Technical Toolboxes has announced the acquisition of the software assets of B3PE LLC, including the widely trusted GASCalc™ and GASWorkS™ applications. The acquisition also includes the StationManager™, WaterCalc™ and LiquidCalc™ software assets.
The acquisition represents a milestone in Technical Toolboxes’ commitment to supporting the gas utility and distribution sector with purpose-built tools. The move allows the company to expand its offerings, accelerate innovation and continue delivering technical depth and support that B3PE customers have relied on for decades.
Jim Schuchart, CEO of Technical Toolboxes, said: “We couldn’t be happier to continue the innovation on the B3PE LLC software assets, building on what their team has done for decades now. We look forward to better serving the needs within the utility market globally with this acquisition.”
B3PE will continue to operate as an independent utility consulting firm. The acquisition includes only the software products.
Bradley Bean, senior partner & managing member at B3PE LLC, said: “I felt that Technical Toolboxes was the right steward for our technology moving forward. They have committed to continue to expand and improve the products, and support our existing customer base for years to come.”
Looking Ahead: The Future of GASCalc and GASWorkS within Technical Toolboxes
- Bradley Bean joins Technical Toolboxes as a consultant to assist during the transition phase and as an advisor on the company’s Pipeline Expert Board

- Technical Toolboxes will build on these products using the power and recognized innovation of its cloud-based Pipeline HUB platform
New Innovation for GASCalc Customers and Utility Operators

Customer-Centered Approach
Technical Toolboxes has positioned itself as a trusted software partner for pipeline engineers across North America by placing customers at the centre of its operations. The company is bringing the same approach to the gas utility space with these new software assets.
