  • Publication number: 20100030528
    Abstract: A system for determining location data related to at least one underground installation includes a non-invasive underground structure detection system, at least one analyzer mechanism, and at least one computer. The non-invasive underground structure detection system is configured to scan a survey area and transmit a first data set at least partially representative of the survey area. The survey area includes at least one underground installation. The at least one analyzer mechanism is configured to measure at least one physical characteristic associated with the at least one underground installation and transmit a second data set at least partially representative of the at least one measured physical characteristic. The at least one computer receives the first transmitted data and the second transmitted data, and determines location data related to the at least one underground installation based at least in part on the first and second transmitted data sets.

  • Publication number: 20100023303
    Abstract: A system for non-invasive monitoring of an underground installation includes at least one monitoring installation associated with the underground installation; at least one analyzer mechanism configured to measure at least one physical characteristic associated with the at least one monitoring installation and transmit a data set at least partially representative of the at least one measured physical characteristic; and at least one computer having a computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by a processor of the computer, causes the processor to implement the instructions. The at least one computer is in communication with an input mechanism and a display unit. The at least one computer includes programming instructions adapted to operate the processor to receive the transmitted data set, and adapted to operate the processor to determine a location of the monitoring installation based at least in part on the transmitted data set.

  • Publication number: 20090312986
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for analyzing a pipeline, that includes an analyzer mechanism, defined as a probe, configured to measure at least one physical characteristic associated with the pipeline and transmit data based upon the at least one measured physical characteristic. The invention includes at least one computer. The computer comprising programming instructions adapted to operate a processor to receive transmitted data from the probe; and programming instructions adapted to operate the processor to determine pipeline data associated with the pipeline. The invention can autonomously determine bending radius, pulling tension and sidewall pressure data. The physical characteristic data includes distance traveled depth, elevation, angle, changing in inclination, or change in speed.
