Integrity programs describe the inside of the pipe in detail. Inline inspection, corrosion monitoring and NDT give operators a clear picture of wall loss, defects and remaining life. What they cannot see is the excavator that arrives between patrols, the construction project nobody notified, or the ground moving slowly along a right of way.
The International Pipeline Conference & Expo brings the global operator community to Calgary from September 22 to 24, 2026, at the BMO Centre at Stampede Park. With 1,300 technical delegates from more than 44 countries and around 8,000 attendees across the expo, it is the largest annual gathering in the industry. We will be there to talk about the external side of pipeline risk.
Showcasing SurfaceScout at Booth 534
SurfaceScout is LiveEO’s AI-powered satellite monitoring solution for detecting and managing external risks along linear infrastructure. It combines high-cadence satellite imagery with AI-driven change detection to give operators continuous, wide-area visibility over their corridors, including the stretches that are difficult, expensive or slow to reach on the ground. It is built to sit alongside existing integrity programs, not to replace them.
With SurfaceScout, pipeline teams can:
- Catch third-party activity early. Detect excavation and construction while intervention is still possible, not after a strike has been reported.
- Track ground movement. Monitor subsidence, erosion and slope instability along the right of way.
- Prioritize what matters. AI-driven change classification with human-in-the-loop validation keeps false alarms low.
- Cover more ground for less. Extend visibility across large, distributed networks without a matching increase in patrol or aerial survey costs.
- Work from one view. Give control room, integrity and field teams the same current picture of the corridor.
- Evidence the program. Build a consistent, dated record for risk workflows, safety cases and regulator engagement.
Built for integrity and damage prevention teams
Integrity engineers use SurfaceScout to see what has changed along the route since the last inspection. Damage prevention teams use it to catch unpermitted work early. Asset owners use it to compare exposure across a portfolio and show that external threats along the full length of the network are identified and controlled.
Let’s Connect in Calgary!
You will find the LiveEO team at Booth 534, near the Networking Area and the IPCE Cafe:
- Tuesday, September 22: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Wednesday, September 23: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Thursday, September 24: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Brian Womeldurf, Account Executive, and Geoffrey Vancassel, Director of Product Management for SurfaceScout, will be there across all three days. Come by to see SurfaceScout in action, talk through the monitoring challenges on your own network, and pick up one of our custom LiveEO Lego kits.
We look forward to seeing you in Calgary!
