Recently, we were asked to quote on insurance for a maintenance business and having been successful, it occurred to us how significant this area is — and how much the flying community relies on good maintenance. Pilots and aircraft owners almost always take it on trust that the mechanics and engineers are professionals who have a good safety culture, high quality workmanship, and many years’ experience of the engines, airframes and avionics they are tasked with maintaining.
Insurance is vital as even the best organisations face the risk of damage to aircraft and components in their care, or to workers and others in the hangar. Meanwhile faulty workmanship may have implications that don’t appear for days, months or years after an aircraft has returned to flying. So please do feel free to ask us for a quote and we can help you to ensure the cover you have does really cover all the aspects mentioned above in a comprehensive way.

Included are storage facilities and pump stations. Starting with the big picture, the end-user of aerial Pipeline Patrol services is the Pipeline Transportation Hazardous Liquid Pipelines and Tanks — Hazardous industry sector. Pipelines transport almost all the natural liquid pipelines and tanks entail transporting crude oil to gas and nearly two-thirds of all hazardous liquids refineries or refined petroleum products (e.g., gasoline or (including chemicals, crude oil, and refined petroleum). diesel fuel) to product terminals and airports. Most of these pipelines are underground and privately owned by pipeline companies, rather than gas and oil Because Mother Nature likes to corrode and shift both production companies (e.g., BP, Shell, etc.). When it natural and man-made objects, it’s ever more critical that comes to this, there are three significant types of pipeline transportation companies track and repair the .COM
industry, the Pipeline Patrol of Aerial Work aviation, is part of that safety net, ensuring those critical lines are safe and effective. Of all the different land, ground and sea personnel and equipment hard at work across the global energy grid, manned and unmanned aircraft are probably near the top of the list of platforms that ensure energy is delivered from the drilling rig to your home safely. Governments around the globe require oil, gas and chemical pipeline operators to conduct periodic inspections to detect risks to both the network and the general public. In addition, the possibilities of natural disasters, security threats, and product theft require even greater pipeline monitoring diligence.
With more than 2,000,000 miles (3,218,69 km) of pipeline in over 100 countries worldwide, the more traditional ground methods of inspection, survey, and repair are proving to be both slow and costly. Therefore, with the unique capabilities and reach of the Aerial Work aviation sector, pipeline operators can leverage this air power to ensure their networks are flowing smoothly without worry.
