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.
