Satellite-based Pipeline Monitoring allows to monitor pipelines where aircrafts as well as drones are off-limits, or only allowed to fly very high.

โ
frequent monitoring of no-fly zones is possible
โ
optical imagery is provided for no-fly zones (if regulation allows)
โ
on-ground follow-up is only needed when an activity is detected by satellite

The current example is set in Paris, above the Stade de France, where we survey the evolution of the constructions linked to the 2024 Olympic Games which are close to a pipeline we monitor. The city of Paris restricts small aircrafts and drones fly-overs under 3000m, which makes satellite-based monitoring the way-to-go!
