For powerline or pipeline operators

 the sudden emergence of temporary structures, vegetation growth, and construction along the right of way pose both financial and safety threats—particularly to on-site personnel. Monitoring by ground or aerial inspection offers only intermittent and frequently subjective results. Kayrros has developed a multisource technology to monitor rights of way in near realtime, and at scale, to overcome the challenges of traditional methods. Kayrros combines low- and high-resolution optical imagery with geolocation data to detect encroachment—from vegetation, construction work, or other human activities.

Benefits

Anticipate Risk
Make decisions with more accurate and near-realtime risk analysis to prevent accidents

Manage Cost
Undertake network integrity inspections at lower cost compared to drone or human inspection

Automate Monitoring
Automated and on-demand monitoring helps save time and resources while preventing risk

Technology

Kayrros fuses optical satellite imagery and 3D mapping to monitor pipelines and power lines in both open landscapes and dense forests. This results in an alert system triggered when vegetation grows in dangerous proximity to your network. Kayrros processes optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery with proprietary algorithms to automatically detect and separate temporary metal structures from permanent infrastructure. Kayrros leverages daily Planetscope data with dedicated machine learning algorithms to detect changes in the vicinity of a right of way. Changes are classified between ground disturbance—typically construction— and heavy equipment.
