Case Study: Plains All American Pipeline cuts environmental due diligence time with Transect

Plains All American Pipeline - Customer Case Study

Plains All American Pipeline, a midstream energy infrastructure company, faced challenges with its manual process for environmental due diligence. Relying on in-house reports compiled with tools like Google Earth and external GIS data was inefficient. For larger projects, they had to hire third-party consultants to complete biological and cultural reviews, which was time-consuming. They sought a more efficient solution and found it with the Transect platform.

By implementing Transect, Plains All American was able to streamline its environmental process. The solution cut their due diligence time by 40% and provided deliverables they rated as 200% better than their previous homegrown reports. Transect enabled the company to handle both smaller projects in-house and permitting reviews for larger capital projects, establishing itself as a valued partner focused on project success.
