Use Cases
Learn how we help clients better manage risk and save time and money in the project process.
Long term grid planning
Identify which assets to invest in by combining power flow analysis and detailed analysis of costs, environmental, regulatory, and engineering requirements.
Transmission line & lower voltage routing
Easily identify corridors and quantitatively identify the best routes.
Tunneling
Identify where tunnels are more convenient than surface or overhead infrastructure planning.
Hybrid planning combining overhead lines and underground cables
Hybrid planning combining overhead lines and underground cables as a result of project and topography restrictions.
Earth cable routing
Visualization of subsurface utilities data and calculated earth cable paths.
Sub station siting
Determine the optimal location for sub stations for line and cable projects with detailed analysis of local elements such as land parcels, visual impact, and environmental limitations.
Stakeholder engagement
Pathfinder’s data-driven approach fosters transparency among stakeholders, promoting engagement and collaboration, by visualizing and communicating various infrastructure scenarios and their potential impacts.
Cost estimation for tenders
Get more accurate tender cost estimations for route and cable connection by quantifying regulatory and environmental risk, CAPEX, OPEX and other constraints.
Environmental feasibility process
Understand and quantify the environmental impacts in the predesign phase for a line or cable project
Renewables grid connection
Analyze offshore, onshore, overhead, cable, and subsea connections. Also identify the optimal route to connect a renewable plants to the grid.
Site selection for wind and solar
Compare land parcels quantitatively using analytics to identify the best location.
Wind farm layout planning
Save time calculating and comparing feeder connections in renewables layout planning projects.
Pipeline routing optimization (H₂)
Simplify the review of technical, terrain, and environmental restrictions and minimize project impacts during the pipeline planning stage.
Investment feasibility study
Conduct a fast feasibility study to decide when to invest in a cable, grid, or renewables project by quickly calculating costs and quantifying requirements.
