Monitoring
of Pipelines
Using UAVs

It is necessary to diagnose and inspect industrial equipment to extend the period of safe exploitation. Monitoring the condition of pipelines allows the detection of visual defects and prevents accidents in the workplace with large-scale environmental consequences.

Why are the scheduled diagnostics of pipelines needed?

Assessment of the technical condition includes the detection of mechanical violations and damage to thermal and waterproofing.

Analysis of the ecological state of the environment along with the pipeline system.

Detection of leaks and spills of gas, oil, or water.

Monitoring of main pipelines, detecting third parties or unauthorized use of resources.

Control of natural phenomena that can affect the efficiency of pipelines: places of soil washing, fractures of the earth’s crust, corrosion-hazardous areas.

Assessment of repair or construction works on highways.

Creation of the up-to-date maps of areas with laid pipelines: digital terrain model (DTM) and orthophotoplan.

How is the pipeline monitored?

The use of drones and copters is one of the most effective methods of inspecting communication systems. The following actions are needed for complex diagnostics of pipelines:

Preparation of technical requirements and set of monitoring objectives. At this stage, the information about the area and communication system as length, characteristics of land resources, location of facilities, and technical attributes of pipelines, is gathered.

Collecting the necessary equipment and preparing for aerial photography. Selecting suitable cameras and setting up a route for a drone.

Aerial photography of the area. Flight along with the installed pipeline system and real-time data transmission.

Processing and sorting photos and videos. Compilation of 3D terrain models, digital terrain maps, and orthophotos if needed.

Transferring the up-to-date data to the customer.

SUMMARY

Monitoring is carried out to determine technical and environmental violations of the system.
