MAIN OBJECTIVE

This Small Business Innovative Research project will demonstrate that
distributed fiber optic sensing is a viable and cost-effective means to monitor
ground movement threats to transmission pipelines.

PUBLIC ABSTRACT

The project will monitor those sections of pipelines in potential geohazard
locations and then use the results to (i) gain insights into improving pipeline
risk modeling, and (ii) develop fact-based monitoring solutions in geohazard
prone locations.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

The project developed a fiber-optic based multi-sensor monitoring system
utilizing Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), Distributed Temperature Sensing
(DTS), and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and installed them on two
pipelines and laboratory tested at two locations. The DTS system was tested
using heat tape during and after the installation of the optical cable, and the
system performed very well. The DAS sensor system detected both the calibration
taps and the noise from the gas leak. The DSS did not perform well.
