Summary
This case study outlines the experience of Plains All American (PAA), a publicly-traded master limited partnership that operates midstream energy infrastructure. The document describes how PAA sought a more efficient alternative to their in-house environmental due diligence reports due to the increasing scale of their projects. They implemented Transect, which significantly reduced the time required for due diligence by 40% and improved the quality of deliverables by 200%. The previous method involved manual processes using Google Earth and data from the California Natural Diversity Database, which was time-consuming and required external consultants for larger projects. The adoption of Transect streamlined the environmental review process, allowing Plains to produce better deliverables and enhance their efficiency. The case study includes a testimonial from James Buchanan, Sr. Environmental Regulatory Compliance at Plains, highlighting the effectiveness of Transect in their daily operations.
