To date, there
has never been an effective solution for securing buried pipes against damage
caused by terror, sabotage, theft or other third party threats. The company
identified the demand and has implemented a unique technology aimed at meeting
this challenge. PipeGuard provides the solution.
As of end of year 2002, there were an estimated 3 million miles of unprotected
oil and gas pipelines worldwide, out of which 2 million miles were in the
USA alone. Although the need has been strongly recognized by the Oil &
Gas industry for years, and in spite of increasing threats since the 9/11
events and current instability in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle-East, there
is no effective solution for securing buried pipes against damage caused by
terror, sabotage, theft or other third party threats. PipeGuard provides the
solution for securing buried assets, gas and oil pipelines and infrastructure
of buried communication lines such as fiber optic cables, cellular, satellite
or any other communication system
PipeGuard utilizes an innovative and unique technology to guard buried pipelines,
regardless of pipeline length, with the ability to detect potential attack
and alert authorities before potential harm or damage occurs. PipeGuard is
suitable for all pipes, from existing and operational pipelines, to new pipelines
under construction. The system can easily be integrated into a full turnkey
security solution, including perimeter protection, ground or air patrol and
others. By answering the challenge of securing pipelines, We offers a total
security solution for the Oil and Gas industry – from the oil field
to the refinery.

PipeGuard combines
well-proven sensors - geophones, with advanced edge of technology recognition
algorithm capabilities based on the analysis of seismic signals, thus effectively
filtering out false alarms. Using state of the art communications, only predefined
signals are transmitted to the control station.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
1. System performance
should not be affected by muddy or swampy ground. In
Some instances the performance is even enhanced under these conditions.
2. PipeGuard has built in energy supply and communications. If any one of
the
sensing units along the pipeline is located near the command center, the information
will be transferred directly using our communication system. When the command
center is not located adjacent to one of our sensing units, we can transfer
the
information using cellular, satellite or any other communication system.
3. The communication can be integrated in an existing SCADA system. The display
will
be a dedicated PipeGuard monitor.
