Energy and pipelines

Take advantage of wireless remote condition monitoring technology to help manage energy infrastructure including pipelines, processing and storage facilities.

Senceive wireless condition monitoring provides reliable, precise data on movement and other integrity parameters from remote sites. Use it to identify sudden events and long-term trends and ensure your team has access to live data and automated alerts to help prevent safety, environmental or economic incidents.

Five reasons to consider wireless monitoring:

Consider using wireless monitoring technology where:

  1. defects have been found by other data such as in-line pipe inspection, NDT or condition surveys and you need to understand the changing condition of the asset – without frequent site visits
  2. manned access is difficult, expensive or dangerous
  3. structural and ground movement may cause deformation of the pipe or structure
  4. you need to monitor the impact of geohazards and events such as landslides, rockfalls and debris flows from slopes above the asset or washout and loss of support from below
  5. there is potential impact on adjacent infrastructure or activity, such as during construction, e.g. monitoring the impact of construction activity on a pipe or alternatively the impact of building a pipeline near or below other infrastructure such as a road or railway.

What information can remote condition monitoring provide?

Install wireless instrumentation for updates and automated alerts in near real-time relating to:

  • deformation and movement – use precise tilt sensors to measure rotational movement to a precision of 0.0001°
  • structural engineering parameters -use our range of interface nodes to measure strain, load, conductivity, crack movement and more
  • geotechnical parameters such as soil deformation and groundwater pressure with our Vibrating Wire Sensor Node or Millivolt Node
  • near real-time alerts and site photos warning of sudden events using our InfraGuard™ solution

Wireless Monitoring to Manage Pipeline Geohazard Risk

Protecting Pipelines in a Changing Environment: Remote Monitoring of Geo-Hazard Risk

Critical asset monitoring

Wireless sensors can be fixed to most types of material to monitor the condition of critical assets

Monitor ground movement

Changing climatic conditions are making ground conditions unpredictable. Remote monitoring can warn of movement before pipes are damaged.

Safeguard adjacent infrastructure

Use wireless sensors to monitor the impact of pipeline construction on adjacent buildings, roads and railways.
