          “By complementing conventional
        
        
          leak detection systems, HDS provides
        
        
          a solution to space and time where
        
        
          historical approaches may not be able
        
        
          to detect a leak at the right location
        
        
          or right time,” says Koles. “HDS senses
        
        
          every centimeter of the asset in high
        
        
          fidelity, using the speed of light on a
        
        
          24x7 basis, allowing the technology
        
        
          to provide information back to the
        
        
          pipeline operator on exactly where
        
        
          and exactly when an event such as a
        
        
          leak has been detected.”
        
        
          “It can be used for preventative leak
        
        
          detection in pipelines, by determining
        
        
          the exact location and the exact time
        
        
          of an incident such as pipeline leak,
        
        
          or other abnormality such as security
        
        
          intrusion, or a geotechnical event like
        
        
          an earthquake,” says Hull.
        
        
          “Our integrated HDS system —
        
        
          which combines sound, vibration
        
        
          and temperature data—differentiates
        
        
          us from acoustic-only sensors and
        
        
          temperature-only sensors.”
