This report presents an evaluation of current and future technologies for the detection of actual or impending third-party damage to operating gas pipelines. With regard to current technologies, the report presents the results of a field test of an acoustic sensor and related signal monitoring and conditioning scheme. With reference to alternative as well as future schemes, the report addresses the following: a survey of pipeline monitoring needs and views of the gas transmission industry by phone and personal contacts; a review and critique of existing pipeline monitoring methods, including those available in Europe and Japan; a synoptic survey of military and intelligence technologies applicable to the pipeline monitoring problem. Finally, the report summarizes the principles of acoustic wave propagation in buried pipelines and provides a bibliography of the literature on pipeline monitoring as appendices.
