Single Wall, Buried Pipelines on Airport

The danger of environmental contamination and the potential repair costs of an undetected fuel leak along an airport kerosene pipeline can be astronomical.

To reduce this risk of environmental contamination, TraceTek monitors hundreds to thousands of meters of single wall buried pipelines and provides the exact location of any developing small leaks.

An interface to the monitoring control center or BMS receives the notification and displays the distance to the leak.
The exact location allows quick reaction whilst the leak is still small, helping to prevent larger spills.

Under streets or other barriers it is installed in a coated pipe.

Components

TraceTek TT5000 Sensing Cable installed inside slotted PVC conduit along side a single wall buried pipeline can detect a small fuel leak and identify the location with pinpoint accuracy. Traces of any fuel leakage are drawn into the conduit by capillary action and contact the sensing cable for detection and location of the leak.
