In 2014, ground movement was identified along the pipeline corridor in an area that was primarily dominated by vegetation. Displacement events similar to this, whether known or unknown have the potential to compromise pipeline integrity. The Appalachian Mountain region is almost entirely classed as high landslide susceptibility by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and are crossed by numerous transmission pipelines and gathering lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Permian Basin located in West Texas is an area of known subtle ground displacement with the potential for larger scale sinkhole development. The area also has extensive multi-operator pipeline networks. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has successfully been used to monitor ground heave and subsidence due to drilling activity in the Permian Basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing InSAR, 3vGeomatics has performed a proof of concept on the effectiveness, reliability, and precision of using L-band SAR satellites for InSAR monitoring of vegetated areas and C-band satellites for monitoring in non-vegetated areas. The InSAR displacement estimates are compared to ground truth data including differential light detection and ranging (LiDAR), in-line-inspection, and ground survey measurements. The goal of this project is to operationalize ongoing InSAR monitoring programs for pipeline networks in vegetated areas and very large non-vegetated areas for operating members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis project has a related webinar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRCI Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44367579316302,"sku":"185147","price":7375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/prci-store.myshopify.com\/products\/pr-686-183908-r01-insar-monitoring-of-pipeline-geohazards-in-vegetated-and-very-large-non-vegetated-areas-1","provider":"PRCI Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
