Oil fields feature numerous pipelines across diverse terrains, which are vulnerable to environmental factors. Remote locations complicate on-site inspections and pose safety risks
Advanced pipeline inspection solutions utilizing drones equipped with visible light and thermal cameras for automated inspections to effectively mitigate challenges of extensive pipeline networks across challenging terrains.
Drones can swiftly cover extensive pipeline corridors, enhancing inspection efficiency without subjecting personnel to unnecessary risks, addressing pipelines that often stretch across long distances in challenging terrains, rendering manual inspections hazardous and expensive.
Increase the frequency and quality of inspections with pre-planned and repeatable drone-based inspections, solving corrosion concerns for pipelines that necessitate regular inspections to assess structural integrity and detect potential leaks.
Digitize your inspection records with drone data that is easily stored and shared, replacing traditional inspection methods that struggle to maintain accurate documentation of changes due to external or environmental factors.
Comprehensive monitoring of extensive pipeline networks across diverse terrains with automated flight patterns and thermal analysis.
Regular assessment of pipeline structural integrity and corrosion detection using advanced visual and thermal imaging technologies.
Monitor environmental changes and potential leak detection with specialized sensors and comprehensive data documentation.
Comprehensive drone-based solutions designed for inspection operations.
The compact and portable DJI Mavic 3T, outfitted with high-performance visible light and thermal imaging cameras, is ideal for comprehensive pipeline inspections. This solution is compatible with the DJI Cellular module, which provides 4G-enhanced image transmission, thereby extending its effective operating range in complex urban or mountainous terrains.
Plan inspection route by using Waypoint Mission or manually fly the inspection route while using the Live Mission Recording feature for future replicable missions.
Upon arrival at the takeoff point, quickly deploy the drone and initiate the previously saved inspection. The drone will automatically follow the flight route and detect risk situations in real time.
During the flight, detect risk situations in real time and stop the route for verification when necessary for immediate response to potential issues.
After the aircraft automatically lands, export the photos taken for further analysis and identification of pipeline condition and potential maintenance needs.
The DJI Matrice 30 Series delivers portable yet powerful performance with an extended flight range of up to 15 km and ingress protection to withstand harsh weather conditions. This solution enables inspection professionals to detect abnormalities using the high-resolution visual and thermal (M30T) sensors, dual-control operations, and precise re-shooting.
Plan inspection route by using Waypoint Mission or manually fly the inspection route while using the Live Mission Recording feature for future replicable missions.
Upon arrival at the takeoff point, quickly deploy the drone and initiate the previously saved inspection mission. The drone will automatically follow the flight route.
During the flight, detect risk situations in real time, stop the route for verification and pinpoint the location for further repair work using laser rangefinder capabilities.
Analyze the images to detect defects or required maintenance work by manually reviewing the data collected. Transfer the data to a third-party software to identify equipment defects using model detection.
The DJI Matrice 350 RTK is a dependable platform with interchangeable payloads tailored to meet the needs of specific tasks. Whether for mapping or inspection, the Matrice 350 RTK delivers comprehensive operational capabilities for facility managers. When paired with a third-party gas detector sensor, inspection teams can identify gas leaks that may otherwise be undetectable to the human eye.
Fly the drone manually using the DJI Pilot 2 app or the third-party payload software with specialized gas detection sensors for comprehensive leak monitoring.
If the gas detector senses a leak it will trigger an alert. Capture images and sensor data on the spot to evaluate the situation and determine response requirements.
Review the gas sensor and visual inspection data to detect defects or required maintenance work with comprehensive analysis of leak detection results.
Generate immediate alerts and detailed reports for rapid response to detected leaks and potential environmental hazards in pipeline operations.
DJI Dock 2 (including the DJI Matrice 3D Series) integrates with DJI FlightHub 2 to enable remote, repeatable inspections, enhancing efficiency and ensuring personnel safety. Schedule automated visual or thermal inspections, and ensure inspection quality with live streams via DJI FlightHub 2.
Use DJI FlightHub 2 or preferred third-party software to plan inspection routes based on pipeline models and maps, or import previously saved inspection flight routes via the Pilot 2 app.
Using DJI FlightHub 2, select the preferred dock and scheduled inspection mission. The DJI Matrice 3D or Matrice 3TD will execute inspection tasks as planned, and the captured results will be automatically uploaded to the DJI FlightHub 2 cloud platform.
Analyze the inspection photos manually or export to a third-party model detection software to identify defects or deterioration on the components.
Maintain continuous pipeline monitoring through automated scheduling with centralized data management and comprehensive reporting for optimal pipeline operations.
