“We were initially drawn to Transect for their outstanding environmental site assessment capabilities, which provide us with valuable information on various aspects of the land, enhancing our credibility and increasing our chances of securing control over the site when engaging with landowners.”

Mark Tippett Chief Development Officer, Yarotek

“Before Transect, we relied on multiple tools that required extensive coordination. Transect combines these capabilities, providing accurate real-time data enabling us to rapidly screen sites before requiring more expensive field investigation. It is the tip of our spear for nuclear site selection and licensing.”

DAN STOUT Founder & Managing Director, Advanced Nuclear Advisors

"Transect is an excellent tool for initial scoping of projects, particularly learning about different state regulations and considerations. It saves hours of research time trying to do it on my own."

Jeni Menendez Environmental Manager, Blue Power Partners

"Transect became part of a daily process that sped up the throughput of our in-house diligence. It fit hand in glove with my experience as a consultant and provided reports as my backup documentation."
