As Orbital Eye keeps growing, we are happy to announce that we welcomed two new colleagues this month, Martti Kaipiainen and Alessandro Marzo! đ Alessandro Marzo was already part of the Orbital Eye team, as he did an internship in 2021. Last December, he graduated from his MSc in Applied Physics at the Alma Mater […]
Pipeline operators want to be informed about all groundworks taking place on top of, or close to, a pipeline – whether they are small groundworks, or large groundworks, like the one presented in today’s TPI Tuesday. Orbital Eye’s monitoring solution CoSMiC-EYE uses weather-independent radar satellite data from the Sentinel-1 satellites, that are part of the […]
On behalf of the entire Orbital Eye Team, we want to wish you a Happy New Year! đ„ We have all enjoyed a relaxing holiday and are now ready to continue with current projects and start up multiple new projects soon (stay tuned!). And of course, we will keep presenting detected activities in our #TPITuesdays. In […]
In today’s TPI Tuesday you can see works that were detected, but also that the works are put on hold when the construction site was covered in snow – it was time to take a Christmas Holiday! đ đŒđ Next week, the Orbital Eye team will also take a Christmas Holiday to relax and spend some […]
Where most of the detections made by CoSMiC-EYE are detections of activities undertaken by human, the system also detects natural changes, like landslides. In today’s example of one of the detections made you can clearly see a landslide that caused a wash-out in the pipeline corridor. Such natural changes can pose a threat to the […]
Today in TPI Tuesday we want to highlight a case where we detected a support site on top of the pipeline, close to ground works. In this case, the groundworks themselves were detected to be at a safe distance from the pipeline, but the support site poses a threat to the pipeline. As explained in […]
We are proud to be covered in the latest edition of the the Pipeline Technology Journal! In the article, written by Sven van Haver and Alexander Blauw, you can read about the operational performance results of our monitoring solution CoSMiC-EYE, based on several projects and studies conducted in 2020. The article can be found via this link. The […]
This week in TPI Tuesday we show an example of where we detected a big pile of sand on top of the pipeline. Although the chance that the pipeline will be directly damaged by this is only small, the storage of materials on top of a pipeline causes increased stress on the pipeline, which can […]
Today we show another example of a TPI that involves groundworks, which is typically the type of activity that forms the largest threat to pipelines. In many countries, companies or individuals are therefore required to request a permit for doing such activities. For example, in the Netherlands, activities that involve groundworks need to be registered […]
In this weeks episode we discuss a case of third party interference involving the clearance of trees. This type of activities can be particularly risky for underground utilities and critical infrastructure, especially when also the tree stumps are being removed. Although, vegetation and deforestation monitoring are some of the more known applications of satellites in the context of third party risk management it is not the vegetation […]
