Monitor early indicators, keep product in the pipe
Satellite-based product detection is a popular topic, but we know that responsible asset management starts with preventing threats. By identifying early warning signs, we help our customers stay ahead of product releases, large and small. As we watch for changes in the environment around facilities and pipelines, you'll receive timely alerts about any activity that could put your assets at risk.

Surface Change Detection
Get ahead of line strikes
Keeping an eye on land surface changes around pipelines and remote assets helps crews respond quickly to potential threats. Whether it’s new construction, shifting land use, farming activity, or natural events like flooding, erosion, or wildfires, Orbital Advisors’ Surface Monitoring service transforms satellite data into actionable alerts. By detecting signs of freshly turned soil, vegetation distress, and broader surface changes, our system doesn’t just flag potential risks—it confirms when a new and developing threat wasn’t there just days ago. With rapid field verification and, when needed, on-the-ground intervention, operators can stay ahead of emerging hazards and protect critical infrastructure.
CONSTRUCTION, Digging, & Erosion
Construction, excavation, and even farming activities like plowing and terracing can put pipelines at risk—whether from direct contact or the stress of heavy machinery operating nearby. Miscommunication, rushed timelines, or improper digging are often to blame, leading to costly damage and serious safety hazards.
While 811 safe digging programs help establish proper notifications, a lot can happen between marking underground assets and completing construction. That’s why we go beyond the basics—actively monitoring sites from start to finish with frequent satellite revisits. By tracking scraping, digging, and other high-risk activities in real time, we help prevent damage before it happens, protecting infrastructure, communities, and critical pipeline networks.
OrBITAL OVERWatch
Orbital Advisors' Orbital Overwatch provides advanced damage prevention monitoring for long-term, large-scale, or remote construction projects. Once notified of 811 activity at your site, we start generating satellite-based timelapse videos to continuously track construction from start to finish. With frequent satellite revisits, we enhance sensitivity to digging, scraping, and other high-impact activities near at-risk assets. Protecting infrastructure goes beyond compliance—it’s about safeguarding communities and critical pipelines through proactive, real-time monitoring.

Environmental Change Detection
KEEP AN EYE ON MOTHER NATURE
Environmental changes pose significant risks to oil and gas infrastructure, impacting integrity and safety. Extreme weather events like floods and tornadoes can erode soil, expose pipelines, or damage facilities. Temperature fluctuations from wildfires and even brush fires may cause expansion and contraction, accelerating stress and the risk of failures. Wind and seismic activity can weaken structures over time, while seasonal changes, such as freeze-thaw cycles, contribute to ground shifts that strain buried pipelines. Even gradual erosion or shifting water tables can alter pipeline stability.
To mitigate these risks, we use satellites to track environmental changes and proactively address potential threats.

Pipeline Classification
LOOK AFTER your community
Maintaining compliance with DOT 49 CFR 192.5 can be challenging as populations grow and communities expand. Orbital Advisors’ Pipeline Classification Surveys help operators streamline this process by using satellite imagery and census data to track changes in building inventories near pipelines. This reduces manual workload, ensures up-to-date data, and improves accuracy in classification updates. By proactively identifying high-risk segments, operators can enhance regulatory compliance, reduce costs, and strengthen public safety—protecting both infrastructure and communities with the most current information available.
