New approach to assess third party damage on gas network
As part of a new initiative, NM Group will be conducting a project to determine how much change occurs over the pipeline network over time. This will consist of a series of manned aerial LiDAR flights to collect highly detailed terrain and asset information and imagery. This will be used to assess terrain change, third party interference to the above ground environment and vegetation growth around the network.
The data will be collected over a number of months to create a baseline for the transmission network and then compare this to subsequent data sets. Planned in a strategic fashion, the project will highlight both rapid changes as well as long term difference. Analysis of the surveys will be delivered via NM Group’s award-winning online 3D asset management software, Caydence®.
