Aerial Surveys & Structure ID: Easing the Burden of PHMSA Compliance
Identifying structures for pipeline class location and HCA and MCA identification is a labor-intensive process that has been historically undertaken by ground crews.
Remote Sensing Technology in the Oilfield: Exploring Aerial Options
Remote sensing technology gathers information about an object or area from a distance. It involves the use of sensors mounted on drones, aircraft, or satellites to collect electromagnetic radiation emitted or reflected by objects on Earth’s surface.
Using Aerial Imagery to Optimize Highway or Railway Expansion Route Planning
When it comes to highway or railway expansion route planning, having the right data and tools is essential. Aerial imagery helps planners make informed decisions.
Exploring the Differences Between an Orthophoto and an Aerial Photo
At a glance, the difference between an orthophoto and an aerial photo may seem insignificant but for pipeline or utility planning, an orthophoto is needed.
Ecological Remediation Accelerated Using GIS Services
After an ecological event, you need to remediate the area and limit the encroachment on the ecology. Learn how aerial imagery can help.
The Benefits of On-demand Aerial Imagery
How does a company effectively evaluate things without enough boots on the ground? Learn how on-demand aerial imagery changes the game.
Aerial Imagery & GIS Can Improve Sand Mining & Other Surface Mining Operations
Operational efficiency is the key to success for sand mining and other surface mining operations. As costs rise, mining operations are digging for actionable information as much as they’re digging for product.
GIS Imagery Helps Wind, Solar Farms Avoid Environmental and Endangered Species Pitfalls
Industries across the board are recognizing the usefulness of aerial imagery and GIS data in site selection. Slope, elevation, runoff, vegetation, proximity to roads and other infrastructure, population centers and industry—all these things figure into construction costs and peripheral expenditures that can play heavily in the make-or-break decision on a site, no matter the industry. …
