The Integrated Monitoring System
The Cornegliano Laudense Storage Integrated Monitoring System is the infrastructure built to detect seismic events and ground deformation at the “Cornegliano Stoccaggio” natural gas storage concession.
Seismic monitoring is carried out through a dedicated network of seismometers, the Cornegliano Laudense Seismic Network (RSCL). Geodetic monitoring is carried out through satellite data analysis (DInSAR analysis) and geodetic surveys (GNSS-GPS stations).
The integrated monitoring is managed by the monitoring structure (SPM) consisting of:
- the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics - OGS (Scientific Section of the Seismological Research Centre - CRS);
- the Institute for Electromagnetic Detection of the Environment - IREA-CNR.
These scientific institutions have created infrastructure dedicated to monitoring and maintaining, respectively, the OGS seismic monitoring, GNSS station and IREA-CNR DInSAR processing.
The integrated monitoring system was established on behalf of the owner of the Cornegliano Laudense gas storage concession, IGS S.p.A, which has voluntarily adhered, in the absence of legal obligations, to the criteria indicated in the Addresses and Guidelines for monitoring geo-activities issued by the Ministry of Economic Development (MiSE), Directorate DGS-UNMIG.
