Detects oil leaks and threats for pipelines aerially

Page last modified
June 16 2024

Flyscan has developed an airborne detection system to identify potential threats to pipelines and surrounding areas during aerial surveillance. The system uses a patented ultraviolet laser to detect the presence of oil leaks by exciting hydrocarbons which then fluoresce at characteristic wavelengths. This allows detection of even small leaks that may be missed by the human eye. Custom cameras and sensors are used to collect optical, thermal, and hyperspectral imagery which can detect changes in vegetation, soil erosion, missing pipeline markers, vehicle intrusions, and other anomalies. Advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence process the multiple data streams in real time during flight to identify areas of interest. The system outputs geo-referenced alerts and insights that are reviewed by analysts and delivered through an online dashboard and report, providing actionable information to pipeline companies. By automating parts of aerial patrols, Flyscan aims to improve detection capabilities beyond visual inspection alone, helping companies identify threats early before they become large events.

Flyscan is an airborne pipeline inspection company that uses patented ultraviolet laser technology to detect small oil leaks and other threats to pipeline infrastructure and rights-of-way. Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Eric Bergeron, Flyscan aims to provide the pipeline industry with automated aerial inspection that goes beyond what the human eye can see. The company touts its ability to efficiently and economically detect small leaks early, enabling pipeline operators to avoid remediation costs, prevent environmental catastrophes, and simplify compliance. Flyscan collects geo-referenced data on threats like petroleum leaks, unsafe vehicles or infrastructure, erosion risks, vegetation issues, pipeline exposure, and missing markers. It provides pipeline operators with an inspection dashboard and audit capabilities to support maintenance planning.
