District heating digital leak detection:

A guide to remote monitoring of loop and insulation resistance for pipelines

Details

Maintaining the integrity of district heating networks is a constant challenge. Pipelines are prone to leaks and excavation damage, yet traditional manual inspections are often labor-intensive and infrequent. This creates data gaps that lead to reactive maintenance and higher costs.

In this brochure, you will find a detailed explanation of how to digitize this process. It covers the technical architecture of remote monitoring, from the sensor placement to the Asset Monitoring Platform (AMP). You will learn how to transition from preventive to condition-based maintenance.
