Safer energy environment. Real-time detection of mechanical impact on buried pipelines.
About Spade Integrity
SPADE is a revolutionary technology for providing real-time information to operators about their buried metallic pipelines – A valuable solution for real-time detection of mechanical impact and illegal tapping. It is installed at cathodic protection rectifiers without excavation or modification to existing installations.
A patented technology – reliable, simple to implement and cost-efficient.
An integrated system acquiring cathodic protection parameters.
An alarm is triggered as warranted by data locally processed using SPADE technology. The same power supply is used for the SPADE technology and for the rectifier.
Alarms are transmitted via GSM, satellite, IoT… SPADE can interface with any existing remote transmission system.
Alarms can be transmitted anytime, anywhere and to any authorized party.
The SPADE team has more than 30 years of proven expertise in mitigating stray currents, AC/DC. Diagnosis and appropriate remedies can be implemented before installing SPADE technology on sites exposed to stray currents.
SPADE real-time detection of mechanical threats can be complemented by video surveillance using in-situ autonomous UAVs, which are automatically launched when an alarm is triggered.
