DITEST-AIM - Assets Integrity Monitoring Solution

The DITEST-AIM uses distributed temperature and strain for the monitoring of leakage, ground movements and intrusion in several applications and industries.

DITEST-AIM features & benefits:

The DITEST-AIM combines DITEST measuring technique with dedicated sensing cable, data processing, user-friendly interface and application oriented visualization tools.

 
  • Uninterrupted monitoring with 1 meter localization capabilities
  • Very long distance monitoring capabilities; up to 250 km with single instrument allowing the monitoring of remote areas.
  • Permanent continuous monitoring with the automatic detection of abnormal conditions and interface with third party’ systems.

DITEST-AIM - system Components

measuring system

DITEST-AIM integrates OMNISENS core sensing technology DITEST-STA optimized for long distance monitoring applications with extensive application know-how and field experience.

DITEST-STA
  • Monitoring distance : > 30 km per sensor
  • Operates with standard singlemode optical fibers
  • Spatial resolution : 1 m (*)
  • Temperature resolution : < 0.5°C (*)
  • Strain resolution : < 10 microstrain (*)
  • Optical loss budget : >10 dB (*)

(*) Temperature or strain resolution, spatial resolution, distance range and acquisition time are inter-related. See DITEST datasheet or technical note for more information about performance specifications.

Ground movement - fiber optic cable

FO sensors

Geotechnical Monitoring Optical Fiber Cable
The GTMS OFC is a robust fiber optic cable dedicated to the detection of ground movement. It integrates rodent protection and it is compatible with direct burial or deployement along road and railways. It can also be used for pipeline third party intrusion detection along buried pipeline.

Leackage detection - fiber optic cable

FO sensors

Leakage Detection Optical Fiber Cable
The LDS OFC can accommodate up to 8 fibers. It is a robust cable suitable for direct burial as it integrates rodent protection. The cable includes the optical fibers used for temperature monitoring as well as fibers for data communication between the instruments and the control room.

Project Engineering

In each project, Omnisens in collaboration with its solution providers offers project management, specific design specifications with respect to project requirements, complete documentation and implementation plan, installation drawings, training, commissioning and deployment capabilities.

Additional System components

Depending on the project requirements, cabinet, uninterrupted power supplies, batteries, patch panels,
SO-N-2 optical switch modules, data server, can be provided as additional system components.

DRM / DRR / DRRM

DITEST-STA Distributed temperature and strain distributed sensing

Distance range extension (DRR) and Remote Measurement (DRM) modules
The DRR/DRM/DRRM DITEST modules are designed to extend the monitoring capabilities of the DITEST-STA measuring unit, enabling more than 250 km of monitoring distance without compromising on the measurement performances.

The DRR/DRM/DRRM DITEST modules can integrate multiple channel capabilities and are remotely controlled by the DITEST-STA unit via the integration of a dedicated DRM channel to the measuring unit.

Applications

The DITEST-AIM solution is designed to offer turnkey solutions for pipeline integrity monitoring, ground movement detection and roads & railways infrastructure monitoring.

Pipeline integrity monitoring including detection and localization of leakage and ground movement as well as third party intrusion on burried pipelines.
Road & railways infrastructure monitoring
Ground movement and landslides detection and localization
