Oil and gas pipelines pass through all the terrains of our country.
In many cases, blasting is carried out by small-scale and neighbouring property owners in a manner that may damage the pipelines. Another cause of concerns is earthquakes. Micro-earthquakes also cause displacements for which pipelines are not designed.
Uttam Blatech understands this in-depth. We assess the potential damage to a pipeline from the blasting operations and help in mitigating them. Uttam Blastech can install seismograph stations to monitor ground vibrations continuously to understand the nature and intensity of vibrations.
| Client Name: | Big Indian conglomerate (Name withheld upon client request) |
| Project and Constraint: | When a prominent Indian conglomerate, was setting up a new venture in Palghar, a seismic-activity sensitive area, they were worried about the impact of minor earthquakes on the pipelines that were just laid. Uttam Blastech was brought on-board to assess vibrations and avoid any damage to the project |
| Our Approach: | – Set-up a permanent monitoring station in and nearby the site – Check the IoT seismographs 24 hours and document the recordings thoroughly |
