Watchdog
System
Watchdog,
which currently has patents pending, is designed to help
energy companies monitor important status and performance parameters
related to their remote pipeline operations without leaving their
office. Watchdog has three primary functions - transmitting weekly or
monthly:
- Pipe/soil potentials
- Monitoring pipeline pigs
- Reporting that pipeline damage has occurred.
By using Watchdog
to obtain this important information, energy
companies
can save
substantial revenues by increasing efficiency, while improving
the safety of
their valuable assets.

How often have we seen
pipeline technicians running
from road
crossing to road
crossing to monitor the passage of pipeline pigs?
Watchdog allows
operators to remain at their stations and watch the
passage of pigs
on their computer screens. The author has actually
witnessed 32
technicians in five vehicles attempting to listen for the
passage of pigs
at road crossings.
It is not until pipeline operators run either a
conventional pig or
an inspection pig
that they find damage to the pipe or the external
pipeline coatings
that relate to corrosive elements attacking the
pipeline. One
major problem in many countries, is third party
illegal tapping.
It is only when it is noticed that receipts fall below
the level that
has been pumped, that operators either know that they
have a leak or
that someone has tapped into the line. Watchdog is able
to detect both
the sound and vibration of such an event and immediatel
alert operations
personnel. More details
