PIPEMON Services
 

The PIPEMON services are:

Pipeline-related ground and structure motion monitoring

  • Measurement of ground motion along pipelines, over oil & gas infrastructure in relation to landslip, river crossings, tectonic hazard zones, underground oil and gas storage facilities and mining areas using state-of-the-art satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) techniques.
  • The range of techniques offered include the new Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI; sub- millimetric precision in height), conventional differential InSAR (centimetric precision) and the Corner Reflector Interferometry (sub-centimetric precision)

Pipeline route planning

  • Determining where there may be clear benefits for the pipeline industry in terms of integrated use of EO data and services (i.e., both optical and radar data, used in combination with spatial data such as digital elevation models (DEMs) and terrain, land cover or other mapping).
  • Demonstrating the utility of interferometry methods such as PSI for detection and characterization of ground hazards, as a part of pipeline route planning.

Please click on any of the links above to find out more about the individual services. Note that a key component of the project is to execute pre-commercial trials to test and validate the service. Please click here if you are interested in the case studies.
