Oil & Gas (Cloud-Based) Time-Lapse Construction Video
The Challenge
The client, a major oil sands producer, required a time-lapse construction video of their SAGD facility. The location that was selected for the camera system provided an optimal view of the site, however a primary power source and network connectivity was not available.
The Solution
Our team designed and fabricated a rugged solar-powered camera system that can operate in extremely cold climates. The Remote Service Unit (RSU) generated enough energy to power the camera and broadband radio over a 3-year period. Rigstar’s Network Operations Centre (NOC) monitored the radio link and battery level to insure the camera system was capturing all the events.
The Outcome
The camera system maintained 100% uptime and successfully documented the 3-year project. The end user had complete visibility of the site from start to finish and could download the HD video at any given time.
