Instant Threat Intervention

One of the key benefits to using helicopter aerial surveillance, is the ability to land immediately when the observer has identified a key immediate risk to the integrity of the pipeline. When our observers believe there to be an immediate risk to the integrity of our customer’s pipeline, and a ground support engineer is a 3 hour drive away, our helicopter crews have the ability to land immediately next to the pipeline and halt the activity which is endangering the pipeline. Our teams will not leave the site until they are comfortable that the situation is safe, under control, and that our customer is happy for their patrol to continue. All details are reported immediately to the control team or land agent, so they can be sure that their asset is protected from any immediate risk.
