Pipeline Monitoring & Leak Detection

Leak detection is judged on how small a loss it can find and how quickly, so the method is matched to the line, the product and the consequence of a release rather than selected on capability alone. Alarms are tuned against normal operating variation to keep false alarms from eroding trust in the system.

Typical scope: leak detection system selection and installation; flow and pressure based monitoring; acoustic and fibre optic methods where suited; alarm threshold setting against operating variation; system testing and verification; monitoring, response procedures and operator training.
