## Standardization of Intelligent Design Processes

*Monday, July 13 | 1 p.m. Central*

Current substation engineering and design processes are undergoing a fundamental transformation. Engineers are being tasked to do more with less. Project scopes evolve, requirements and regulations mount, while deadlines and budgets remain constant or, even worse, tighten. These are the challenges of modern-day substation engineering projects. Learn how the benefits of a standardized approach using intelligent design processes can solve these issues, drive quality, create consistency and mitigate project risk.
