Challenge Description |
||||||||
|
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
|
Need for improved geotechnical maps (more detail, better accuracy) to identify and assess geohazards and terrain stability issues within pipeline corridors to support route planning and monitoring. |
||||||||
|
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
|
There are major liability issues to the general public and/or surrounding infrastructure, a major disruption to operations and resulting loss of revenue. |
||||||||
|
Thematic information requirements: |
Terrain information Topographic information Water quantity |
|||||||
|
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
|
LiDAR and aerial surveys supplemented with ground survey work. Improvements in technology allow for desktop studies to identify terrain / geohazards thereby reducing planning costs and mitigates social and environmental costs. |
||||||||
|
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
|
UAV flights along linear corridors to monitor or InSAR to identify changes to the surface or slope. Spectral analysis showing surface water saturation could support efforts. |
||||||||
|
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
|
Improvements in optical imagery to capture linear corridors and surface water saturation. |
