AGM Rental and Remote Tracking
Remote tracking and AGM rental solutions supporting complex ILI runs across long-distance and hard-to-access pipeline segments.
Remote Tracking Services
Diamond Edge Services offers advanced remote-tracking solutions tailored for today’s geographically dispersed and logistically complex inspection projects. Operating nationwide, our teams deliver remote visibility for pipeline runs that cross difficult terrain, restricted-access areas, and long-distance routes.
By combining experienced project oversight with connected tracking technology, we enable operators and ILI companies to monitor tool progress, validate passages, and maintain situational awareness without needing continuous on-site staffing. This capability improves safety, cuts logistical burdens, and offers real-time insights across projects in multiple states or remote locations. Our remote tracking method is especially valuable for extended runs and large-scale programs, where timely information and centralized oversight are essential to success.
Patriot AGM Technology
The Patriot Above-Ground Marker (AGM) is a fully connected pig-tracking solution engineered for demanding pipeline integrity campaigns. Designed for remote and complex inspection environments, it delivers reliable sensor capture, multi-mode communications, cloud connectivity, and remote data access without manual retrieval after a run.
Multi-Sensor Detection
Patriot AGM units capture multiple pig-tracking signal types, including magnetic, electromagnetic, and geophone audio signals. Integrated digital signal processing supports accurate passage confirmation, tool speed analysis, and real-time signal characterization.
Advanced Communications
Multi-mode connectivity enables reliable operation across varied environments, including LTE cellular, satellite (Iridium), and Bluetooth. Sensor readings and passage events are broadcast remotely, even in areas without traditional coverage.
PAT Track Dashboard
Integration with the PAT Track Dashboard provides remote monitoring and control through live maps, signal graphs, alerts, and historic run summaries. Tool passages can be validated without requiring on-site personnel at each marker location.
Live Data Streaming
Connected units stream magnetic, electromagnetic, and geophone audio data in real time. Live waveforms and audio feedback allow passage events to be validated as they occur during the run.
Power and Deployment Flexibility
Standard D-cell batteries and configurable power modes support extended deployments. Runtime exceeds 10 days in many configurations, depending on sampling rates, communications mode, and environmental conditions.
Cloud-Based Data Retrieval & Reporting
A key operational advantage of the Patriot AGM is that there’s no need to physically retrieve the units after a run to access data. Thanks to their connected design:
- Passage logs, time-stamped GPS coordinates, and sensor streams are automatically uploaded to the cloud
- Remote download produces run reports instantly
- Stakeholders get data availability without waiting for manual downloads upon physical recovery
This dramatically shortens turnaround time for run validation and post-analysis reporting.
AGM Rental Programs
Diamond Edge Services provides AGM rental programs to support short-term or project-specific tracking needs without the upfront cost of ownership. Our rental units are well-maintained, ready for field use, and backed by experienced staff to ensure proper setup and dependable performance. This flexible option enables clients to scale resources effectively while maintaining the accuracy needed for successful pipeline operations.
