PG&E Installing New Technology to Enhance Pipeline Safety During Seismic Activity

FOSA
FOSA

the first direct pipeline full-length strain profile monitoring in the North American oil and gas industry….With fault lines traversing the length of its service area in Central and Northern California, PG&E has taken many important steps to safeguard its gas system in the event of seismic activity….in partnership with UC Berkeley and Paulsson Incorporation and a grant from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA), PG&E is installing next-generation technology on its gas transmission lines….The technology, distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), has been used in civil engineering infrastructure monitoring for years….Fiber Optic technology is sensitive to changes in temperature, strain, and vibrations, and it provides real-time data

FOSA Presents 2023 Champion of Innovation Award to Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and J.D. Vance (R-OH)

The Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA) announced the winners of its annual Champion of Innovation Award. FOSA selected Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and J.D. Vance (R-OH) based on their extraordinary leadership in the 118th Congress toward enhancing the safety and security of the U.S. rail system. Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), FOSA’s technology focus, is ideally suited to applications in rail where fiber optic cables running parallel to tracks improve safety through detection of pedestrians, monitoring of freight and passenger traffic, and immediate detection and locational pinpointing of both track and rolling stock defects.
