“We also had SRC go out and fly a flight im-mediately
after the fire had been put out…
that’s been used for evaluation of our re-sponse.
It will be a good record for things
like insurance and review of whether we
put equipment in the right spot and did
things the right way because much of the
equipment that was used in the response
was still in place.”
Schoenroth is also a member of the
Pipeline Research Council International
and had the opportunity to share some of
TransGas’s learnings with them.
“I’ve been able to share some of our post-incident
response images and experi-ence
with other operators at a conference
that were considering how to use UAV for
incident-type response situations,” he said.
Sky’s the limit
There’s potential for UAVs to assist in emer-gency
preparedness and SRC is exploring
the application of additional UAV technol-ogies
to assist in emergency response situ-ations
in the future. Safety is an over-riding
priority at SRC, so it makes sense to look
at opportunities to assist in these types of
situations. As new tools are developed to
increase their level of effectiveness, the po-tential
for the future use of UAVs will only
continue to advance.
No one can predict when an emergency
is going to happen. But when it does, UAVs,
along with other smart technologies, are
going to start playing a bigger part in the
response, recovery and rebuild.
SASKATCHEWAN RESEARCH COUNCIL
By leveraging UAVs
alongside traditional
manned relief efforts
in an emergency,
operations can be
conducted faster,
safer and more
efficiently.
