Verify Pipeline and Production Integrity and get ahead of stricter emiission standards ATS's leak detection service was tested at the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center in Casper, Wyoming in September, 2006. The conclusive result of the GOVERNMENT test is that ATS's service of aerial leak detection utilizing the Boreal Laser outperformed all other leak detection services. We are now LEASING the Boreal Laser to install on your helicopter or vechicle. View our test results here. ATS specializes in aerial leak detection for monitoring pipeline integrity, we also utilize the Boreal Laser on vehicles to identify leaks in the production field. We provide the most technologically advanced leak detection by using a laser tuned to the methane molecules. An optional service of a GPS encoded video of pipeline right-of-way is also avialable. As ATS flys or drives over the pipeline right-of-way and production facilities, methane levels are displayed in real time. This allows for immediate communication with the client if a large leak or other problems are detected. Our exclusive Boreal laser samples the air, over the pipeline or surface production facilities, identifying the methane molecule to less than 1 PPM. No false readings because the laser constantly calibrates itself to a contained methane sample. Unlike other detection systems, ATS’s laser is a closed path unit; it samples the air in a known environment so our laser does not suffer from the light, temperature, ground conditions, or weather problems that interfere with other laser, ultraviolet or infrared systems. ATS has an optional video service which provides clients with a video and audio record of the flight. During the flight, the Technician can mark a point of interest to be examined after the flight. The video of the pipeline with the recording of cockpit conversation is a valuable tool in providing points of interest which can include: exposed pipeline, dead vegetation, problems with the right-of-way or other client concerns. The video footage is integrated into our mapping program. When viewing the mapping program, the client can click anywhere on the flight path (which is color coded for methane levels) and see the exact location of the helicopter flying on that route, with the video playing in another window. This program is especially helpful in reviewing areas of pipeline which are not easily inspected due to their location. Priced affordably by the project mileage or by Boreal equipment lease, ATS can prove the integrity of your pipeline or production field.
