Aerial Intelligence For Pipeline Inspection

Pipeline Inspection

A 20-inch pipeline with a 1% leak can cause up to 10 square kilometers of irreparable damage and a loss of 450,000 barrels annually. Therefore, it is crucial to carry out proper monitoring to guarantee the dependability and quality of pipelines in the field. Inspection has historically involved both intrusive and non-invasive methods, such as human inspection, acoustic sensing, ultrasonic scanning, flow analysis, and more. The risks of probable loss of life and financial harm make routine pipeline inspections advised. The Garud Survey monitoring system offers operators total coverage and managed flexibility, exactly meeting the needs of oil and gas industries for flexible and reliable inspection equipment. It can precisely assess the state of pipes in an instant, find concealed flaws, excessive vegetation growth, and much more. It helps operators drive their missions by assisting decision makers in prioritizing maintenance and repair, from agriculture to construction and beyond, demonstrating the difference technology can make even at lower levels. However, the advantages of technology are particularly clear in large-scale infrastructure projects. Examples include highway and pipeline inspections, but the energy business will continue to identify these benefits in a variety of ways.
