Europe's energy networks rely on thousands of kilometres of pipelines that need to be monitored regularly, precisely and traceably from the air. Sourse, a Belgian Earth Intelligence company, has built Horizon - an aerial digital monitoring solution that turns every overflight into actionable intelligence for pipeline managers. SPO operators and aerial mapping companies can now become certified Sourse aviation partners - flying pipeline corridors and delivering digital monitoring intelligence as a structured, recurring B2B activity. Simple to deploy. Easy to operate.
Becoming a Sourse certified partner is straightforward. Light aircraft such as the Cessna 172, 182 or 206 and helicopters such as the Robinson R44 or R66, can be equipped with Vaynor - Sourse's embedded sensor, fitted in minutes. Once airborne, Vaynor captures high-resolution imagery along the corridor and transmits it in Near Real-Time to Horizon, Sourse's digital monitoring platform. Alerts are automatically generated, geolocated and delivered to the pipeline operator in one click. Partners focus on what they do best : flying.
A proven technology, now scaling across Europe and beyond.
Horizon has been deployed and proven via Sourse's own aircraft, with Europe's largest pipeline operators - 120,000 km monitored across six countries. Today, the company extends its reach across Europe and beyond through a certified local aviation partner network. Thousands of kilometers of pipeline corridors remain to be covered. As EU regulations tighten and operators are required to document their vigilance, the demand for recurring aerial monitoring is structural. The opportunity is real.
Joining the Sourse network.
Sourse is now inviting SPO operators and aerial mapping companies to join its certified partner program - and play a direct role in protecting the critical energy infrastructure that powers communities across Europe. Each new partner is supported by Sourse from day one.
“With our long‑standing experience in aerial surveying and operations, we see strong potential in digital pipeline monitoring. Working with Sourse allows us to explore this emerging field and to build the specific operational setup required for reliable monitoring missions.” – Joerg Werteli, CEO BSF Swissphoto.
