You’re looking for a GIS mapping services provider. But how can you tell which service is the right service for you? While there are many GIS mapping services providers out there, not all GIS & mapping services are made equal. Today, we’re going to take a deeper look at what you should look for in a […]
Which utilities need underground mapping? All of them, really. Whenever a construction project, addition, renovation, or modification begins, one of the first steps should be an underground utility survey. Utility lines are everywhere, but they aren’t always visible. Using utility location services, you can identify where they are and hopefully avoid them. Today, we’re going […]
SUE surveying, or Subsurface Utility Engineering, is a process that involves the mapping of underground utilities. This is done through the use of various surveying and scanning techniques in order to create a 3D model of the area. The importance of SUE surveying cannot be overstated. It is critical for businesses and municipalities alike to […]
Pipelines are known to be one of the safest types of natural gas distribution systems. But they still require proper planning, active maintenance, and monitoring. While pipelines rarely experience disasters, when they do experience a disaster, the results can be tremendous and long-lasting. Today, we’re going to take a look at what keeps a natural gas […]
Pipelines always begin with surveys. And it’s easy to see how a UAV can help with an initial pipeline survey. But pipeline management, maintenance, and repair go well beyond the initial surveys. Today, we’re going to take a look at the role of surveys and UAVs in pipeline pig tracking (as well as general operations). […]
Pipeline maintenance is incredibly important. Not only does the industry go through revisions of regulations and standards with some frequency, but no organization wants to have to deal with the consequences of a catastrophic failure. With that in mind, there are some necessary components of safe pipeline maintenance that can make the entire process easier. […]
If you’re thinking of conducting a survey, you might be wondering if you should use a UAV. UAVs are a swiftly growing branch of the surveying industry — so quickly, in fact, that it’s becoming a standard. Today, we’re going to discuss some of the types of LiDAR mapping drone, how you perform a LiDAR […]
When surveying, GIS data can help produce exceptionally useful, exceptionally accurate geographic data. GIS survey data can be used for a variety of activities, ranging from planning pipelines to expanding solar energy farms. Today, we’ll take a look at why GIS is critical to utility mapping. Using GIS Data for Utility Mapping GIS data and […]
It’s fair to say natural gas can be called “clean energy.” It can also be called cleaner energy. It really depends on your definition. Let’s take a look at how clean and sustainable natural gas really is. Is natural gas clean energy? Everyone has a different definition of “clean energy.” Natural gas has been referred to as a clean […]
