Water Energy Intelligence Platform
TLALOCORBIS is a physics-based geospatial intelligence platform built by AXL Energy Inc. that maps every water energy recovery opportunity in British Columbia. Often described as the "Palantir of water pressure targeting," it transforms raw hydrological data into actionable deployment intelligence for micro-hydro turbine systems.
The platform ingests data from multiple authoritative sources: the Water Survey of Canada HYDAT database (447 active hydrometric river gauge stations), Metro Vancouver wastewater treatment plant outfall records, Canadian Hydrographic Service tidal narrows data, Vancouver Open Data infrastructure layers, and OpenStreetMap pipeline and waterway geometry. Each data source is normalized, georeferenced, and processed through AXL's proprietary head-and-flow energy computation engine.
From these inputs, TLALOCORBIS identifies four categories of energy recovery sites: river hydrometric stations where seasonal discharge creates recoverable kinetic energy; wastewater treatment plant outfalls where gravity-driven effluent flow can drive turbines at zero additional infrastructure cost; tidal narrows where bidirectional tidal velocity creates predictable generation windows; and municipal pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) where excess line pressure is currently dissipated as heat and noise rather than converted to electricity.
At each of the 2,344 nodes mapped across British Columbia, the platform computes power potential using the formula P = rho * g * Q * H * eta, where discharge Q is sourced from real-time gauge telemetry and head H is derived from terrain analysis. Aggregate results: 272 MW of recoverable power potential and $180 million per year in estimated revenue at current BC Hydro net-metering rates.
The targeting engine ranks every site by return-on-investment and automatically selects the optimal turbine from AXL's five-unit catalog — covering flow ranges from 0.05 m/s to 4+ m/s. Operators receive PDF site assessment reports with site photos, flow statistics, recommended equipment, estimated installation cost, and projected payback period. A JSON deployment plan export enables direct integration with project management and procurement systems.
TLALOCORBIS is built for energy developers, municipal utilities, Indigenous nations, and infrastructure investors seeking untapped distributed generation assets in British Columbia's vast water network.
