This morning the municipal administration of Stigliano met a delegation of Italgas, concessionaire company of the service of distribution of natural gas city.<\/p>\n
The initiative aimed to illustrate the operational methods adopted by the company in the operation of the city network, with particular reference to pipeline monitoring techniques.<\/p>\n
Specifically, Italgas presented Optosensing, a cutting-edge technology that allows, through the application of two optical fiber sensors on the pipeline, to monitor in real time any change in the position and\/or temperature of the laid network which may be caused, for example, by geological movements or neighbouring activities on the territory.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the Optosensing system, it is possible to optimize maintenance operations and know in real time the status of each pipe segment.<\/p>\n
In addition, thanks to the installation of equipment on buildings, it is possible to monitor even the smallest movements that the same houses can suffer due to landslides.<\/p>\n
So, double security, for the network and for real estate.<\/p>\n
Italgas has put into operation the first section of network equipped with Optosensing technology in the national territory in December 2023, thus giving the start to a continuous and even more punctual monitoring activity of the infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The data collected by the system may be made available to the Entities for research purposes, as well as as a further contribution to improve monitoring of the territory.<\/p>\n
