AGM Survey & Tool Tracking
Trimble GNSS surveys and ILI dig support that keep your integrity program accurate and on schedule.
Good AGM data keeps your ILI program running the way it should.
NETS provides AGM survey and tool tracking support for pipeline operators running in-line inspection programs. Our crews use Trimble GNSS equipment to locate and survey above-ground markers, track tool runs, and stake anomalies for repair crews.
Every deliverable goes through QA/QC review before it leaves our hands.

Common Questions
Common Questions About AGM Surveys & Tool Tracking
What is an AGM survey for pipeline integrity programs?
An AGM survey locates and surveys above-ground markers placed along a pipeline corridor using Trimble GNSS equipment. These surveys are used to support in-line inspection tool tracking and provide the precise location data integrity programs depend on.
What is pig or tool tracking?
Tool tracking monitors the position of an in-line inspection tool as it travels through a pipeline using ELF/Mag receivers. Accurate tool tracking requires properly surveyed AGM placements and experienced crews who know what to look for during a run.
What is anomaly dig staking?
Anomaly dig staking marks the precise GPS location of anomalies identified during in-line inspection, with measurements and site photos provided to guide repair crews to the correct excavation point.
What deliverables does NETS provide after an AGM survey or tool tracking project?
NETS provides written reports, GIS-ready data, site photos, and optional as-built drawings and pipeline profiles. All deliverables are QA/QC reviewed before release.
How does NETS ensure accuracy on AGM Survey and Tool Tracking projects?
We use Trimble GNSS equipment for survey-grade precision and put every deliverable through expert QA/QC review before it reaches the client. Accurate AGM placement and thorough documentation are the two things that keep an ILI program on track.
