Power utility

A 300-mile transmission corridor, mapped in about a week

Client Great Basin Transmission, LLC

Problem Assessing cultural resources across two states for a proposed 500-kV transmission line

ResultCorridor parcel and landowner data in about a week instead of months

Terracon used Pivvot to pull parcel and landowner data across a 10-mile-wide corridor for the Southwest Intertie Project-North, replacing months of county-by-county assessor research.

Power transmission

Rerouting a transmission corridor off federal land, with over 50% savings on schedule

Client Large EPC

Problem Identify re-routes for an existing electric transmission corridor

ResultOver 50% savings on project schedule time

A right-of-way manager needed to move an existing corridor off federal land. Pivvot Route generated multiple options with county and city data already included, and the least-cost, minimal-impact route won.

Gas transmission and distribution

Three months of manual route analysis, delivered in minutes

Client Large natural gas utility

Problem Evaluate route options for natural gas transmission in a highly populated area

ResultReports in minutes; the same work took roughly three months manually

A 20-inch line through a dense metro area, with crossing and impact reports across every route option returned in minutes. The utility had run the same kind of analysis manually before and it took three months.

Environmental services

A floodplain and a critical species habitat, found in minutes and designed around

Client Large EPC

Problem Create a permit matrix and flag environmental risks

ResultFloodplain and habitat found in minutes, permit count reduced

A workspace sited near a substation turned out to sit in a floodplain and near critical species habitat. Pivvot showed both within minutes, and moving the workspace cut the permits required.

Solar and renewables

Finding usable 200-acre solar sites in a crowded Virginia market

Client Solar developer

Problem Identify feasible sites for solar farms in Virginia

Result200+ acre sites screened for usable area and setbacks up front

Virginia is crowded with developers hunting the same parcels near PJM. Pivvot lets this developer search 200-plus acre sites and evaluate usable area and setbacks before committing time to any of them.

Oil and gas transmission

Wall thickness and materials estimated from crossing data, not assumptions

Client Large EPC

Problem Develop a materials list for a natural gas pipeline project to avoid unforeseen construction costs and delays

ResultMaterials list available much earlier, estimate matched real conditions

Crossing lengths pulled from Pivvot's geospatial analysis determined wall thickness along the route. The materials list arrived early enough to make the cost estimate reflect what the project would actually meet.

Oil and gas transmission

A 24-mile pipeline, budgeted for rock sawing that was never needed

Client Large pipeline operator

Problem Understand construction realities earlier in the project

ResultRock sawing overestimate identified in minutes during design

Rock sawing was budgeted across 24 miles of bedrock, and Final Investment Decision was granted on that number. Analysis in the design phase took minutes and showed the estimate was dramatically high.
