Pipeline & Cable Routing

Routing linear infrastructure is a complex balance of engineering, environmental, and commercial constraints. I specialise in least‑cost path modelling and corridor optimisation for pipelines, power cables, and fibre routes.

Least‑Cost Path Modelling

• Custom cost surfaces incorporating terrain, land use, geology, hydrology, and constraints
• Multiple route alternatives
• Sensitivity testing for weighting scenarios

Corridor Optimisation

• 50–500 m corridor generation
• Environmental and engineering risk scoring
• Identification of pinch points and high‑risk segments

Feasibility & Pre‑FEED Support

• Early-stage routing for concept design
• Crossings, access, and constructability considerations
• Integration with engineering teams and survey contractors

Deliverables

• GIS route files (polyline + corridor polygons)
• Cost surface rasters
• Route comparison matrices
• Clear, decision-ready mapping

Why Clients Choose This Service

• 30+ years routing pipelines and cables across varied terrain
• Automated, repeatable models for transparent decision-making
