Continuum Industries prepared key deliverables and turned data into a beautiful visualisation using a team of experts Garry Stewart.

Optioneer™ is an AI-powered, GIS-based transmission planning and development platform that enables utilities and developers to evaluate a broader range of project concepts in greater detail, supporting informed go/no-go decisions and strategic resource allocation. The platform identifies optimal routes by integrating geospatial data with advanced routing algorithms to evaluate cost, technical feasibility, environmental impacts, and permitting considerations. Rapid evaluation of routing alternatives, combined with configurable weights and penalties established by subject matter experts, supports consistent and defensible planning. The planning of new linear infrastructure projects is often lengthy and requires taking into account a multitude of technical considerations and reconciling the often competing viewpoints of various stakeholders. At Continuum Industries, we aim to accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy by enabling faster, lower-risk and more environmentally conscious project development for power, utility and renewables companies. Our solution, Optioneer™, leverages geospatial data combined with design and planning rules and tests millions of potential routing alternatives against project-specific environmental, social, cost and technical considerations. Our AI-powered platform generates a shortlist of tailored options, in just a few hours. Using Optioneer’s user-friendly interface, the project team is able to compare and evaluate the shortlisted routes against key performance indicators, iterate when new data arises and keep a record of key decisions made during the process. Optioneer drives efficiencies across every project, streamlining collaboration and facilitating more dynamic engagement with stakeholders. It's time to make infrastructure projects work smarter, not harder.
