Katapult Engineering

Distribution planning demands both mathematical attention to detail and compliance, and creativity to build effective systems. Learn how the right tools play a role in building strategic flexible, grids.

New tech and better services have changed our expectations for the grid. As a result, we need to raise our expectations for the tools we use. Distribution engineers face increasingly complex challenges as our grid evolves. From integrating renewable energy to managing EV charging, the traditional power distribution playbook is being rewritten, and mainstream solutions need to be re-examined. Katapult Pro engineering tools can help distribution designers plan capacity upgrades, model and assess grid impacts, and run pole loading analysis to design safe, effective systems that meet the growing expectations for electric power. Whether you’re planning new networks or upgrading existing infrastructure, Katapult Pro gives your team tools for safer, faster, more informed designs no matter your project.

We're improving the tools you know and use to help your team expand into new areas and explore new applications. Find out how our latest products can help you win in 2025!

Overhead data collection only tells part of the story. To leverage advanced smart technology, we also need to keep a close eye on underground assets!

Updating aging infrastructure does more than avoid failure—it helps ensure a more efficient, more reliable grid, but we need more intuitive tools to help reach those goals. Reconductoring projects are one way to upgrade grid performance, update aging assets, and increase system capacity to accommodate new demand. Unfortunately, it’s also complicated because: ? Many customers (like hospitals and industrial facilities) can’t tolerate outages.? ? Not all sections have alternate feed options, making it impossible to de-energize lines without causing an outage.? ? Working on energized lines is incredibly complex and potentially hazardous. Reconductoring projects need strategic scheduling and tracking to ensure safe execution. Automated notification tools can help keep customers in the know about potential interruptions, and full-stack mapping and management tools help utilities identify live areas and bypass systems to minimize the impact of outages. Workflow management tools with permitting and inspection processes help make sure new improvements are built correctly. Grid upgrades are going to require us to flex our creative muscles to build tools that tackle these challenges. Our workflow management offering helps coordinate projects like reconductoring for smoother rollout. For more info, shoot us an email at [email protected]!??

Accurate inventories give critical info on poles and assets. Ask the right questions early to make sure you’re gathering the right information and following the best process to produce the best deliverables for your clients!

Distributed energy resources are an example of how advanced tech is changing the distribution landscape. Discover what utilities are looking for as they build a smarter grid.

When it comes to managing projects and workflows, the ability to track who does what and when is priceless. Workflow management software should give full visibility into project statuses and updates—better transparency means more timely feedback, which in turn improves processes and saves on calendar days. Katapult Pro tracks application, design, and other database changes for better reporting and better workflow management. Attribute tracking logs user actions and project changes, and lets you provide feedback to specific users. As statuses advance, preset actions and auto-timers prompt new processes to start. Using logged info, you can create KPI and timeline dashboards to ensure processes are healthy and comply with regulations. Track changes, analyze your data, and get the insights you need to effectively and efficiently bring services to your customers.
