Preliminary Pipeline Route Optimization (PPRO) is a GIS-enabled tool that analyzes engineering, environmental, land, and constructability factors to generate least cost and minimal impact pipeline routes. PPRO can quickly create multiple pipeline routes and analyze different routing scenarios. The PPRO route(s) can then be overlaid with the PPRO database during route review. PPRO generates impact analysis reports based on the pipeline route as well as potential workspace layouts, environmental study areas, or buffers around the route. PPRO integrates with TRC's data management solution to connect stakeholders to project insights.
