TTC Works
With Advancing
Pipeline Condition
Assessment Using
DRONES

By Tom Iseley, Ph.D. and Saleh Behbahani | Trenchless Technology Center
As part of a graduate-level class
at Louisiana Tech University,
Ruston, La., on entrepreneurship in construction, the use of
drone technology for industrial
inspection was explored.
This all came about through
civil engineering graduate student Brice Gillikin, who works
with his Bastrop, La, family
business that specializes in
industrial inspections. During
the past few years, the company
has adopted the use of drones,
due to time and cost savings
and increased safety. A recent
purchase was a drone specifically designed for confined
space applications, including
pipelines. For a course project,
Gillikin is developing a business plan for the application
of drone pipeline condition assessment (PCA) and forming a
partnership with the Trenchless
Technology Center at Louisiana
Tech.

The Drone PCA demonstration for an
active 72-inch storm drain line.
Live demonstration
The TTC has a cooperative
working relationship with
the Ruston, La., Department
of Public Works (DPW). This
includes a partnership to
establish a Living Lab, which
will permit initial and longterm evaluation and validation
of most technical solutions
involved with underground
infrastructure challenges. When
DPW was approached about
utilizing drone PCA technology,
Darrell Caraway, director, was
eager to cooperate with a pilot
project.
The drone PCA demonstration project took place on April
27. The objective was to evaluate the fly-ability and imaging
data acquisition capability of
the Elios drone equipped with
CCTV and thermo imaging
cameras in 18-, 24- and 72-inch
diameter pipelines. Representatives from several companies
