Pipeline monitoring

Pipelines fail quietly. A slow leak or a creeping pressure drop can run for days before anyone notices — and by then the damage, and the bill, have already grown. This project put a nervous system on the pipeline, so problems announce themselves the moment they start.

What we built

We deployed a network of battery-powered sensor nodes along the line, each reading pressure and flow and reporting over a long-range radio link. The nodes run their own local checks, so a dangerous reading raises an alert even when the connection to the cloud is down.

Readings stream into a time-series store and surface on a live dashboard: current state at a glance, history on demand, and alerts routed to the people who can act on them.

Why it matters

• Sensing that survives the field — long battery life, long-range radio, and local decision-making keep the system working where power and connectivity are unreliable.
• Decisions, not just data — thresholds and anomaly detection turn a firehose of readings into a short list of things worth a person's attention.

The cheapest leak to fix is the one you catch in the first minute.
