Drone Pipeline Inspection for Reliable Pipeline Integrity & ROW Monitoring
- Visual identification of structures in the vicinity to Right of Way.
- Image capture and identification, tagged with latitude and longitude, elevation, pipeline identification, and GPS.
Potential Geohazards
Drone Pipeline Inspection for Reliable Pipeline Integrity & ROW Monitoring
Potential Geohazards
- Observe and identify potential geohazards while performing pipeline row inspections.
- Fallen Trees, Rockfall, Major cracks in proximity to ROW, Erosion, Landslides, sinkholes, loss of soil cover or vegetation on slopes.
- Geohazards Identified are be submitted in the daily/weekly reports.
Watercourse Crossing
Potential Geohazards
- Visual identification of Bank Erosion, Slumping, Ice Jams & Dredging Operations.
- Photos will be identified with Pipeline System Name, Watercourse ID Photo Capture Date, Direction of Photo Capture, and Approximate Latitude Longitude
Evidence of Leaks
- Visual cues are ground staining, the sheen on water near or on ROW, stressed vegetation & odor.
- Additional leak identification and advanced pipeline integrity detection services through Laser Gas Leak detection systems, Open Path Laser Systems, or Plume Laser detection systems.
Cover Compliance
- Exposed Pipe – identifying unintentionally exposed pipelines.
- Visual Identification of exposed pipe (yellow jacket) is identified as a critical finding and will be notified to the client immediately.
Vegetation Management
- Vegetation cannot be at a state where the ROW is not visible from the air.
- HVP lines must be cleared and free of vegetation.
Missing Signage
- Identification of Water Crossings, Road Crossings & Power Lines referenced against signage list and geolocation.
- In compliance with CSA Z662 – all navigable waterways must have pipeline warning signs on each side of the ROW that are visible from the water.
- Identify missing signage and mark it as an anomaly to be tagged in the report.
