Which type of patrol is NOT commonly associated with obtaining reliable pipeline ROW information?

Remote inspections are typically conducted using advanced technology such as drones or cameras that provide visual data but may not always allow for comprehensive verification of the pipeline Right of Way (ROW) conditions. While they can be effective in some scenarios, they often lack the depth of immediate, on-the-ground analysis that is vital for gathering reliable information about the surrounding environment and the state of the pipeline.

In contrast, aerial patrols provide a broad overview of the pipeline and its surroundings, allowing for the identification of potential issues from the air. On-site surveys are in-person assessments that enable detailed observations and data collection directly related to the ROW. Routine vehicle inspections complement these methods by allowing for close-up evaluations and maintenance checks of the pipeline and its infrastructure.

Thus, remote inspections, while they can serve a purpose, generally do not offer the same level of reliability in terms of gathering essential pipeline ROW information as the other methods do.
