Use case

Pipeline routing optimization (H₂)

Problem

Planning pipeline connections is complex. The process can take years, and it is hard to identify the optimal route and location for pumps and pressure reduction stations. Communication with teams and the public is challenging and inefficient.

Solution

Our Pathfinder Software available on the cloud helps renewable companies, utilities, authorities, and engineering and construction companies to make pipeline planning more accessible, efficient, and cost effective.

Key Features

  • Automate routing of pipelines for oil/gas transportation with easy digital workflow
  • Fast configuration of regulatory constraints andcustomizable weighting of key elements
  • Advanced analytics showing detailed scenarios,measuring risks and costs with better data
  • Dynamic and interactive 3D visuals to improve communication with communities and teams

Key Benefits

  • Save time and money by customizing what is measured to get the data you need while reducing field visits and supporting remote monitoring
  • Improve communication by generating multiple scenarios in a few clicks to compare alternatives transparently and objectively
  • Make better decisions with more detailed scenarios based on the latest and most relevant data and satellite images
  • Light workflow divided into three simple steps:
    1. Upload GIS data
    2. Generate pathways
    3. Get visuals and metrics

Data management and automated routing and comparison of pipeline connection alternatives

Our smart algorithms help planners identify multiple corridors in seconds, making comparison digital and efficient. Set buffer distances to meet local regulation and topography requirements quickly. No need for GIS experience. Analyze and export spatial data in multiple formats for easy integration into existing tools.
