Overview

The concept

Two net layers of different densities above the protected asset, with a fibre-optic line beneath them that picks up vibration, locates any impact and sends a notification to the control room.

Proposed purpose

To study combining physical protection with sensing and monitoring above sensitive equipment.

Introductory details

Applications, components and considerations

Potential applications

■  Compressors and pumps

■  Transformers and electrical equipment

■  Small, high-priority assets

Components (overview level)

■  Upper wide-mesh net layer

■  Finer lower layer

■  Distributed fibre-optic sensing line

■  Interrogator unit outside the hazardous area

■  Galvanised steel or GFRP posts

Integration & maintenance

■  Signals linked to SCADA or the security management system

■  Calibration to reduce false alarms

■  Removable side panels for asset access

■  Periodic checks of layers and fibre

Note: Images and models are conceptual visualisations for presentation and development purposes. Any actual application is subject to engineering study, testing and the required approvals.

Discuss this concept for your project

The concept serves as a starting point for discussion; the suitable solution is defined after a site study, testing and the necessary approvals.
