THE DECISIONS THAT SHAPE YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE

More than routes. A complete
view of infrastructure systems.

A route corridor bends around a land constraint, with an alternative route shown for comparison.
ROUTES01

Which route?

Compare viable routes against engineering, environmental and land constraints.

Three candidate sites, with one highlighted for closer assessment.
SITES02

Which sites?

Assess locations for infrastructure assets and future interconnections.

Several inputs connect through a shared hub to two demand sites.
CONNECTIONS03

How to connect?

Model connections between assets, routes and the wider network.

A connected network with several possible paths between assets.
NETWORKS04

Which network?

Explore network configuration as a decision variable.

Different asset sizes and demand levels illustrate the capacity decision.
CAPACITY05

How much capacity?

Test sizing and technology options against project requirements.

Infrastructure assets are added in successive development stages.
PHASING06

What comes first?

Explore staged delivery and the sequence of infrastructure investment.

INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS OPTIMISATION

Optimise
the system.

Infrastructure investment depends on what a network must carry, how it connects and when demand arrives. Explore those engineering and investment choices together.

Our research foundations connect route selection, hydraulic sizing and staged investment under uncertain demand. Work with the team to define the methods your project needs.

CHANGE AN ASSUMPTION

3 · PHASING

Review one build sequence.

Example planning views*

A single planning case

One view of the future.

Illustration of a single route between two points.
  • One demand forecast
  • A fixed capacity assumption
  • One investment sequence
  • A starting point to test

The RunPilot approach

Engineering and investment, together.

Illustration of several connected routes across an infrastructure network.
  • Connect routes and engineering inputs
  • Examine capacity and timing
  • Test changing demand assumptions
  • Review with your technical team

APIs, INTEGRATIONS & TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIPS

Engineering intelligence,
in your workflow.

You don’t have to adopt a whole platform to work with RunPilot. Start with the integration, project or technical partnership you need, while keeping your existing tools and decision processes.

CONNECT TO YOUR WORKFLOW

Scope an API connection.

Explore how RunPilot’s analysis could be accessed from the tools you already use. Agree the inputs, outputs and interface around a defined infrastructure decision.

A fit for teams looking to bring engineering intelligence into an existing application or process.

Discuss an integration

Your tools stay at the centre.

A conceptual API connection sends inputs from your existing tools through an agreed interface to RunPilot, then returns results for use in your own decision workflow.

Ways to work together*

Bring your use case, existing systems and engineering requirements. We’ll work with you to define the right approach.

FROM EVIDENCE TO ACTION

A clear workflow
from data to decisions.

01
INPUT LAYERS
Imported spatial layers and a table of project inputs.

Import project and GIS data

Bring in your spatial data, constraints, demand and technical inputs.

02
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
Three visibly different network options generated from the same inputs.

Generate system options

Explore alternative routes, sites, connections and network configurations.

03
COMPARISON MATRIX
An illustrative options matrix comparing cost, land and timing. Coloured marks indicate different assessments, not measured scores.OptionCostLandTimingABC

Compare trade-offs

Evaluate options across cost, engineering, land, environment and delivery criteria.

04
REVISED PLAN
A revised option avoids a newly highlighted constraint and adds a connection point.

Refine and iterate

Update assumptions, test new scenarios and refine as evidence changes.

Engineering-aware option generation

Generate options that reflect technical constraints and real-world delivery considerations.

Evidence for comparison

Make trade-offs visible and retain the evidence behind your decisions.

Scenario testing

Explore how different assumptions, technologies and constraints affect the preferred option.

Earlier visibility of delivery exposure

Consider environmental, land and planning constraints while options are still open.

* Diagrams show example workflows. Integration interfaces, engineering methods and delivery are agreed for each project.
