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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

API RP 1187 Recommended Practice for Managing Landslide Hazards for Pipeline Integrity Explained, and How to Implement

Introduction to API Recommended Practices Landslides are complex geological phenomena that can have devastating effects on pipeline infrastructure and pose a significant threat to pipelines crossing complex terrain. They can be caused by both natural events and human activities and represent a constant risk to operations, especially in pipelines traversing mountainous or unstable areas. API […]

Pipeline Integrity Management: Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Natural Force Threats 

Introduction Pipeline infrastructure serves as the backbone of global energy networks, delivering the resources that power industries and homes alike. Yet, these critical systems face unprecedented challenges from natural forces, which cause hundreds of pipeline incidents costing millions each year, according to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). In this guide, we delve […]
