Pipeline networks are the safest and most cost effective mode of transporting gases, oil, water and other fluid products. Pipelines have to maintain high demands of reliability, safety and efficiency due to the long-distance transport required of them. When pipelines are properly maintained, they can last indefinitely without leaks. Regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance can often identify corrosion, particularly at low points where moisture collects, locations of imperfection in the pipes, or at construction joints. Early leak detection can increase system reliability and productivity due to reduced inspection time and downtime. Other and sometimes more significant leaks are often a result of damage from nearby excavation, accidents, possible sabotage or other movement of the earth such as seismic activity or storms and require immediate attention.
Pipeline leak detection is used to determine if and oftentimes where a leak has occurred. The primary purpose of leak detection system is to assist those who control the pipelines localize and detect leaks. There are various methods of detection, including laser technology, infrared and hydrostatic testing.
