Water network monitoring system
Detecting and geolocating leaks, Negative Pressure Waves, water shockwaves, implementing preventive maintenance is essential to prevent water networks from any damages.
FOPipe, a solution for monitoring drinking water pipelines, is the perfect combination of patented FEBUS Optics measuring devices and our proprietary software solution, FOPipe Suite.
FOPipe relies on distributed fiber optic sensing technology to ensure real-time and continuous monitoring of the integrity of water pipelines.
LEAK DETECTION IN A DRINKING WATER NETWORK
A leak in a water pipeline requires swift intervention. This type of failure is critical as it can endanger the distribution system and have environmental impacts.
The FOPipe solution relies on distributed fiber optic sensing technology and our software development expertise. Any failure in the pipeline network is detected in real-time and continuously. An alert is instantly generated, accurately indicating the location of the event.

MONITORING OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE WAVES
The FOPipe solution is based on the performance of our interrogators and software to provide complete monitoring of water networks.
Our devices perform acoustic, temperature, and strain measurements over long distances. In addition to acoustic and temperature data, and to ensure complete monitoring of the integrity of the drinking water pipeline network, the FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) detects Negative Pressure Waves.

All types of leaks or events such as the shutdown of an engine, for example, are thus identified and notified in real-time.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF PIPELINES
Our FOPipe solution enables the monitoring of the proper functioning of various motorized equipments in the network, such as compressors.

The FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing), by conducting vibrational measurements, records te acoustic signals of the devices. Any suspicious variation is detected in real-time and notified by our FOPipe Suite software solution:
- a maintenance or preventive solution is implemented within shorten timeframes
- production is optimized
- maintenance costs are reduced.
OTHER FEBUS OPTICS PIPELINE MONITORING SOLUTIONS
The FEBUS technologies, our expertise, and the support from our teams allow to monitor the integrity of various types of pipelines, such as wastewater networks or oil and gas pipelines.
Our FOPipe solution offers complete, continuous, and real-time monitoring of the entire pipeline by also detecting third-party intrusions near the pipelines.
Finally, FEBUS Optics experts are available to operational teams for training and support throughout their entire projects. Our interrogators come with a 3-year warranty, and we offer personalized maintenance contracts and service continuity.
