Pivvot

By audience

Civil Engineering

• Screens candidate corridors for slope, karst, depth to bedrock, and shrink-swell potential before any field work
• Pulls gSSURGO soils and geotechnical layers into early constructability reviews and cost estimates
• Compares route alternatives on crossings, grade, and constraint density to defend an alignment
• Supports FEL/FEED-stage permitting and environmental estimates so firms can respond to RFPs faster

Legal & Risk Management

• Documents environmental-justice and social-vulnerability exposure across a project area
• Evidences avoidance of protected lands, tribal lands, and National Register historic places
• Produces defensible, versioned analysis artifacts for the permitting record
• Flags contaminated sites, EPA Greenbook areas, and regulated waterbodies early in diligence

Owner/Developer

• Identifies viable solar, wind, battery, or data center sites by acreage, interconnect proximity, and ownership
• Scores and ranks parcels against weighted development criteria to shortlist locations
• Surfaces encumbrances, easements, setbacks, and nearby hazards during land due diligence
• Builds landowner contact lists for acquisition outreach from Smart Parcels, which groups parcels owned by the same entity instead of showing each individual parcel

Project Manager

• Replaces weeks of desktop study with same-day crossing and impact reports
• Generates a permit matrix from federal, state, and county jurisdictional boundaries
• Shares one map-based source of truth with contractors and internal stakeholders
• Compares site or route options side by side to document why a selection was made

Surveying/Geomatics

• Supplies a normalized nationwide base of parcels, boundaries, and Public Land Survey as survey context
• Exports project geometry as Esri File Geodatabase, KML, or KMZ into existing GIS workflows
• Removes manual sourcing, reprojection, and QA of dozens of separate public datasets
• Uploads client or third-party layers alongside Pivvot data for combined analysis

By phase

Concept & Planning

• Screens candidate sites and corridors against wetlands, species habitat, floodplain, and slope before field work
• Generates a permit matrix from jurisdictional boundaries to expose scheduling risk up front
• Builds cost surfaces to guide least-cost-path routing decisions
• Compares alternatives on constructability, land ownership, and cost drivers

Design

• Feeds normalized constraint, soils, and elevation data into corridor and site design
• Exports routes and site geometry to GIS and CAD for detailed design work
• Refines usable-area calculations against setbacks, exclusions, and access constraints
• Supplies subsurface and geotechnical context that shortens design iterations

Pre-Construction

• Confirms parcel ownership, easements, and access constraints before mobilization
• Finalises the permitting checklist against current federal, state, and county data
• Assembles due-diligence packets and landowner contact lists for outreach
• Establishes the standardized spatial baseline shared with contractors and partners
