Why Aerial Patrols Matter for Pipeline Operators

Encroachments along pipeline rights-of-way (ROW) can lead to safety hazards, regulatory fines, and costly repairs. Regular aerial patrols are essential for:

  • Regulatory compliance with PHMSA and state-level oversight
  • Early detection of unauthorized construction, excavation, or vehicle activity
  • Documentation of vegetation overgrowth, erosion, or structural concerns
  • Reducing risk of third-party damage (TPD) through proactive monitoring
