Abstract

Pipeline infrastructure faces increasing exposure to geohazards such as landslides, seismic activity, flooding, and soil erosion—posing significant threats to operational integrity and public safety. This presentation explores how integrating geohazard datasets into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enables proactive risk assessment, spatial analysis, and strategic mitigation planning across pipeline networks.
Key topics include:
• Types of geohazard data and their relevance to pipeline safety
• GIS-based spatial modeling to identify high-risk segments and prioritize inspections
• Overlay techniques for combining geotechnical, hydrological, and seismic layers with pipeline routes
• Real-world case studies demonstrating improved risk visibility and response planning
• Recommendations for data governance, interoperability, and stakeholder collaboration

Attendees will gain actionable insights into building resilient pipeline systems by leveraging geospatial intelligence and geohazard analytics—transforming data into a strategic asset for safety, compliance, and operational excellence.
