He’s back! Rhett Dotson and Christopher De Leon sit down with the Dirt Merchant, aka Alex McKenzie-Johnson—this time to talk about a publication he didn’t even author. That is what you call a humble man.

Join us on the newest episode of Pipeline Things, where Chris, Rhett and Alex discuss the IPCE publication, “A Deep Dive Into The Use of LiDAR Change Detection Analysis for Regional Landslide Monitoring in the Appalachian Basin Region of the U.S.” During this episode, you’ll learn more about using LiDAR to manage geohazard threats.

Highlights: 

• How does LiDAR fit into geohazard management programs? What are its alternatives? 

• How can operators access LiDAR data? What is publicly available and what has to be gathered by operators?

• How do you match historical and current LiDAR data for shifting geological landscapes? How accurate can these assessments be?

In this episode of Pipeline Things, Rhett Dotson and Christopher De Leon are joined by Jason Skow to discuss truncated data and what it means for a level 3 validation and API 1163. From Jason’s memorable meet-cute with Chris to tackling truncated data, this episode is packed with useful insight and lessons learned from Jason’s career in pipeline integrity.

Chris and Rhett ask Jason about his 2022 IPCE publication, “Estimating measurement performance with truncated data sets.” They ask about the origin of Jason’s idea, the applicability, and about his experience and insight into API 1163 Level 3 validations.

Highlights:

• What is the difference between API 1163 Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3?
• When do you use each level of validation? How do you know a certain level is appropriate in a given scenario?
• How common are API 1163 Level 3 validations?
• How are Level 3 validations beneficial for quantitative integrity assessment programs?
• Can you still do a Level 3 validation with truncated data?
