The stack
Every layer under the site. One map.
SubsurfaceIntel stacks power, substations, environmental constraints, fiber, gas, minerals, water rights, parcels and terrain over the same site — from what's below ground to what's on it — so you see everything before you commit to a site. Hover or tap a layer to see what it holds.

Illustration. Hover or tap a layer to see what it holds and where the data comes from. For a real site drawn from our data, see Terafab below.
Tap several layers to overlay them.
Ask about a site. See what it touches.
Ask in plain language. SubsurfaceIntel shows which layers answer it, so you know what's in play before anyone goes into the field.

Why Terafab picked Gibbons Creek.
Tesla and SpaceX are building Terafab, their AI chip fab, at Gibbons Creek Reservoir. Run the site through SubsurfaceIntel and the reason shows up on the first pass: a retired coal plant left a high-voltage grid connection and a cooling lake behind.
- 345 kV line
- 138 kV line
- 345 kV substation
- 138 kV substation
- Gas pipeline
- Power plant
- Reservoir (approx.)
What the platform sees
- 01A grid connection already builtGibbons Creek was a 453.5 MW coal plant. It retired in October 2019; its 345 kV substation is still in service.
- 02Four 345 kV substations within 17 kmGibbons Creek on site, Singleton at 11.3 km, Tenaska Frontier at 15.9 km and Grimes at 16.5 km.
- 03Lines out of the siteTwo 345 kV corridors (toward Singleton and Jack Creek) and four 138 kV lines leave the substation.
- 04Generation next doorGrimes County Solar 210 MW at 3 km, about 150 MW of battery storage within 12 km, and Tenaska Frontier 860 MW gas at 16 km.
- 05Gas and waterAn Atmos intrastate pipeline runs 6.3 km away. The plant's old cooling lake, Gibbons Creek Reservoir, is the announced industrial water supply.
Distance and voltage tell you which substations are worth an interconnection study. What the grid can deliver to a new load comes from that study.
