PipeGuard is good for: The PipeGuard was find suitable to the following applications: Oil & Gas industry: –Theft –Terror –3 rd party Underground Data transfer highways (buried fiber optics). Tunnels digging detection (prisons)
PipeGuard main Characteristics Non-exposed components.Non-exposed components. preventionDamage prevention by alarming at preparation phase. recognition capabilityInherent recognition capability – of more then 95%. locationAccurate location. all soil typesAll weather all soil types operation. System redundancySystem redundancy. AdaptiveAdaptive to typical local signals and noise. Fits all pipesFits all pipes – from existing and operational to new under construction ones.
Basic logic flow of a “sensing unit” Seismic signature bank Signal analysis = = ALARM message Discard NO YES Output
PipeGuard Uniqueness Geo-Phones) identification capabilityCombination of seismic sensors (Geo-Phones) with an advanced identification capability. autonomousThe Discrete buried sensing units are autonomous. Signal analysis is fully conducted in every unit, thus “Alert message” is forwarded to the control room only when the signal is recognized as “real”. Wireless Communication is based on short range transmission to both neighboring units, and on to the nearest pumping station to avail duplex communication chain. The principal of continuously signal-monitoring enables adaptive performance and time enhancement..
