Continuum Industries has developed a technology that is changing the way planners and engineers design and deliver infrastructure projects.
Our product, Optioneer, lets users automate their existing design process for infrastructure projects, capture as much geospatial and engineering detail as they want, and iterate through millions of design options to find the best ones.
The core of Optioneer is our optimisation engine, which sits in the cloud. It’s powered by evolutionary algorithms, a soft type of artificial intelligence. The beauty of it is that users can build their own design rules into the engine and retain full control over the way it works.
Our technology is being used by major engineering firms to design linear infrastructure projects such as rail, roads, pipelines and power cables.
What our customers like most about Optioneer is the ability to bring much higher levels of detail into the design process at an earlier stage and reduce the time spent on design optioneering by an order of magnitude. They also find the optimisation savings generated in construction and operational costs to be unparalleled in the market.
