intelligent pipeline monitoring and repair solution

摘要

A NEW DATA-DRIVEN, sensor-based 'Smart Sleeve' product for use in pipeline maintenance and repairs is under development. The initiative, led by Lloyd's Register (LR) and Western Specialties (WS), will develop and commercialise a novel integrated pipeline repair method, which will be one of the world's first intelligent pipeline monitoring and repair sensing solutions. "We are taking two existing technologies that are currently being used today and merging them into something that can provide insight to operators and regulators on their ageing infrastructure," said Ryan LaVergne, director of Technology from WS, "Taking this proactive approach on monitoring anomalies can help predict what's going on without having to perform future digs as well as give a multitude of data points used in future calculations."
