Ple4Win is maintained and marketed by Expert Design Systems B.V. (EDS), an entity established to manage the software independently and ensure continuity for its users. EDS works in close collaboration with r+k Consulting Engineers B.V., and both organizations are part of the BT Engineering Group — a multidisciplinary group of engineering specialists operating in infrastructure, geotechnics, structural mechanics, and materials.

This organizational structure ensures long-term support and development. It also gives the advantage that users of Ple4Win not only benefit from a powerful analytical tool, but also have access to a broader network of experts who can support with questions that go beyond software — including project support, custom model development, forensic analysis, regulatory support, or multidisciplinary engineering consultancy.

As the owner and developer of the program, EDS continues to play a vital role in its evolution and application. Decades of experience in pipeline mechanics, especially in complex environments such as soft delta soils or offshore conditions, have helped shape the functionality and reliability of the software.

Users of Ple4Win not only benefit from a proven analysis tool but also from the unique opportunity to draw on the consulting support of the group companies surrounding EDS. Whether it's guidance on interpreting complex analysis results, support in modelling challenging geotechnical scenarios, or advice on design optimization and code compliance, the teams of r+k Consulting Engineers B.V. and BT Engineering B.V. are available to assist. This collaboration ensures that users can rely not just on software, but on trusted engineering insight, especially in cases where projects require bespoke solutions or multidisciplinary knowledge.

Through this close partnership, EDS offers more than just calculations — it provides access to a network of professionals who understand the broader technical, regulatory, and practical context in which pipeline systems operate.
