The Problem

Compliance Burdens Outpace Traditional Monitoring

Regulators expect operators to prove that risks are continuously tracked and mitigated. But many still depend on manual patrol logs, scattered photos, and siloed records that don’t add up to a complete picture. Instead of showcasing safety and reliability, compliance teams often end up bogged down in paperwork and patchwork evidence.

High Reporting Burden

Regulators demand evidence of ongoing monitoring and mitigation, but inspections generate scattered logs, photos, and notes. Pulling these into a coherent package takes weeks of manual effort and leaves room for error.

Penalties, Lawsuits, and Shutdowns

When unauthorized activity or hazards slip past traditional monitoring, operators face more than repair costs. Non-compliance can trigger fines, legal action, and even forced shutdowns of critical infrastructure.

Audits Are Increasingly Complex

Paper reports and static images no longer satisfy regulators. They require timestamped, geospatially verified records that prove monitoring was continuous and responses were properly executed.

Reputation Is on the Line

Compliance Failures Undermine Trust
Beyond financial penalties, compliance gaps damage operator credibility with regulators, communities, and investors, making resilience and transparency a business-critical priority.

How does SurfaceScout support regulatory compliance?

SurfaceScout continuously monitors corridors with satellite imagery and AI, automatically logging detections, tasks, and field actions. This creates a defensible record that meets regulator expectations for proactive monitoring.

Can SurfaceScout simplify audit preparation?

Yes. Instead of piecing together logs and photos, compliance teams can generate export-ready reports in minutes, complete with timestamps, geospatial evidence, and before/after imagery.

What happens if an incident still occurs?

SurfaceScout provides verifiable proof of due diligence by documenting every monitoring cycle and mitigation step. This helps operators demonstrate they acted responsibly, reducing penalties and reputational damage.

Which regulations can SurfaceScout help us comply with?

SurfaceScout supports operators in meeting a range of regulatory frameworks, including U.S. PHMSA pipeline safety rules (49 CFR Parts 190-199), the Gas Mega Rule, and the PIPES Act, as well as “Call Before You Dig” / One-Call laws that require monitoring and reporting of third-party activity. Beyond the U.S., SurfaceScout also helps demonstrate compliance with EU environmental directives and ESG reporting standards by providing continuous monitoring, defensible records, and exportable audit reports.
