Work performed by third parties in the vicinity of a pipeline is the main cause of accidents on the pipeline network. There are many ways of reducing the risk of an accident, from measures in the construction phase (choosing a thicker pipe, for example) through to surveillance during operations (aerial and other methods) and prevention. In addition, information campaigns involving the distribution of flyers to neighbors, local communities and construction companies are the most effective and universally-recognized method of preventing pipeline accidents.
