Pipeline Patrols

With Australias’ vast network of pipelines the helicopter has come into its own as the perfect resource to patrol gas and oil fields and associated pipelines involved.

The helicopter is able to fly along easements at speeds of 0km/hr to 200km/hr. With an unobstructed view the observer is able to assess the state of the line and if needed land on the line to have a closer look or talk to local landowners.

MI Helicopters uses the helicopter for:

  • Line patrols
  • Crew ferry
  • Emergency repair and inspections
  • Sub station inspections and readings
  • Radio communication tower remote access

Contractors are able to utilise all of MI Helicopters technology when conducting their patrols eg:

  • Moving map displays and overlays
  • Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
  • Digital camera (still and moving)
  • Onboard tracking system
  • Stabilised camera mounts
  • Infra Red (IR) Camera

MI Helicopters operates a remote fuel truck for larger jobs reducing downtime for refuelling.

MI Helicopters can prepare a tailor made quote to suit your commercial requirements.
