Safety of the Harampurneftegaz pipeline system under control of ZALA BAS

ZALA won a tender for aerial monitoring of the pipeline system of Kharampurneftegaz - the contract is for two years. Every month, ZALA T-16 unmanned aircraft systems survey 6,500 kilometres of pipelines for this company, many of which run through the swampy terrain of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

In the Far North, where traditional inspection methods are often difficult due to frost, remoteness and inaccessibility of objects, unmanned aerial systems have become indispensable assistants. ZALA T-16s allow ground services to conduct remote surveillance and aerial photography at a distance of more than 75 kilometres, promptly detect pipeline damage, illegal taps and the presence of unauthorised persons in the protection zone, as well as solve many other tasks. A high-resolution thermal imager installed on board helps to monitor objects at night or in poor visibility conditions, as well as to detect hidden leaks of petroleum products. ZALA UASs can operate at temperatures as low as -40℃, remaining effective even in the harsh Siberian winters.

Thanks to special ZALA 4Z1 software, customer representatives can connect to the broadcast from the flying aircraft from anywhere in the world. The object recognition system installed on ZALA T-16 aircraft, as well as the analysis and processing of aerial survey data using AI, help to quickly obtain objective information on the condition of large areas, determine the exact coordinates of problem areas and speed up the decision-making process.

Today, ZALA BAS is used to protect pipeline systems by the largest enterprises of the Russian fuel and energy sector. The company's technologies reduce monitoring costs, help prevent accidents and multiply the level of environmental friendliness and safety at facilities.
