ROSEN - Pipeline Mapping and Movement - Stay Ahead of Geohazards

: Zoom; Pipeline-Mapping_LP

In our networked and GPS-enabled world, we all take location information for granted. For many pipelines built before the widespread use of GPS satellites, construction survey records are inaccurate or have even been lost, and so the pipeline position is not accurately known. However, in order to react quickly to critical pipeline defects, exact information on the position of a pipeline is required to ensure that the right location is excavated. Knowing the depth of cover at every location will also help with excavation planning and ensuring protection from third-party damage.

In addition, geohazards such as landslides, seismic events, high rainfall and erosion can lead to pipeline movement and high associated strain values. Information on the degree of bending experienced by a pipeline and how much it is affected by strain is vital for safe operation. In addition, understanding and managing geohazards requires a clear understanding of the transitions between stable and moving ground.

No matter whether construction survey records are inaccurate, have been lost, or the pipeline has moved from its original position, knowing the exact position of pipelines is key for a safe and cost-efficient operation. Consequently, reliable information on the position of features in a pipeline, the position of the pipeline, and changes in curvature is of great importance to all pipeline operators.
ROSEN supports them with a high-resolution pipeline mapping service that provides accurate information about the pipeline route and areas of bending and how to manage associated threats in the most effective and cost-efficient way.

Our Holistic Approach

Given the unpredictability of nature’s movements, amongst other things, each pipeline mapping endeavor is unique. The most effective way to assess changes in shape and movement is to approach pipeline mapping comprehensively. The ROSEN Group joins current industry best practices and the most advanced pipeline mapping inspection solutions with the knowledge of subject-matter experts to enable pipeline operators to make the best possible integrity management decisions. ROSEN supports operators beyond short-term decisions and provides management plans and training to enable them to take the right maintenance actions at the right time in order to extend the life, safety and performance of their pipelines.
