According to Chris Varley, Chairman of Export & General (E&G) Insurance, businesses are rarely proactive in looking early for better PIPELINE PATROL insurance premiums, which can contribute significantly to wider cost-cutting measures. “Whether you need insurance for your aircraft, hangar-keeper’s liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, speaking to us early, FLYING THE LINE! perhaps a couple of months before the renewal date, can mean significant savings,” says Varley, who adds “We’re happy to remind you so feel free to let us know your current renewal dates.” ABOUT E&G AVIATION INSURANCE E&G Aviation Insurance is a leading aviation insurance broker specialising in insurance liability business cover including professional indemnity; cover for buildings including hangars and workshops; and for aircraft whether operating commercially, privately, or for training. It is a trading name of Export & General Insurance Services Limited (E&G), Beverley Meads Recreation Ground, Barham Road, Copse Hill, Wimbledon, SW20 0ET UK. For further information please contact INSURANCE FOR Maintenance Organisations 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.

The Monitors of Aerial Work Aviation

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. The specialised group of Aerial Work aviators and aircraft dedicated to this mission is ‘Pipeline Patrol.’ Pipeline Patrol provides aerial pipeline monitoring services that focus on quality, accurate inspections with timely detailed reporting to aid pipeline operators. Their focus is to protect the integrity of the pipeline operator’s strip of land (known as ‘Right-of-Way’ or ROW) and the pipes laid there. Pipeline Transportation 101 Starting with the big picture, the end-user of aerial Pipeline Patrol services is the Pipeline Transportation industry sector. Pipelines transport almost all the natural gas and nearly two-thirds of all hazardous liquids (including chemicals, crude oil, and refined petroleum). Most of these pipelines are underground and privately owned by pipeline companies, rather than gas and oil production companies (e.g., BP, Shell, etc.). When it comes to this, there are three significant types of

Have you ever thought you could have a large, hazardous pipeline underneath or near your neighbourhood? If you did, you probably thought “How is the pipeline industry keeping these pipes safe?” Patrick Ryan ‘unearths’ the truth of how one part of this industry, the Pipeline Patrol of Aerial Work aviation, is part of that safety net, ensuring those critical lines are safe and effective. transportation structures aerial Pipeline Patrols monitor: Natural Gas Distribution — Natural gas distribution consists of pipeline networks used to ship natural gas from transmission pipelines to private and commercial customers. Natural Gas Transmission and Storage — Natural gas transmission and storage involve moving natural gas from its sources to the local companies operating the distribution network. Included are storage facilities and pump stations. Hazardous Liquid Pipelines and Tanks — Hazardous liquid pipelines and tanks entail transporting crude oil to refineries or refined petroleum products (e.g., gasoline or diesel fuel) to product terminals and airports. Because Mother Nature likes to corrode and shift both natural and man-made objects, it’s ever more critical that .COM pipeline transportation companies track and repair the
