Check out this time-lapse video of a lengthy construction project we started in January 2020 and completed in March 2020. Background: Several pipelines cross a river in Conroe, Texas. A sandpit had expanded over time, and heavy flow had degraded the bed of the channel and eroded the banks, exposing and suspending the pipelines.

On March 10, guests from Nicholls State University visited our headquarters in Houma, LA, to learn more about erosion and our turnkey solutions. We demonstrated our augmented reality (AR) sandbox to explain how pipelines become exposed. We also introduced our visitors to our plant in Amelia, LA, so they could see how our articulating concrete

The U.S. has over 2.5 million miles of pipelines crisscrossing the country. As existing lines grow older, critics warn that the risk of accidents could increase. Many pipelines transport petroleum products and natural gas. Some pipelines transport other hazardous products such as chemicals, highly volatile liquids, anhydrous ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Exposure to these products

Topographical Surveying and Mapping Submar can provide topographical surveying services via a site assessment survey that will assist us in engineering design. Our surveying equipment consists of RTK GPS, robotic total stations, and unmanned aerial vehicles (a.k.a. drones) that collect the project site data. After the data is collected, civil designers use AutoCAD 3D software

As demand grows every day, the challenge to provide enough energy can be daunting. Just by the end of the 21st century, the global energy consumption is predicted to triple. In order to prevent an increase of global temperature by more than 2 degrees, the world’s energy emissions have to be limited to nearly 0

The oil and gas sector works to mitigate risk and implement site-specific contingency plans in line with worldwide standards. The challenge is to maintain these standards in an increasingly pressurized global environment. As the world’s population continues to climb and the global appetite for energy grows, the sector must strive for innovative ways to tap

Landslides are a constant threat to many pipeline sites. Landslides, mudflows, earth slumps, rockfalls, and other types of slope failures threaten job sites in many terrains, not just hills or mountains. They can be fast or slow, wet or dry, small or large, shallow or deep, and reactivated or new. Because of the long, linear

Inside the Pipeline Monitoring Operation Pipeline companies use a wide variety of methods to monitor pipelines, from highly advanced technology to patrolling the pipeline right-of-way. Visual inspections are done regularly – either by walking, flying, or using drones – and the industry also uses electronic monitoring from high-tech control rooms and patrols inside the pipeline.
