“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“Transect is our first go-to. It identifies all the features we need to consider - such as restricted areas, roadways, tree cover, transmission infrastructure, and water bodies - then outputs as a single file. After that initial pass, we really know what's happening on the local or county level.”
