Fiber Optic Leak Detection Benefits:
- Permanent & Real-Time Monitoring
- 10-Second Measuring Frequency
- Leak Detection within Meters
- Non-Intrusive & Hazard Zone Safe
- Increased Asset Reliability and Lifespan
Asset Protection Benefits:
- Identify Damaging Activity Near Pipeline
- Alerts Monitor Potential Security Risks
- Locate & Track Pigs during Deployment
System Alarms Designed with Multiple Leak Triggering Options
Alarms are communicated directly to SCADA, DCS or ESD system via Modbus, OPC or relay contacts.
Options include Absolute or Relative – Min or Max temperature threshold, rate of change and deviation from baseline among others.
Flexible Cable Placement and Attachment Methods
Our installation services are custom designed for each application.
Cable for new trenched pipelines can be strapped to or laid up to 12″ from. For Vessels, cable can be attached via magnets, straps or blankets. Utility Ducts and Conduits can be cable blown, pumped or pulled into.
State-of-the-Art Operations Personnel and Technicians
All our installations are directed by trained FiOPS technicians and crew members.
Our FiOPS personnel work with construction crews and contractors during installation, we test cable before and after installations, commission all equipment and train personal on correct operation and maintenance.
