Pipeline Patrol
CBH Aviation started Pipeline Patrols more than 20 years ago with 1 Fixed-Wing asset. In the following years, we’ve gained knowledge and expertise, expanding our footprint nationwide. We have developed relationships with the best technology companies to ensure we offer only the best services to our clients. Be it routine visual inspections, leak detection missions, ROW video, or storm patrols; CBH Aviation will meet and exceed your needs.
- Routine Aerial Patrol: Survey ROW for incursions and provide excellent aerial photography and GPS Coordinates
- LDS: utilizing Apogee: 50 samples per second of methane, total hydrocarbons and CO2
- LDS: utilizing ALMA: Infrared laser, system analyzes, and tests for methane
- 911 Incursion: Identify dangerous situations and relay back to client (Near Instantaneous Notifications)
- Storm Patrol: Full fleet available to ensure safety (MD 500, Bell 206, R44 Raven II)
- CBH Aviation utilizes the latest technology to ensure all patrols are completed in a timely and efficient manner. CBH Aviation offers next business day reporting for routine aerial patrols and near instantaneous turn-around for 911 incursions. 2 pilot system utilized to increase efficiency and effectiveness. All flight crews OQ Certified (in-house Veriforce Certificated Trainer), cross trained and OSHA safety trained.
