TERRA SONIC - Pipeline Integrity Monitoring System

Rafael’s Terra Sonic is an operational, field-proven monitoring and protection system for oil
pipelines. It is a passive system employing an array of sensors to detect, classify and localize
seismic sound waves propagated through the pipe and/or he oil. These sound waves are generated
occurrences or vents such as hitting, digging, leaks, and third-party action in or near the pipeline
and its vicinity. The system provides valuable early warning while maintaining maximum sensitivity
and minimizing nuisance alarms.

Terra Sonic uses patented algorithms and unique signal processing or analyze seismic and acoustic
signals. The algorithms enable the system to distinguish between different events. These algorithms
make it possible to overcome ambiguity, multi-event interference and provide high probability of
interception. The system provides automatic detection, classification, and localization of activities in
the vicinity of the pipeline including digging, hits to the pipe and leaks.
The system’s modularity offers the capability to satisfy varied security policies and requirements.
