The Top Threats Undermining Pipeline Safety and Compliance
From remote terrain to regulatory risk, today’s operators face mounting pressure to monitor pipeline integrity more frequently, with fewer resources, all while minimizing environmental and reputational fallout.

Third-Party Interference Risks Are Increasing
Manual patrols and “Call Before You Dig” campaigns aren’t enough. External threats, from construction to vandalism, account for over 30% of pipeline incidents and cost millions in damage annually.

Inspections Miss What Matters
Manual inspections are costly and too rare to be effective. At the same time, operators face an overwhelming volume of unfiltered alerts. Without automation or coordination, teams chase noise, ignore real threats, and respond inconsistently.
Regulatory Pressure and Reputation Risk Are Growing
Environmental compliance and safety mandates are intensifying. One missed incident can result in fines, cleanup costs, legal liabilities, and long-term brand damage.

FAQs
From technical capabilities to compliance questions, we’ve got you covered. Whether you're evaluating SurfaceScout or preparing to roll it out across your network, these answers will help you understand exactly how our platform supports your pipeline safety, efficiency, and regulatory goals.
How is SurfaceScout different from aerial or drone inspections?
Satellite monitoring offers continuous, large-scale coverage without the cost, weather dependencies, or airspace clearance required for drones or helicopters. SurfaceScout enables proactive, consistent monitoring — not just periodic snapshots.
What types of risks can SurfaceScout detect?
SurfaceScout detects third-party threats like excavation, encroachment, and construction, as well as natural hazards such as erosion, landslides, and waterbody expansion. Our AI models are specifically trained to identify risk patterns across oil pipeline environments.
Do I need any special hardware or sensors in the field?
No additional hardware is required. SurfaceScout is entirely satellite-based and cloud-delivered. You don’t need to install or maintain any field equipment — it works out of the box with your existing GIS and inspection workflows.
How quickly can we take action on detected risks?
Insights are delivered in near real-time. Each alert includes location, context, and severity, allowing your field teams to respond within hours via our integrated web and mobile case management tools.
Is SurfaceScout compliant with PHMSA or international regulatory standards?
Yes. Every case and user action is timestamped and geotagged, with full export options (PDF, GeoJSON, CSV) for audits and compliance reviews. SurfaceScout supports PHMSA and similar global regulations by making reporting fast, traceable, and audit-ready.
