From Dry Slopes to Disaster Zones: Why Landslide Modeling Needs a Rain Check
When do landslides actually happen? Not when the slope is steep—but when it’s steep, saturated, and pushed past its tipping point. And yet: most landslide models in use today ignore that final push. They tell us where landslides might occur based on slope and soil—but not when. And that omission is what leaves so many […]
From Tragedy to Resilience: How AI is Transforming Disaster Management
This article summarizes a talk that Teren CEO Toby Kraft gave at Enercom Denver August 20th, 2025. A Tragic 4th On July 4, 2025, communities in Texas Hill Country were blindsided by a 20-foot wall of water. In less than 90 minutes, a convective burst unleashed over 12 inches of rainfall – more than Denver’s […]
What Makes a Good Hazard Model for Critical Infrastructure Operations? 6 Questions to Ask
Hazard models are everywhere, from FEMA flood maps to state landslide inventories to national wildfire indices. But not all models are created equal. For infrastructure operators (be it pipelines, utilities, transportation, renewables and beyond), integrity engineers, and damage prevention teams, these models directly influence decisions on where to deploy crews, how to prioritize integrity management […]
No More Data for Data’s Sake: Cutting Through Pipeline Data Clutter
Pipeline operations and integrity teams are inundated with data. From LiDAR scans and IMU readings to photogrammetry, satellite imagery, and weather feeds, the volume of incoming information can feel paralyzing. As one panelist at Teren’s recent Operator discussion on weather and external force threats put it, the real challenge isn’t always a lack of data—it’s […]
Introducing Terevue Hydrotech: Real-time Flood and Scour Risk Intelligence for Pipeline Operators
Flooding doesn’t wait for maps to be updated. Yet too many asset managers and operators are still relying on legacy flood tools that were never built for today’s extreme weather—or the critical infrastructure they threaten. That’s why Teren is proud to introduce the Hydrotech Module—the latest addition to the Terevue Platform, purpose-built to help pipeline […]
How a Rain Event Validated Terevue’s Accuracy in Predicting Landslide Threats
One operator’s experience proved that Terevue can catch the risks no patrol or instrument might see—until it’s too late. The Challenge Pipeline operators face an uphill battle when managing assets in landslide-prone regions. With limited instrumentation like inclinometers, most rely on aerial patrols and historical data to detect potential threats. But with traditional methods, not […]
Harnessing Geospatial Data and Machine Learning to Protect Your Pipeline
Pipelines face constant challenges from external, natural forces that can compromise safety and operational integrity. Geospatial data science has emerged as an innovative approach to better understanding, predicting, and mitigating these complex environmental risks. By leveraging advanced mapping technologies and sophisticated risk assessment tools, pipeline integrity engineers and operations managers can now anticipate potential threats […]
Navigating Weather and External Force Threats in Pipeline Integrity: Key Insights from Industry Leaders
On March 3, 2025, Teren hosted an expert panel in Houston, bringing together leading pipeline operators and industry experts to discuss the evolving threats posed by weather and external forces. The panel featured a geohazard program representative from an industry partner, Jared Kowis (Enbridge), Moness Rizkalla (Visitless Integrity Assessment Ltd) and was moderated by Brian […]
