          WORLD CLASS TECHNOLOGY
        
        
          Hifi is ready to showcase its HDS technol-
        
        
          ogy performance as indeed world class, can
        
        
          outperform yet complement other alterna-
        
        
          tives and traditional systems, and is ultimately
        
        
          ready to assist the industry in the mission criti-
        
        
          cal path to improved pipeline safety
        
        
          “Hifi has been included in a significant number
        
        
          of head-to-head performance comparisons to
        
        
          other technologies,” says Koles. “What differ-
        
        
          entiates HDS is its fully distributed nature
        
        
          optimized for long distances, it’s extremely high
        
        
          sensitivity, and its high alarm accuracy with the integra-
        
        
          tion of acoustics, temperature and vibration/strain.”
        
        
          A test conduced by C-CORE proved the Hifi HDS system success-
        
        
          fully detected all leaks generated during this testing program, with
        
        
          no false positives in real time—in other words, 100 per cent accuracy.
        
        
          “We believe HDS can help the industry continue to improve safety,
        
        
          and convince all stakeholders that more is being done in terms of
        
        
          investments in new innovation to support this safety.”
        
        
          A lot of other people believe in Hifi, too. Not only endorsed by the
        
        
          biggest players in oil and gas, Hifi has been caught the attention of the
        
        
          Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada,
