Route Optimiser
Digital solutions
Improve pipeline design capability with spatial constraints, cost and engineering design all considered in one place
Selecting the optimal route for pipelines is complex and data-intensive. Designing pipeline routes has traditionally relied on multiple datasets, manual assessments and iterative design processes, which can be time-consuming and is often completed using multiple different software platforms and methods.
By combining data, engineering rules and cost analysis in one solution, Route Optimiser enables teams to quickly identify and refine viable routes, reducing manual effort and improving design confidence from the outset.
Streamlining end-to-end pipeline design
Moata Route Optimiser allows all the different parts of the pipeline design team to collaborate in one geospatial environment, bringing in lots of different datasets into one place. The designer remains in control by designing the plan route considering the constraints data, and then in a matter of minutes Moata Route Optimiser can produce an optimised pipeline long section considering user inputs such as allowable depths of cover and gradients.
Moata Route Optimiser can also estimate capital, operational and whole life costs, and produce hydraulic calculations – this allows designers to quickly assess the benefits of each design option. All of this capability allows designers to design better pipeline routes and do it faster.
Improved route selection confidence
Combines multiple data sources and engineering inputs to support more robust decisions.
Greater efficiency in design processes
Reduces time spent on manual assessments and iterative redesign.
Better alignment between design and delivery
Supports collaboration in one software platform and ensures routes are informed by real-world constraints, costs and constructability considerations.
Proven outcomes
-
4-10%Outturn saving vs best modern alternative, this estimate in construction savings is based on a number of different case studies
-
Up to 40%Design savings vs traditional delivery, reduce pure design cost in preparing, checking and approving standard calculations and drawings, including long section drawings
-
Up to 10%Design programme savings per project, based on reduced design input, long section drawing production and single sources of truth for information sharing
Smarter route identification
Identifies feasible potential pipeline routes using mapped constraints and spatial data.
Integrated collaboration
Allows all parts of the design team to collaborate in one place.
Automated vertical profiles
Applies user defined engineering criteria to produce pipeline long sections (vertical profiles) in a matter of minutes.
Cost optimisation
Uses cost models to estimate capital, operational and whole life costs, and see how different design decision impact these costs.
Hydraulic analysis
Performs hydraulic calculations to support route validation and optimisation.
Generates quick design exports
Generates outputs that can be exported for further detailed design (such as landxml for Civil 3D).
