Context Capture Automates 3D Modeling for Brownfield Projects, Resulting in a 50 Percent Reduction in Modeling Costs Modeling Brownfield Substations The San Francisco-based Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) owns and operates more than 1,000 transmission and distribution substations spanning two-thirds of California. The Substation Engineering Department has been struggling to keep up with the volume of projects, given the push to modernize the electric grid. About 95 percent of the utility’s USD 1 billion substation budget goes to brownfield locations, where existing infrastructure is primarily documented by 2D drawings.
