}
{
"text": "
We use high-resolution satellite images to find third-party pipeline encroachments. Those could threaten the safety of buried hydrocarbon lines.
Our PipeWATCH service has detected many encroachments that triggered email alerts to the pipeline operator. Often, waste dumping and farming activities are flagged. But the most serious threats involved non-permitted placement of backyard sheds or similar construction by a private landowner whose property abutted the pipeline corridor.
