Aerial Pipeline Patrol | Geospatial Video Recorder

Geospatial DVR for Airborne Pipeline Patrol

Regulatory agencies require oil, gas & chemical pipeline operators to conduct periodic aerial pipeline patrol and inspection flights to detect risks to both the system and general public. The prospects of natural disasters, security threats and product theft require even greater pipeline monitoring diligence.

Video is rapidly becoming a default method for documenting current conditions along a pipeline ROW. By adding GPS and time data to the video, specialists and end-users can have access to video frames by clicking on a flight track on a map.

Aerial pipeline patrol operations use our industry-leading geoDVR™ airborne video recorder to geotag video from multiple cameras & sensors for routine patrols and comprehensive leak detection and right-of-way integrity surveys.

Record and geotag up to 4 HD & SD videos with one recorder
GPS data is permanently embedded in the video to survive editing
Add waypoints with point of interest (POI) descriptions for anomalies
View pipeline SHP & KML files on real-time moving maps
And much more

Software for Airborne Pipeline Patrol Reporting

Post-mission, pipeline integrity specialists and GIS analysts use our LineVision™ video mapping and gas leak data software solutions to help them drastically reduce the post-flight mapping and reporting process using the geoProject™ reporting method.

Whether you are using just a hand-held FLIR, fixed-mount cameras or an aircraft-mounted gimbal sensor, we have solutions that enable companies, vendors and other stakeholders to view and share this data throughout their workflows using existing GIS mapping systems like the Esri ArcGIS platform and Google Earth.

Pipeline Gas Leak Detection System Integration

Are you considering adding an aircraft gas leak detector to your pipeline inspection services? Remote GeoSystems can also incorporate data from specialized airborne gas leak detection system manufacturers into our LineVision geospatial video, photo and media mapping software.
