Water Crossing Inspections

Water Crossing Identification

Explore will assist in helping clients understand their crossing inventory. Using GIS software Explore will classify, prioritize, and then plot each crossing in a database

Inspection Prioritization

Taking into account numerous pipeline attributes and the associated hydrology, we aid with understanding water crossing related risk. Using this understanding of risk we help clients target their most pressing issues first, while staying within allocated budgets, then proceed to water crossing of lower risk.

Depth of Cover Survey

An all encompassing verification of pipeline depth throughout the crossing including the channel thalweg, bed, banks, reasonable setback on either side, and the general area.

Visual Inspections

Visual inspections can be used as a means of checking a crossing for major changes evident without surveying actual pipeline depth. They can be a cost effective way to monitor crossings that have had depth determined in previous inspections.

Sonar Bathymetric Surveys

Bathymetric Surveys allow us to measure the depth of a water body along with map the underwater features. This in conjunction with a hydotechnical assessment will provide you with an understanding of your crossing and any areas of concern.

We have the industry knowledge and experience to initiate effective management strategies.

Dedicated to the task of implementing effective integrity manamentment programs, Explore ensures high-quality results while minimizing project costs and completion times. Transparent and timely communications are to be expected from expert individuals commited to the success of your project.
