Three months of manual route analysis, delivered in minutes
A large natural gas utility evaluated route options for a 20-inch transmission line through a dense metro area. Pivvot returned detailed crossing and impact reports in minutes. The same analysis run manually had taken the utility roughly three months.
The challenge
Routing a 20-inch natural gas transmission line through a dense metro area means comparing options against a crowded field of crossings and impacts, then being able to show your work afterward.
The utility had run a similar project manually before. It took roughly three months. On a schedule measured in weeks, that makes route comparison the constraint rather than the analysis.
What they did
The utility brought its route options to Pivvot:
- Multiple route options analyzed against current data rather than assembled by hand from separate sources
- Detailed crossing and impact reports returned in minutes across every option under consideration
- Defendable documentation produced for stakeholders with the underlying data traceable
Every alignment was evaluated against the same current data, so the team could compare routes side by side instead of reconciling separate sources one option at a time.
The result
Using Pivvot data, the utility confirmed its optimal route and shaved months off the project schedule by avoiding manual data collection and analysis.
The reports carried enough detail to support the selected alignment and defend it under stakeholder review.
The three months spent on the previous project were not spent making better decisions. They were spent assembling data.
