Industrial Pipelines

Leak and Intrusion Detection for Pipelines

Acoustic leak detection is a powerful solution for industrial pipelines, thanks to the consistent physical principles that govern vibrations in pressurized systems—regardless of the fluid being transported.

Beyond identifying leaks, our technology also detects third-party interference and potential tampering. Advanced algorithms analyse the unique acoustic signatures of different events—such as leaks, excavation, mechanical noise, and machinery—enabling accurate, real-time monitoring of both above and below ground pipelines, 24/7.

Slurry Pipeline Monitoring with distributed acoustic sensing - Terra15

Slurry Pipelines

Slurry pipelines transport abrasive and often chemically active materials that have a tendency to thin pipe walls and present further challenges to the longevity of the pipeline.

Failures can lead to unsafe conditions, unplanned downtime, damage to the environment and financial risk.

Monitoring slurry pipelines with Terra15's distributed sensing solutions guarantees the operator minimised downtime and maximum pipeline efficiency.

Tailings Pipeline Monitoring with distributed acoustic sensing - Terra15

Tailings Pipelines

Tailings pipelines transport hazardous waste materials from processing plants to tailings storage facilities where containment is essential.

Pipeline leakage, nozzle blockage or unmanaged discharge on a tailings storage facility can lead to erosion of embankments and their subsequent weakening, leading to failure in the worst scenario. This represents a significant threat to workers, the public, the environment and continuing operation.

By monitoring these critical assets Terra15 provides operators with real-time information needed to maintain pipeline assets. This in turn helps prevent environmental and financial damages through fines and clean-up costs.

Process pipeline monitoring using distributed acoustic sensing from Terra15

Process Pipelines

Leaks on mine site process pipelines can be costly, damaging to the surrounding area and pose a significant risk to personnel safety and infrastructure.

Monitoring pipelines on site with Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) gives miners the information needed to accurately locate issues and act quickly, allowing for faster response times, reduced maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.

Terra15’s AssureSrv Solution

AssureSrv can help minimise these operational, financial and environmental risks through 24/7 remote monitoring industrial pipelines using the patented Treble distributed acoustic sensing interrogator.

Terra15 provides bespoke solutions tailored to the unique needs of each operator and their pipelines.

Our advanced analytic solution provides real-time state reports and notifications of specific events to the pipeline operator. Giving them a truly diagnostic view of their asset.
