Accelerate Environmental Assessments for Linear Infrastructure

De-Risk & Accelerate Linear Infrastructure Projects
Our Pathfinder platform uses advanced digital analysis to identify optimal, compliant routes in a fraction of the time, significantly reducing project costs and timelines.
Completing Environmental Assessments for linear infrastructure projects in Canada is a complex and time-consuming process. Navigating stringent regulations, evaluating numerous environmental and socio-economic parameters, and incorporating stakeholder feedback often leads to prolonged timelines that delay critical projects. Pathfinder is the innovative solution designed to accelerate these crucial feasibility, routing, and analysis phases.
Our Solution: The Pathfinder Platform
Pathfinder is a GIS-based cloud platform that automates the complex analysis required for environmental assessments. The tool allows our team to create and compare multiple planning scenarios, generating numerous routing alternatives and their associated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with the click of a button. This enables a real-time comparison of the pros and cons of each route, identifying the most feasible and optimal paths to carry forward for a full assessment.
We combine this deep routing expertise with specialized capabilities in environmental assessments and permitting. This integrated approach ensures that every project we undertake not only adheres to stringent industry standards but is also precisely tailored to the unique requirements and objectives of our clients.

The Pathfinder Advantage
Time Savings: Our team can accelerate the initial routing assessment, compressing environmental assessment timelines by months.
Cost Savings: By assessing all possible routes upfront, Pathfinder reduces downstream costs by giving you a complete picture before initiating costly, detailed field studies and site investigations.
Results Accuracy: The platform’s automated routing and KPI calculations outperform traditional methods, delivering highly accurate results that minimize project impacts.
Transparency: With data-driven KPIs and clear visualizations, Pathfinder allows your team to evaluate risks and options in a more standardized and transparent manner.
