Pipeline Integrity Systems

With an unrivalled portfolio in the pipeline sector, Optilan is widely recognised as the world leader in the deployment of pipeline integrity monitoring solutions. To date, we’ve installed over 12,000 km of pipeline monitoring solutions as far afield as the Middle East, India, Turkey, Russia and Europe.

Optilan provide an integrated approach to the engineering, supply and life cycle optimisation of pipeline assets, tailored to meet the evolving needs of pipeline systems globally. Technological expertise, field experience and advanced capabilities help our customers meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, and enhance the safety, productivity and life of their asset.

Also, as an independent integrator, we’re primed to apply class-leading technologies to suit every application.

Fibre optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) can be deployed to provide intrusion detection, leak detection, environmental monitoring and inspection gauge (scrapper) tracking. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) can use the fibre infrastructure for cryogenic leak and process monitoring.

We also integrate these external monitoring systems with internal solutions, such as volume mass balance, computational or negative pressure pulse systems to create a full picture of the asset.

Having the ability to combine technologies and integrate these with supporting capabilities such as SCADA, CCTV and drones through the communication infrastructure, gives you peace of mind that your asset is safe and secure – no matter whether your product is liquid, gas or multi phase.

Our pipeline integrity systems can secure assets with:
