What is OpenUtilities Designer?
OpenUtilities Designer enables intelligent design of electrical systems and substations while adhering to current engineering codes and standards. This software facilitates the design and management of electric, gas, water, wastewater, or district energy networks with precise layout features based on MicroStation that integrate seamlessly with common GIS systems. It allows for quick refinement of designs and simultaneous cost calculation. The built-in workflow management capabilities help you assign, track, and manage work efficiently, preventing project delays. Additionally, the embedded, full-featured utilities GIS maintains network models and maps, reducing software costs.
Lower Deployment Costs

Avoid project delays while you create, assign, manage, and approve works orders and track project status.
Leverage interoperable formats
Create a digital twin with your design data using the Bentley iTwin platform for comprehensive grid models.Efficiently stream online
Produce multiresolution meshes made of billions of triangles that are optimized for streaming and web publishing.- Improve Collaboration
Stream your model in web applications powered by iTwins.
OpenUtilities Designer is a robust software application that helps you design and manage your electric, gas, water, wastewater, or district energy network. The application allows you to speed the design process with precise MicroStation®-based layout features that integrate with common GIS systems. OpenUtilities Designer’s estimation capabilities lower project costs by enabling designers to quickly refine their designs and calculate cost at the same time. The software allows you to use built-in workflow management capabilities to assign, track, manage work, and avoid delays on your project. Additionally, an embedded, full-featured utilities GIS maintains your network models and maps, enabling you to lower your software costs.
OpenUtilities Designer speeds brownfield and greenfield layout with smart capabilities that produce precise, high-quality designs. The software enables you to leverage intelligent MicroStation-based design tools within the built-in, OpenCities® Map-based design editor. OpenUtilities Designer saves you time with smart drag-and-drop placement and editing from an interactive catalog of intelligent GIS features and compatible units, which are supported by configurable business rules and standards. Moreover, OpenUtilities Designer helps you achieve the quality that you demand without the inefficiency of traditional GIS-based drawing applications.
OpenUtilities Designer provides real-time cost feedback on each design decision through dynamic cost estimates. The application enables you to create detailed cost breakdowns of labor, materials, and equipment at each work location. You can use the cost estimation feature to compare pricing of alternatives and determine the most cost-effective design.
OpenUtilities Designer’s embedded and configurable workflow engine helps you avoid project delays while enabling you to create, assign, manage, and approve work orders in stand-alone mode or through two-way standard, message-based connection to your work management system. By defining dashboards and reports, managers can track project status and progress.
OpenUtilities Designer allows you to publish high-quality construction documentation directly from the design environment, avoiding the need to redraw designs in a separate CAD application. You can ensure compliance with your construction print-standards with a variety of paper sizes, printers, and plotters, as well as configurable plotting templates that include imagery, legends, north arrows, plotting to scale, and interactively defined grids and graticules.
OpenUtilities Designer enables you to analyze and report leaks for an area or the entire network, as well as helps you to perform upstream/ downstream and shortest/multiple/redundant path traces for flow, conduit, and cathodic protection networks. Additionally, the application’s capabilities let you easily create buffers, overlays, joins, thematic maps, dynamic labels, reports, and queries.
By aligning your engineering data with other associated data and reality models, you can transform it into a digital twin. The iTwin-enabled software enables you to visualize and track engineering changes along project timelines, providing an accountable record of change management.
Add integrated structural analysis workflows and connect to Neara (formerly Power Lines Pro) and Bentley’s SPIDA® software in one application. Accelerate your design process with a unified design environment to eliminate overdesign, reduce capital expenses, and streamline design workflows. Deliver brownfield and greenfield projects faster and experience up to a 20% reduction in design time. Extend joint use workflows for both electric and communication networks to assess communication equipment on electric poles to improve design visibility for joint-use facilities.
