PipeSense<\/span>, a U.S.-based developer of pipeline monitoring solutions, announced the official launch of PipeTrack, a new sensor and signal-processing system designed to provide real-time visibility into pipeline pigging operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The technology aims to replace traditional tracking methodologies, such as Above Ground Markers (AGM), acoustic monitoring, and manual spot checks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike these conventional methods, which often require personnel to be stationed at various intervals above the pipeline, PipeTrack utilizes a series of pressure sensors installed at small-bore branch locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

By integrating established leak detection software with AI-enabled data analysis, the system monitors pressure pulses generated as a “pig”\u2014a device used for cleaning or inspecting the interior of a line\u2014moves through the pipe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This allows operators to determine the tool\u2019s average speed and precise location from a remote, bespoke dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stuart Mitchell, President and Chief Technology Officer at PipeSense, said the industry has long relied on outdated and ineffective tracking processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Operators have long been overdue a solution that shakes up pig-tracking and meets the modern demands of the industry,” Mitchell said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“PipeTrack will help empower the industry with a field-proven and reliable solution that transforms time-consuming and resource-heavy manual efforts into an adept platform that offers live feedback.”<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the company, early field trials indicate that the system can reduce operational downtime and minimize personnel exposure in hazardous environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

By maintaining a continuous view of the pig from within the pipeline, the technology addresses common safety challenges posed by lost or stuck equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

PipeSense, a subsidiary of pipeline construction specialist Charps, developed the hardware and software in-house over the last two years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s engineering team focused on creating a “set-and-forget” installation process that eliminates the need for…<\/span><\/p>\n
