KAR Pipeline — 264 km Water & Gas Corridor Survey by UAV

Drone/UAV survey of a 125 km water pipeline corridor and a 139 km gas pipeline corridor (200 m corridor width), plus underground utility detection using GPR.

The Challenge

Two long pipeline corridors — 125 km of water and 139 km of gas — needed rapid, survey-grade mapping across remote terrain, together with reliable detection of existing buried services to de-risk the route.

Our Solution

Point Path deployed UAV photogrammetry to capture the full 264 km of corridor at a 200 m width, tying imagery to ground control for survey-grade accuracy, and used Ground Penetrating Radar with locators to detect and map underground utilities.

Outcomes
