Monitoring of Pipeline Corridor for GAIL

GAIL India Ltd. maintains 11,900 Km Pipe line infrastructure for Gas Transportation. Regular surveillance of entire Pipeline is mandatory for any physical disturbances over pipeline Right of Usage (ROU) at 30m which is usually done through monthly inspection with helicopters and inspection by walkers every six months. This procedure is costly and is also prone to human errors. NRSC has developed a web based geospatial technology through which monitoring can be done with satellite data.

This technology of change detection can be extended to various domains where ground truth is to be done for large areas, also to monitor any new/illegal constructions in any specific area which is under observation.
