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
