Design infrastructure with fewer surprises
See risks along your route, before you build. Make better design choices. Avoid costly mistakes.
Complex environments. Hidden risks.
The demand for new infrastructure is growing rapidly — from electricity grids to hydrogen pipelines.
But space is limited.
And every route comes with constraints.
- Existing infrastructure
- Trees and root zones
- Road surfaces and paving
- Soil conditions and contamination
- Regulations and protected areas
Especially trees and paving have a major impact on feasibility and cost.
The challenge:
This information is often fragmented or becomes available too late.
The result:
- Suboptimal route design
- Project delays
- Higher execution costs
- Conflicts with municipalities and stakeholders
Without early insight, risks become expensive.
From route options to risk insight.
Terramira makes trees, paving and related risks visible along potential infrastructure routes.
Not just where obstacles are.
But what they mean for your design, costs and execution.
So you can choose the best route — with confidence.
From geodata to design decisions
We combine multiple data sources and translate them into decision-ready intelligence.
We identify:
- Tree crowns and trunk locations
- Root zones and risk areas
- Types of paving and surfaces
Including:
- Protected tree zones
- Monumental tree status
- Applicable norms and constraints
We highlight:
- High-risk zones
- Cost-intensive areas
- Design constraints
Via:
- API
- GIS datasets
- Integrations in design tools
Ready to use in your analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
By using geospatial data that identifies trees, paving and constraints before detailed design starts, enabling early comparison of route options.
Tree root systems and protected zones can restrict construction, require redesign or increase costs due to mitigation measures.
Different paving materials (e.g. asphalt vs. bricks) have significantly different removal and restoration costs, impacting total project budgets.
Yes. The intelligence is delivered as geodata and APIs that integrate directly into GIS and engineering workflows.
It reduces the need for early-stage fieldwork and helps focus detailed surveys where they are most needed.
See risks before they impact your project.
