest data centers – can be compromised by electrical system faults.
Regardless of your branch of government, you’re on the front lines. For more than 20 years, EDSA has provided electrical power system design and simulation software used to ensure the fail-safe operation of data and network operations centers.
