Pipelines are the lifelines of our modern infrastructure, transporting vital resources such as oil, gas, and water across vast distances. However, pipeline leaks can have devastating consequences, both for the environment and human safety. To effectively prevent and respond to these incidents, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of pipeline leak detection techniques.

Understanding Pipeline Leaks

Pipeline leaks can occur due to various factors, including corrosion, material defects, ground movements, and external forces. They can range in severity from minor seepage to catastrophic ruptures. Early detection is paramount to minimize the impact of leaks and prevent potential disasters.
