Optioneer enables a good first assessment at routing. It provides more certainty as to whether a route is optimal as well as better alternatives and can save several days work just to get a starting point. It’s a powerful tool and can very quickly provide lots of useful metrics.
Darren Cuming
Head of Onshore Wind Development
EDF Power Solutions
I’m very pleased with the result. It would be a lot less time-consuming to start future routes this way. By using Optioneer to get the base route and then applying our expert judgment to fine-tune it, we only need to spend some time finalising routes, rather than building them from scratch.
Harrie Olde Heuvel
Senior Engineer
Vitens
This has truly been an extraordinarily positive experience. Having worked in contract management for a substantial period, it's rare to receive such over-delivery. Despite the typical challenges in project management, the support was outstanding and the product actually improved in terms of delivery. This exceptional experience is why we are recommending Optioneer internally for use on future projects.
Bryan O'Connor
Project Manager
SSE Renewables
Optioneer has greatly accelerated our routing process, which has been a significant advantage for the East Coast Hydrogen project. In the past, it would take us an entire month to develop just one route, but with Optioneer, we can generate multiple routes and alternatives within a matter of days. The convenience of having all the work consolidated on one platform has been incredibly valuable to us.
Suman Giri
Design Manager East Coast Hydrogen Project
NGN
The tool's features are intuitive but the real value lies in the autonomy it offers us. We can review everything in one place, independently or with a team, and in greater detail. Having been part of routing exercises for multiple developments, we cannot envisage how we would have undertaken this project without Optioneer. It's incredible we have been able to accomplish what we have so far with the time and manpower we have had available.
Kirstin Gardner
Energy Futures Project Manager

“We can run a route in half a day with Optioneer compared to weeks with GIS only. As well as saving us a considerable amount of time, the platform took away a lot of the desk work and allowed our specialists to focus on what they do best. It gave us the knowledge and confidence we needed going into the HND exercise. The platform itself is visually impressive and has proven a helpful collaborative working tool for external stakeholder interactions, as well as internal multi-disciplinary meetings. ”
Helen Snodin
Senior Grid and Regulations Manager
The Muir Mhòr project team
"Optioneer helped the project overcome a programme risk and provided detailed overhead line (OHL) alignment options for the proposed wind farm development. The process significantly reduced traditional timescales required for detailed OHL routing and the team at Continuum effectively adapted to the project needs, delivered on time and provided excellent support following the completion of the OHL alignment options"
Conal Brown
Senior Development Project Manager
SSEN Transmission
“Using Optioneer on the Aberdeen Vision hydrogen pipeline gave us the confidence early on that all possible alternative routes were assessed against environmental, social, engineering and cost criteria and that we were putting the best options forward. When the team got out on site, we found that the route required much fewer modifications than we would have normally expected”
Phil Bradwell
Energy Futures Manager
SGN
"The New Pipeline AI Routing innovation project with Continuum Industries positively demonstrated the tangible advantages of utilising a system such as Optioneer for hydrogen transmission route selection. The benefits specifically in time saving compared to traditional methods were clear and of real value"
Ian Bennett
Innovation Delivery Manager
National Gas
With the help of AI software Optioneer, a significant number of routes were evaluated in greater detail than would be possible with traditional engineering approaches, particularly in the offshore domain.
Project Manager
Energia Group
“We have had a great experience using Optioneer to assess route options for a new pipeline scheme. Normally, it would take us months to review and iterate on multiple routes through environmentally sensitive and protected locations, but we've been able to complete our work in weeks using Optioneer”
Tamzyn Janes
Project Manager
Southern Water
“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”
