My skills are more in the technical arena. However, you may have already discovered that protecting a pipeline or pump facility is a man power intensive operation. In Iraq and other places they have used a variety of technologies and man power arrangements to secure the pipelines.Originally Posted by Richard W
In my case I was asked about how hard it would be to layer on the flow/pump sensor systems another sensor network that would direct wireless cameras at any activity along the length of the pipe. The sensors could detect whether it was a person or vehicle approaching and if it was interacting with the pipeline (like service).
My team designed a solution to the requirements and the customer seemed to be quite happy.
Protecting an asset that may have a foot print that is a 100 yards wide and hundreds of miles long has special issues.
