  1. INTRODUCTION • Established 1998 • Contract aerial patrols in 7 states • Patrols 10,000 miles of power line annually • Patrols 180,000 miles of pipeline annually • Owned and operated by aviation professionals • We operate both turbine and piston helicopters

  2. MAP OF OPERATIONS CBH currently patrols a majority of the Mid-Atlantic U.S. We are available for special projects and contract work NATIONWIDE.

  3. UTILITY PATROL DIVISION • Gas Leak Detection (air and ground) • High Quality Ortho-Mosaic Photography • LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) • Data Processing Services • Infrared Inspections/Video • Corona Inspections/Video • Day TV Inspections/Video • Aerial Patrol Reporting

  4. GAS LEAK DETECTION

  5. GAS LEAK DETECTION As of October 2006: CBH is named by Leak Surveys, Inc as the sole service provider of aerial gas leak detection with the FLIR GasFindIR camera in the Eastern Time Zone of the U.S. The GasFindIR camera is currently being used by pipeline companies to satisfy DOT mandated pipeline leak surveys. Ask us for more information!

  6. GAS LEAK DETECTION CBH can provide both aerial and ground based leak detection services. CLICK IN WINDOW TO PLAY VIDEO

  7. GAS LEAK DETECTION FLIR GasFindIR History and Info: • Developed by David Furry in Texas • Can visually detect hydrocarbon gases • Utilizes a super cooled bypass filter • Currently built by FLIR Systems • Lightweight and portable • Can be gimble mounted

  8. GAS LEAK DETECTION The FLIR GasFindIR camera is growing in popularity. Some current GasFindIR users and customers are: • The Environmental Protection Agency • Embridge Gas (uses aerial camera for Method 21 compliance) • Texas Commission on Environmental Quality • Louisiana Department on Environmental Quality • Kinder Morgan Energy • Texas PetroChemical • Exxon Mobil • Dow Chemical • Duke Energy • Targa/Dynegy • BP

  9. ORTHO-MOSAIC PHOTOGRAPHY

  10. ORTHO-MOSAIC PHOTOGRAPHY • Document existing/planned line construction • Measure objects in imagery • Perfect for house counts/density studies • Available in 4 to 20 mega-pixel quality • Can draw line off-sets in images

  13. LIDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging)

  14. LIDAR LIDAR directly measures the elevation and horizontal azimuth of terrain, power lines and other objects.

  15. LIDAR Some typical uses of LIDAR technology for utility companies are: • Power line system mapping • New power line/pipeline route planning • Danger object and danger tree classifications • Line sag evaluations • High quality ortho-mosaic pictures of ROW • Building counts/density studies

  16. LIDAR PROCESSING SERVICES CBH will also process your LIDAR data. • Data outputs are ESRI compatible (ASCII, .BIN, .LAS, .TIFF, .JPEG) • TerraScan, TerraPhoto, TerraModeler – primary software used • Raw LIDAR data • Still Photography / ortho-mosaics • Micro-station based • LIDAR point classifications • Danger trees / obstacles • Line sag determination / verification • Digital modeling services

  17. LIDAR EXAMPLES

  18. VIDEO INSPECTION SERVICES

  19. VIDEO INSPECTION SERVICES CBH camera gimbal has 3 stabilized video sensors: • INFRARED • CORONA • Day TV/VIDEO This is the only unit of its kind in the entire U.S!

  20. VIDEO INSPECTION SERVICES Video feeds are displayed on high backlit screens at the observers station

  21. VIDEO INSPECTION SERVICES INFRARED PATROLS • Detects “hot spots” on switches, insulators and other hardware • Find problem areas before they become expensive outages • Real time temperature analysis /programmable temp ranges • Gyro-stabilized digital video
