RaySense TPI and Digging Detection

RaySense TPI and Digging Detection for Cable Theft Prevention

 

RaySense TPI provides robust, real-time underground monitoring for pipeline security, digging detection, and cable theft prevention, with features including:

 

Comprehensive Detection

  • Multi-threat Detection: Identifies third-party interference, digging, and theft attempts with minimal false alarms.
  • High Accuracy: Offers precise intrusion detection across extensive coverage, supporting up to 50km per APU with a ±10m pinpoint location.
  • Passive Operation: No field electronics or power, reducing maintenance needs.
  • Remote Monitoring: IP-based control integrates with third-party systems for efficient remote management and alerting capabilities.

With its long fiber optic monitoring capabilities, RaySense provides 100% coverage for long-range applications with no gaps between sensors; the cable is the sensor.

 

The pipeline TPI detection capability is based on acoustics, which allows the cable to detect manual or mechanical digging without any physical movement. It can be buried in any ground or soil and detect digging to prevent theft.

 

Distributed Vibration Sensor (DVS) Pipeline and Cable Protection Systems are effective in the prevention of oil spills and/or gas explosions due to their unique ability to detect, locate and classify vibrations caused by physical activity (such as third-party interference – TPI) along the entire length of the pipeline in real time.  It is also capable of early detection and location of dynamic geological hazards, such as landslides or excavating activity (by equipment or hand) anywhere near a pipeline and, in many cases, before the excavating operation within the right-of-way.

 

The RBtec RaySense Fiber Optic Perimeter Fence Security System is a cost-effective, interference-resistant sensor for securing long infrastructure and fiber cables. Designed for rapid installation, it uses cutting-edge AI to detect threats with high precision while minimizing false alarms. Its unique all-fiber optic setup eliminates electronic components, making it highly reliable in various weather conditions and requiring minimal maintenance. Tailored for scalability, it can adapt to extensive perimeters, offering advanced perimeter security for diverse applications.

Return on your investment.

The system utilizes fiber-optic cable, making it the most economically competitive technology currently available for long distances. Requiring only a single alarm processing unit (APU) to cover up to 100km/62 Miles of cable, combined with a rugged fiber-optic sensing cable, is the most cost-effective solution for large perimeters.
In some applications, the RaySense system can utilize the pre-existing communication cable for detection.

Applications:

  • Communication cables
  • Crude oil pipelines
  • Refined product lines – gasoline, fuel, chemicals
  • Gas pipelines
  • Water pipelines
  • Underground power
    Or any pipeline that needs protection
