Buried Pipeline Security Detection

 

 

 

SENSEPIPE Security System

 

 

A Unique tool for Pipeline Security

Vsense Technologies Ltd together with Rafael market the HPG system which is a state-of-the-art field proven oil, gas and water pipeline protection system.

HPG is a passive system which employs an array of sensors to detect, identify and locate seismic sound waves created by different activities through soil and other medias, on and under the ground, on the pipeline and in its vicinity. The system provides valuable early warning while maintaining maximum sensitivity and prevents nuisance alarms.

 

 

Capabilities & Main Features

·        Versatility in data analysis and operation

·        Automatic detection, collection, measurement, identification and localization of activities on the pipeline and in its vicinity

·        Modular and flexible configuration enables compatibility with different security definitions and requirements

·        Data link communication to remote command and control center

·        Adjustable security policy implementation

 

Useful Handling of Threats

·        Vast threat and hazard library:

·        Third party activity – Terror, criminal acts, man caused accidents

·        Natural hazards - Earthquakes wind and fire

·        Mechanical failure - Metal fatigue, corrosion, general malfunctions

·        Operator errors

·        Highly flexible in defining new threats

·        Reliable threat sorting and identification

·        High-resolution terrestrial localization

·        Threat & activity detection on the pipeline and in its vicinity for surface and subsurface intrusions

 

Patented Algorithms for Best Performance

·        Analysis of seismic and acoustic signals to distinguish “acoustic signatures” of threats

·        Unique signal processing and decoding of patented algorithms enable the system to distinguish between different events

·        Patented algorithms to overcome ambiguity, multi-path, interference and outliers elimination

·        High Probability of Intercept (POI)

 

Installation and Maintenance

·        Mainly COTS items – Sensors, Cables and Signal processing

·        Can be easily added to existing security systems to extend detection range and threat spectrum

·        Easily upgradeable through software

·        Passive components requiring low/no maintenance

·        Low power requirement

Security policy

Customer tailored

 

The HPG system derivative for strategic facility security is the HPS Perimeter Security System. The system provides full real time control of activities around the perimeter, enabling protection of enclosed perimeters against illegal entry or exit. The system detects unauthorized activities on and underground, such as walking, digging and crawling.

 

Protects strategic areas

·        Adds an underground layer of protection

·        Warns against unauthorized entry or exiting

·        Applicable to strategic facilities, oil refineries, power plants, airports, safe rooms, vaults, bunkers, prisons, tank farms, bridges, camps, etc

·        Significantly reduces false alarm rate

 

 

Main Features

·        Pinpoints the threats at an early stage including the recognition and classification of the threats before they become a problem

·        Quick and accurate response, in order to deal with the problem efficiently

·        Detects driving, walking, digging, tunnelling, drilling, leaks and other activities

 

Immediately and effectively alarms the security forces and directs them to the event location.
