Challenge
The project aimed to address geohazard risk mitigation strategies at pipeline water crossings mandated by the Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) and Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). Our oil and gas client faced the challenge of implementing these strategies effectively and sought assistance to overcome the complexities involved.
Our client was uncertain about the best approach to implementing geohazard risk mitigation strategies at five different pipeline water crossing sites. They required the expertise and resources to develop a complete solution that would comply with regulatory requirements while optimizing return on investment for their assets, with minimal benchmark data to work from.
Solution
Recognizing our clients challenges, Caltech stepped in as a trusted partner to provide game-changing solutions. Leveraging our extensive experience and cutting-edge technologies, we devised a complete approach to geohazard risk mitigation at their pipeline water crossing sites. By collaborating closely with our clients engineering teams, our team tailored a project strategy that not only met regulatory requirements but also maximized efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
+ Cost Savings and Efficiency: Our expert team integrated aerial mapping, bathymetric surveying, ground-based data acquisition, and change detection analysis. We harnessed the power of Lidar technology and advanced mapping techniques to significantly reduce field data acquisition timelines, saving our client precious time and resources.
+ Quality and Accuracy: Our dedication to accuracy and quality set our solution apart. We implemented accurate measures to ensure that the aerial lidar and imagery data we provided surpassed industry standards, delivering results with outstanding precision. Particularly crucial along the shoreline, where traditional survey methods face challenges due to steep terrain.
