Challenge Description |
||||||||
|
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
|
Regulatory requirements need to be fulfilled around compliance monitoring of pipeline rights of way. Ground-based surveys may incur some health and safety risks related to geohazards (e.g. vegetation succession, water courses, erosion, etc.) and security in remote locations. There are operating costs and risks associated to monitoring that need to be identified, managed and mitigated. |
||||||||
|
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
|
Reduction of costs related to health and safety with systematic monitoring. Damage to infrastructure can lead to environmental and social issues, as well as economic impacts to operations. |
||||||||
|
Thematic information requirements: |
Land cover Land use Water quantity Distribution and status of infrastructure Lithology, structural geology, surficial geology |
|||||||
|
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
|
Aerial surveys and geotechnical ground surveys. |
||||||||
|
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
|
High-resolution optical or radar imagery for surface change detection along linear corridors. LiDAR could play a role. |
||||||||
|
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
|
Difficulty is with temporal nature of issue - geohazards are often triggered by sudden events that are difficult to predict and monitor due to suddenness of event. Imagery cost for full monitoring and number of indicators successfully addressed does not eliminate the need for manual or aerial surveys. |
