Petroleum Pipeline Inspection using UAVs

1. Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Pipeline Inspection Services

2. NEED FOR THE SOLUTION
Blackprop Tree
01. Cost
The existing process of manual pipeline
inspection during the pre-construction,
during construction and post-construction
phases are expensive
02. Time
The processes are also time consuming
and involves lot of dependencies on
each other, resulting in unwanted delays
03. Manual
Besides, the cost and time factor, the
complete set of manual work makes the
project inefficient and often prone to
manual errors
Cost Time Manual

3. OUR SOLUTION
Blackprop Tree
• Land survey
• Route optimisation
• Processed images/videos of the
optimal route with a complete
3D rendered model
• Terrain analysis, digital
elevation model, alternate
routing, water bodies and
obstacles detection
PRE - CONSTRUCTION DURING CONSTRUCTION POST - CONSTRUCTION
• Complete aerial inspection at
regular intervals to provide
accurate data
• Planned vs actual progress of
the pipeline construction
project
• Verify actual use of
equipment, contractors false
claims and review the readily
accessible data on the cloud
• Data about the facilities,
stations, markers and posts
• Monitor encroachments and
construction activity in the
vicinity of the pipeline corridor
• High resolution images of tap
off points and the valve
stations, check for leakages,
soil erosion or other risky
activities

4. OUR PRODUCT (Prototype)
The Willow

5. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Range of 25 km radius
VOTL: Automatic vertical takeoff and landing incorporating waypoint-navigation using GPS.
Hovering: Stable hovering over a particular point for prolonged attention to a single point for up to 50 minutes in a single point and touch
operation
Very Easy to use: Compared to other UAVs, our product requires next to no training to operate. Our custom made Willow flight suit
software makes flying the UAV as simple as playing a computer game
Fail Safe Features : In case of low battery, signal/GPS Failure, Onboard failures or obstacles, UAV will automatically return to its takeoff
point and/or land
Night Vision Enabled Camera with zoom and user controlled 360 degree pan to focus in any direction

7. FLY CAPTURE
Blackprop Tree
STAGE - 1
Flight path is configured on the ground
station depending upon the operation to be
performed or the data to be captured
STAGE - 2
UAV follows the GPS enabled flight path and
captures data with the help of on board
advanced cameras and sensor devices
STAGE - 3
Once the data is captured, it is then
uploaded to our server for processing

8. PROCESS ON CLOUD
Blackprop Tree
We use the most advanced software systems for processing high quality data, in no time. The fully encrypted data is
accessible to all the authorized employees in your organization, anywhere and anytime.
REPORTS
Automated custom built reports are generated as
per the clients requirements. Decisions can now be
made quicker based on these reports
LAYERISATION
Multiple layers are applied on this processed data
and different models are created, as per the clients
requirement. Custom objects are built with “one
click” option to apply filters and access this data
PROCESS
The uploaded data is automatically processed for
initial stitching and rendering

9. ON GROUND
Highly efficient, safe and advanced, small sized unmanned aircrafts which travel long distances at a good speed and scans the
pipeline corridor. Our trained ground staff ensures smooth process management, at the ground level, and operates the UAVs
