What is the typical frequency of foot patrols?

The typical frequency of foot patrols is often set at every 2-3 weeks to ensure that any potential issues along the pipeline can be identified and addressed in a timely manner. This interval strikes a balance between being frequent enough to catch potential hazards or changes in the environment, such as vegetation growth or signs of erosion, while not being overly burdensome on resources. Regular foot patrols are essential for maintaining the integrity of the pipeline and ensuring safety, as they allow for detailed inspections that aerial patrols may not fully capture. By conducting these foot patrols every 2-3 weeks, operators can ensure that they remain proactive in their monitoring efforts, ultimately helping to prevent safety incidents and mitigate environmental risks.
