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 […]
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 […]
Wildfire Ready: How the USDA-NRCS Is Using Environmental Intelligence to Prioritize Forest and Rangeland Resilience
Introduction With over 500 million acres of U.S. grazing lands under growing wildfire pressure, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is advancing innovative strategies to address these challenges. Through the Rangeland and Forestland Fuel Management Hazard Zone Prioritization for Conservation Treatments project, commonly known as “NRCS Wildfire Ready,” the agency is piloting a scalable […]
Introducing Terevue Geotech Module: Predictive Insight for Landslide Risk
Pipeline operators, asset managers, and environmental engineers are under growing pressure to monitor and manage geotechnical hazards like landslides. Dormant threats can awaken with a single downpour, and policies such as PHMSA CFR 192.613 and ADB-2022-01 are now clear: pipeline operators must move beyond reactive responses and demonstrate proactive, risk-based management before severe weather turns […]
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 […]
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 […]
