It is estimated that of all bursts that occur on cast iron pipelines, 80% begin as a leak. With little or no monitoring on trunk mains, emergent leaks can gather speed but remain undetected.
Utitilies may choose to inspect their pipelines routinely via varying survey methods however some technologies only create a snap-shot on that given day.
Establishing a longer monitoring period and installing confidence in data collection is key before the pipeline is discounted as having any pre-existing leaks.
Syrinix offers a flexible solution that can be installed for short term deployments from 2-4 weeks, right up to many months or years.
Working in paired units or as a string for longer distances, PIPEMINDER collects acoustic data up to four times daily, automatically assessing pipelines to quickly and accurately understand the integrity of the monitored main and identify and report any new leaks.
The additional collection of high-resolution pressure data identifies pressure transients that could contribute to pipeline fatigue and can even be a cause of emergent leaks.
Using acoustic sensors for enhanced correlation, the data over time builds a detailed picture of the state of the monitored main.
Third-party data imports identify the correlation between pressure events and operational activity
Syrinix helped to deepen the understanding of the impact of transient events within trunk mains.
Syrinix has developed an intelligent low-pressure alarm notification to alert when minimum pressures breach
