A smarter approach to gas network design
SBS software delivers better designs faster, with automation that eliminates manual data entry and improves accuracy from the start. Create high-quality, build-ready construction packages that keep projects on schedule, on budget, and compliant with evolving safety standards.
Trusted by industry leaders
Built on decades of experience in utility design and construction, SBS solutions are trusted by leading gas utilities and engineering firms around the world.
Gain the SBS Advantage
Automate design and validation
Accelerate gas network design and reduce risk by automating time-consuming tasks such as service routing, pressure zone checks, and valve placement. Improve accuracy and free engineers to focus on higher-value work.
Build compliance and standards into every design
Ensure that every design starts out aligned with regulatory requirements and company specifications configured in design templates. Reduce rework and simplify reviews across internal teams and contractors.
Connect design directly with GIS and asset systems
Integrate seamlessly with GIS, ERP, and EAM platforms to share data automatically, generate accurate BOMs, and reduce rework between design and construction.
Get new designers up and running faster
With a familiar AutoCAD-based toolset and embedded gas-specific standards, new hires and contractors can produce accurate, build-ready designs faster, shortening onboarding time and boosting team efficiency.
Built for the evolving gas network landscape
Deliver projects faster
When design data flows seamlessly between engineering and enterprise systems, your teams deliver construction packages that meet quality standards the first time. That means reduced field rework, faster permitting, and safer service for communities.
Manage contractors with confidence
Validate contractor designs automatically against your standards before submission, ensuring quality and reducing QA/QC time. When standards evolve, update your configuration templates once and instantly distribute the changes, keeping everyone aligned and consistent.
Minimize risk during system migrations
Whether you are moving to a new GIS, EAM, or asset platform, SBS keeps your design workflow insulated from disruption. Continue producing, reviewing, and approving designs while syncing to both legacy and test systems.
