In less than a week the Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) 2022 will already start! We are looking forward to visiting Berlin and meeting experts in the pipeline industry. Next week Wednesday the 9th, at 9 am, Alexander Blauw and Arnaud van den Berg will give a presentation in which they will present the results of […]
In today’s TPI Tuesday, we present a case where a large agricultural activity took place, and many trees and bushes were removed. This type of activity often poses a threat to the pipelines due to the use of excavators, and because it can lead to soil erosion, and hence pipeline operators should be aware of […]
The initial start of construction works is highlighted at the location of today’s TPI Tuesday. This location was detected during the winter months in the Netherlands, which isn’t known for the bright sunny days. 🌦 The image on the left shows the detection of the activity using the Sentinel-1 satellites on a very cloudy day. […]
Satellite based services such as COSMIC-EYE do not only detect the activities that can pose a threat to the pipelines, but a few more ‘special’ cases that may surprise you! In today’s special edition TPI – Valentine Monday, you can see a heart appear in a high-resolution image. Who could have guessed that Monitoring Services […]
In the Netherlands, a lot of ground-moving actions happen daily, of which some involve contaminated soil. The National Police Politie Nederland and the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport are tracking down and enforcing environmental crimes but this is a time-consuming and difficult task. Science [&] Technology, Orbital Eye B.V., Sobolt, and […]
A key component of any Right-of-Way monitoring solution is the early warning functionality, so pipeline operators can respond and interfere as soon as an activity takes place. Today’s TPI-Tuesday shows how the Sentinel-1 radar satellites were able to detect the initial preparation of a construction site before the actual works had started. The CoSMiC-EYE system […]
Today’s TPI-Tuesday shows a clear example of the creation of a construction site that involves ground works. If not reported to the pipeline operator and handled with great care, these ground works can be dangerous to the pipeline. It is thus key that the operator knows about the activity in a timely manner. The radar […]
This month, Orbital Eye has started another project with GRTgaz, where we will be monitoring GRTgaz’ pipeline network in Paris. Since there is a lot of traffic in Paris, it takes field inspectors a lot of time to monitor the pipeline for Third Party Interferences. With our monitoring solution, the inspectors now will be alerted […]
Monitoring a pipeline corridor from space often leads to the detection of strange patterns on earth, which makes this field even more interesting and challenging. In today’s TPI Tuesday, you can see an example where interesting patterns are detected in the pipeline corridor; they comprise the early stages of path construction. In the image, you […]
In today’s TPI Tuesday, we present an example of where road repairs on top of a pipeline were detected. In the top-right picture, you can see the SAR-imagery that was analysed and in which the activity was detected. The CoSMiC-EYE technology automatically analyses a series of SAR-imagery over time, to check for any changes, resulting […]
