Tackling decarbonisation and the transition to net zero means radically transforming the vast network of energy infrastructure which makes the modern world go. To meet this unprecedented challenge, we need to build considerably more infrastructure at an unprecedented pace.

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.

At Continuum Industries, we work with developers, electricity companies and water and gas utilities to take their linear transmission projects from concept to permit as fast as possible and at the lowest possible risk.

Proven to bring 12 months of work down to 2 months, the Optioneer technology combines geospatial data with planning rules and Artificial Intelligence to do more faster and earlier.

Our partners typically use the Optioneer tool for:
- Early-stage network planning (strategic optioneering)
- Corridor and route identification and optioneering / assessment of alternatives
- Documentation of alternatives for permitting
- Environmental Impact Assessment / Statement
- Stakeholder engagement

Optioneer supports overhead lines, underground and marine cables, water pipelines and hydrogen/gas pipelines.

It de-risks and accelerates projects by drastically increasing the number of design options and the level of detail that can be efficiently assessed early for linear projects.

Our customers include the likes of National Grid, SSE, Vattenfall, bp, Mainstream Renewable Power and National Gas Transmission.
