Gas Pipeline Valve Chamber Protection with Zone-Based Fiber Optic PIDS

Gas pipeline infrastructure often spans vast, remote regions where securing critical assets such as valve chambers is essential to preventing vandalism, theft, and operational disruption.

For the Qingning gas pipeline in China, covering over 500 km across multiple regions, Bandweaver delivered a zone-based perimeter intrusion detection solution to protect distributed valve chamber sites.

Using ZoneSentry fiber optic sensing technology, each site was divided into multiple detection zones, enabling operators to identify exactly where an intrusion occurs. The system continuously monitors fence lines for activity such as climbing, cutting, or tampering, while configurable sensitivity settings minimise nuisance alarms in varying environments.

Integrated with Bandweaver’s MaxView platform, the solution provides real-time visibility across all locations, allowing operators to quickly assess and respond to potential threats.

The result is a scalable, low-maintenance security solution that delivers early detection, full perimeter coverage, and improved protection for critical pipeline infrastructure.
