Infrastructure Distance Calculator
Distance to power lines, pipelines, and wells
Measure distances from any point in Alberta to the nearest power lines, pipelines, and oil and gas wells. Query individual infrastructure types or all combined, with configurable search radius and flow direction analysis.

Key Features
- •Distance and bearing calculation to nearest power lines, pipelines, and oil/gas wells
- •Infrastructure type selector: power lines, pipelines, oil/gas wells, gas lines, or all combined
- •Configurable search radius from 0.1 km to 10 km
- •Power line data from AESO (transmission >69 kV) and FortisAlberta (distribution <25 kV)
- •Pipeline data with substance type, diameter, and operator information
- •Oil and gas well data with status, type, and operator details
- •Gas distribution line data from ATCO Gas
- •Flow direction modeling for directional infrastructure classification
- •Interactive map visualization with distance arrows
- •CSV and PDF export of results
How It Works
Select a location
Click on the map to set your analysis point. Infrastructure features within your search radius are identified.
Choose infrastructure type
Select which type to query: power lines, pipelines, oil/gas wells, or all infrastructure combined.
Set parameters
Configure search radius and number of features to return. Optionally enable flow direction analysis.
Review results
Results show each infrastructure feature with distance, bearing, type, operator, and relevant metadata (voltage, substance, well status).
Data Sources
AESO transmission lines >69 kV across Alberta
FortisAlberta distribution lines <25 kV
AER-regulated pipelines with substance, diameter, and status
AER well inventory including active, suspended, and abandoned wells
ATCO gas distribution lines across Alberta
Common Use Cases
- 1Identifying pipeline crossings and right-of-way considerations for site development
- 2Documenting power line setback distances for electromagnetic field assessments
- 3Mapping oil and gas wells within the area of potential concern for Phase I ESAs
- 4Screening for abandoned well sites that may indicate historical contamination
