The protection of oil, gas and refined product pipelines against sabotage, illegal tapping and terrorist action, combined with the detection of leaks and in-line equipment failure, is a high priority in all countries, but has been notoriously difficult to achieve.
Oil and gas installations are critical infrastructure of high importance and value. If a pipeline is damaged, significant revenues will be lost, harm may be caused to the environment, and the leakage could be a potential danger to the local population. More importantly, a terrorist attack on an unprotected pipeline could have catastrophic consequences.
Across the world Oil and Gas companies manage this operation by undertaking aerial filming of the pipeline infrastructure. Conducted by helicopter, the external inspection monitoring of gas and oil pipelines integrity is costly and time-consuming.
Although Helicopters collect vast amounts of infrared and plain view video, along with gas data, sometimes they don't have an easy way to identify the geographic locations of all that information. Another issue users face is the ability to store and manage that data.
RouteShoot offers a simple cloud solution, for professionals to easily view and analyse aerial or ground-based geospatial video and other multimedia data within a standard or custom map in most operating systems.
Combining video and photos with GPS data is an effective way to perform these important monitoring tasks with minimal additional investment, but with maximum return on investment.
When this geospatial video data is captured, pipeline operators and contractors are equipped with a permanent and visual record of not only what was seen, but also where to go to take preemptive action.
