Assessment Criteria
Weigh up every constraint for more robust route analysis
Optioneer’s AI-powered route engine will dissect geospatial data, consider any routing limitations and balance key priorities such as cost or environmental targets to propose the most relevant hydrogen pipeline options for your project.
Environmental Impact
- Avoiding designated sites (e.g. SSSIs, National Parks, RAMSAR, Natura2000)
- Minimising impact on protected habitats
- Minimising impact on environmental receptors within proximity of the asset
Planning
- Minimising number land parcels crossed
- Minimising number of constraints in proximity of the route
- Minimising distance to nearest connection points
Safety
- Avoiding densely populated areas
- Maintaining buffer zones from existing assets
- Ensuring minimum cover based on land type
Engineering & Installation
- Choosing suitable open-cut and trenchless methods
- Identifying crossings linear features
- Avoiding existing underground utilities
- Following of existing right-of-ways
Technical Risks
- Avoiding buildings, functional sites
- Minimising crossing of steep slopes
- Avoiding surface water and flood zones, contaminated or hazardous sites
Cost
- Calculating earthworks volumes and costs
- Calculating required material quantities and associated costs
- Determining high-level construction estimates (costs, access, drainage)

Read case study
“Combined with expert technical review and specialist input across multiple technical criteria, the study allowed a comprehensive relative comparison of the large number of routing options. At the start of the study, Optioneer allowed us to simply and efficiently narrow down the very long list of route options to a manageable shortlist and form a robust basis for further detailed interrogation”
Project Manager

Energia Group
“We used Optioneer’s AI to efficiently seek the most feasible offshore and onshore cable routes, narrowing down millions of options to a shortlist. We then utilised the platform to further refine these routes, simply and efficiently collaborating across the project team, involving engineering, consenting and stakeholder management along with external consultants – all providing inputs within Optioneer to select the most feasible routes”
