Wireless Monitoring to Manage Pipeline Geohazard Risk

Protecting pipelines in a changing environment

Long term environmental changes such as deformation of the ground but also sudden environmental events like landslides, flooding and soil erosion can have a detrimental effect on pipelines.

Pipelines are often in locations that are remote and vulnerable.

Watch the explainer video and discover how can we gain data to mitigate geohazard risks.

Simon Brightwell explains how wireless monitoring systems work and what they can measure, including the Senceive InfraGuard system which is capable of detecting incremental movement and sudden events.   This system not only tells you what’s going on with your pipeline assets with near real-time alerts, this intelligent system also triggers site photos with a 4G camera.
