The Pir Panjal railway tunnel is India's longest (and Asia's third-longest), at
11.2 km. It runs through the rugged and remote Himalayan mountain range in
northern India. When your tunnel infrastructure is this long and located in a
remote mountain range high in the Himalayas, you need a Distributed Temperature
Sensing (DTS) solution that you can depend on.


HISTORICAL PALACES FIRE DETECTION KOREA UPDATED CASE

Namdaemun, which is officially known as Sungyemun (meaning “Gate of Exalted
Ceremonies”), is one of the Eight Gates of the fortress wall of Seoul, South
Korea, which dates back to the 14th century. Following a devastating fire in
2008, it was decided to install AP Sensing’s Linear Heat Series solution to
protect this national treasure.


HELSINKI METRO RAIL AND AIRPORT UPDATED CASE

Four metro stations and their connecting tunnels within the 42-acre Vantaa

FIRE TESTS IN THE EINHORN TUNNEL GERMANY JUNE 2014

Major fire detection tests were carried out in the Einhorn Tunnel in Germany.
Participants included the fire department and officials from the road
construction and tunnel operator teams. Eleven controlled fire tests were
designed to stringently test the tunnel itself, AP Sensing’s Linear Heat
Detection system, and the smoke extraction system. The fiber-optic based Linear
Heat Series from AP Sensing played a decisive role in all of the tests. In every
test the detection time was lower than the Guideline requirements.


FLOATING ROOF TANK FIRE DETECTION RIYADH MAY 2012

AP Sensing provided the Riyadh Power Company with a floating roof tank fire
detection solution. The Riyadh Power Company in Saudi Arabia has 5 floating-roof
oil tanks for which they wanted a state-of-the-art fire monitoring and fire
detection system. Each tank is 30 m high and has a diameter of 30 m. Working
together with the local partner Tyco, AP Sensing was selected for their Linear
Heat Series solution.


COAL STOCK HEAT DETECTION SPAIN UPDATED CASE

One of the most innovative bulk handling facilities has been undertaken in
Spain. “La Medusa”, a coal storage facility that was built at Puerto A Coruna.
Operated by Union Fenosa, not only does this enclosed coal handling facility
achieve zero dust emission, but the structure itself is architecturally
pleasing. Due to its impressive design, the plant is called “la Medusa” which
means “the jellyfish”.

 


BELOW BALLAST SCAN (BBS) IN ACTION - A CASE STUDY COMPILATION

The BBS solution analyses vast amounts of DAS data to generate a 2D shear wave
velocity profile under the track, indicating the condition and properties of the
subsurface. Shear waves propagate faster through harder material and slower
through weak layers, such as cavities or sinkholes; thusly, abnormal shear wave
behaviour is a direct indicator of danger zones, that shall be evaluated.

AP SENSING OFFERS COMPLEMENTARY SENSING TECHNOLOGIES

for various markets and specific requirements

LHD

A Linear Heat Detection (LHD) system uses a fiber optic sensor cable to measure
the temperature at every point along the entire cable, detecting changes in
temperature and hotspots along an entire asset. This technology detects hotspots
and fires, alarming quickly and providing precise information on fire location,
size and spread.

DTS

DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) measures the temperature along an optical
fiber, every meter, over many kilometers. This results in an accurate and
continuous temperature profile along the sensor cable (1000 temperature points
per kilometer).
More...

DAS AND DVS

DAS (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) and DVS (Distributed Vibration Sensing)
systems detect vibrations and capture acoustic energy along the optical fiber.
The fiber functions as if there were thousands of microphones installed.
Classification algorithms are used to detect and locate, for example, intrusion
activities.
