BUILT FOR GAS UTILITY ENGINEERING

PLTB-U is purpose-built for utility providers managing smaller networks, focused asset footprints, and lean engineering teams. 

If you need: 

  • Core hydraulics for distribution systems 
  • Defined diameter ranges and operating pressures 
  • Routine stress and wall thickness validation 
  • Pressure and hydrostatic testing documentation 
  • Standard regulatory support 

PLTB-U delivers exactly what you use, without the expanded calculation libraries designed for complex transmission systems.

PLTB-U vs PLTB

PLTB-U is ideal if you: 

  • Operate a utility-scale gas or liquid system
  • Work with pipe diameters up to 24″ OD 
  • Manage defined operating pressure ranges common to gas utilities 
  • Have a small engineering or compliance team 
  • Need consistent, standardized calculations 
  • Want to move away from uncontrolled spreadsheets 
  • Do not require the full 250+ calculation transmission library 
  • Prefer a cloud-based platform with no installs, no desktop software, and no internal IT dependency 

 

 

 

PLTB remains the right solution if you: 

  • Manage complex transmission or multi-system pipeline networks 
  • Require access to 250+ liquid and gas engineering calculations 
  • Regularly perform advanced crossings analysis, including HDD and road, rail, and water crossings 
  • Design and evaluate custom or larger than 24″ OD pipeline systems 
  • Operate in higher pressure environments requiring expanded modeling capability 
  • Design and evaluate larger diameter pipe systems 
  • Run multi-scenario modeling across diverse asset classes and operating conditions 
  • Need expanded stress analysis, hydraulics modeling, and advanced engineering validation 

GROW AS YOUR SYSTEM GROWS 

 

Start with the platform that fits your current operational footprint. 

As regulatory demands expand or system complexity increases, you can scale into the full PLTB environment. 

Many organizations deploy PLTB and PLTB-U across different business units to align capability with operational need.
