Class Location Monitoring.

Optimize Your Pipeline Risk Assessment Process

Class location assessment is a critical input for pipeline risk management and regulatory compliance. Based on the density of dwellings intended for human occupancy near the pipeline corridor, the class location of the pipeline is defined. As population density increases, so do monitoring requirements and safety obligations under PHMSA regulations.  

For the purpose of PHMSA compliance, our tool offers a satellite-powered approach to class location assessment, transforming a traditionally time-consuming and labor-intensive process into a scalable, consistent and frequently updated solution. By continuously detecting and monitoring buildings along the pipeline corridor and its Right-of-Way, operators can proactively identify changes in population density and minimize potential impact before incidents occur, not after. 

Why Use Our Class Location Service?

Our solution automatically identifies new and obsolete dwellings across an extended corridor using advanced satellite analytics. This removes the need for year-long manual surveys, allowing operators to complete class location assessments in just 1 hour instead of months using a tool designed especially for your GIS and GIP teams.
