RouteStudy

Automated Pipeline Alignment Software: Alignment Alternatives, Utility Conflicts, Permitting, Cost Estimates

Route a pipeline corridor in an afternoon, not a quarter.

A study, not a line on a map. Give it a corridor and your own project data; it returns four alternatives you can put in front of a client and defend.

Alignment — scored alternative 1 of 4, three crossings shown

Four scored alternatives

A balanced route, one that minimizes new acquisition, one that minimizes length, one that minimizes conflicts — so you compare tradeoffs instead of accepting a single answer.

A crossing schedule

Every road, rail, waterway and utility crossing, stationed, with a trenchless-or-open-cut call on each one and the rule that decided it.

A Class 5 cost estimate

Line-itemed and escalated to your construction year, on rates derived from published TxDOT bid tabs, banded as an AACE Class 5 screening estimate and labeled as one.

The permits, and where

Which permits the alignment will need and which crossing or segment triggers each one — so the long-lead approvals surface while the route can still move.

A vertical profile

Ground, pipe and cover along the alignment — gravity inverts and manholes on a sewer, depth of cover and valve locations on a pressure line.

Built on the public sources you would pull by hand — TxDOT roadway and right-of-way, the statewide parcel fabric, USFWS wetlands, USGS hydrography and 3DEP terrain, FEMA floodplain. Utility and easement data never comes from a central database: it comes from your project and stays there. Everything exports — shapefile, GeoJSON or KML, the schedule as Excel, the memo as PDF.

Drainage Study

Drainage Study Software: Watershed Delineation, Runoff Mitigation, Land Development Planning

Drop a point. Get the flow.

Drainage Study delineates the watershed above any culvert, crossing or parcel, then runs it. The feasibility answer takes about a minute, and every number behind it stays visible.

The watershedDelineated from 10 m USGS 3DEP terrain and snapped to the pour point for the kind of point you dropped.
Rainfall, soilsNOAA Atlas 14 depths and SSURGO hydrologic soil groups, fetched live for that catchment.
Time of concentrationMeasured off the longest flow path — sheet, shallow concentrated and channel, each on its own surveyed slope.
Flow and storageTR-55 runoff and hydrographs, routed by modified Puls, with a detention pond sized across every storm.
Land developmentScreen a parcel before you buy it — how much detention the site will owe, and how much developable ground that leaves.
Catchment A — 2.4 ac

Your 12-inch pipe handles it, with 31% capacity to spare.
