To address pipeline safety concerns, state-run energy major GAIL and National Remote Sensing Centre, a unit of ISRO, have launched an innovative surveillance geo-portal called ''Bhuvan-GAIL Portal'' for utilising space technology for its pipeline application.
GAIL in a statement said that "Despite challenges, GAIL (India) has proved space technology can be used efficiently to monitor the pipeline''s Right of Use (RoU). GAIL has more than 13,000 kms of pipeline network, wherein monthly monitoring of pipeline RoU is presently done via Helicopter surveys."
By January 2016, GAIL would begin live satellite monitoring of its pipeline RoU.
The company statement said that it is also seeking alternative methods such as advanced Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) which can be integrated with this system.
GAIL said that it has also developed an innovative mobile application from which pictures of untoward incidents, taken from any mobile phone, can be uploaded instantly on the portal.
A report system integrated with the Bhuvan-GAIL portal can send alerts to relevant executives through SMS and e-mail, regarding the changes noted along the RoU as well as the arrival of any new satellite photos.
To establish the technical feasibility of utilising space technology for its pipeline applications, GAIL began the study with imageries from Indian satellites and later shifted to very high-resolution foreign satellites, the statement added.
Globally, pipeline safety and security is a major issue.
