Pipeline  XYZ mapping  service  offered by CDRiA  provides  an  operator with precise and  detailed information on geographical  and  spatia location of the pipeline  (pipeline route in x,y,z coordinates).
 
XYZ mapping is based on a  survey of  CDRiA  intelligent pig (Korsonic, Kalibrak) installed with independent on-board navigation system, which measures XYZ data.
 
The navigation system uses a high performance fiber optic gyro technology (FOG) to provide a high-accuracy measurement of pipeline spatial coordinates (XYZ data).
 
The recorded XYZ data may  be converted to the reference system required by the operator (e.g. WGS84, PUWG2000 etc.)
 
The main applications of XYZ mapping:

• Detailed visualization of the actual pipeline route, which also includes    pipeline features:
  •  2D  route displayed on the digital maps   (e.g. for geodetic and GIS purposes)
  •  3D route combined with a numerical model of the land   (e.g. for determination of the pipeline depth of cover)
• Incorporation of the in-line inspection data (metal losses etc.) into XYZ data, which is subsequently converted into the spatial land   model
• Comparison of multiple  XYZ mapping  surveys for detection of pipeline movement resulting from: riverbed erosion, slope instability or mining damage etc.
• Assessment of pipeline spatial profiles laid in inaccessible locations  (under the river bottoms, swamps, water reservoirs etc.)
• Verification of geodetics data in an inaccessible terrain
