Title: Pipeline Surveillance-Video From A Helicopter

Abstract: Prior to our video surveillance program we used high-altitude, large-format stilt photography to obtain density surveys and determine class location changes. In the fall of 1982, we determined video taping would be a better and less expensive way of doing the job while realizing more benefits for our money. We visited with a gas company already operating its own video surveillance system to get some ideas. We began by experimenting with rented consumer type video equipment, handheld while flying pipeline right of ways in a Hughes 300 helicopter. The initial results of our video taping were not spectacular, but the potential benefits and advantages were evident. The problems associated with maintaining and protecting our pipeline facility along our system right of ways have been increasing in recent years. The video surveillance system appears to be the best tool available in coping with current problems.
