FOGrid is Sensor Lines’ solution for cable integrity monitoring. By combining our advanced distributed fiber optic sensing technologies and our software suite with dedicated algorithms, it enables to:
FOGrid is Sensor lines’ comprehensive and easy to deploy solution to ensure a continuous real-time monitoring of the integrity of buried or overhead cables, whether offshore or onshore.
Sensor Lines’ distributed fiber optic sensing devices use a single mode optical fiber already present in the cable. Based on reflectometry, Sensor Lines interrogators only need to be connected to one end of the fiber. This way, the deployment of our cable monitoring solution is simplified.
Our interrogators address long distances (several tens of kilometers) while providing spatially continuous measurements. By coupling with our REM (Range Extension Module), the range increases and investments are optimized as less interrogators are required for complete cable network coverage. Additionally, if a break occurs in the fiber length, measurements are taken up to the point of breakage.
Our devices Sensor lines A1 (Rayleigh, DAS – Distributed Acoustic Sensing), and Sensor Lines G1-R (Brillouin, DTS – Distributed Temperature Sensing) provide with precise, reliable, and accurately localized data.
Continuous monitoring over the entire length of the cables is ensured.
All threats are detected, irrelevant alerts are ignored and production losses are minimized.
Maintenance costs are optimized.
All distances are covered, thus optimizing both CAPEX and OPEX.
Our solution is fully compatible with any supervision system.
A quick response is provided.
The availability of Sensor lines' devices is optimized.
The quality of our products, services and support is recognized.
Recognition of our commitment to implementing and complying with a global environmental management system.
The project runs in an atmosphere of serenity.
FOGrid, a distributed fiber optic sensing solution for cable monitoring, offers integrity control of a power cable during its deployment and all along its operation. Any failure or risk occuring on or near the cable is detected in real-time: suspicious temperature changes, third-party intrusion, cable strain. An alert with the precise location and nature of the event is generated. The cable lifespan is optimized.
Sensor lines’ telecom cable monitoring solution performs continuous spatial and temporal measurements and provides real-time accurate data on the cable fatigue, its potential optical losses, and third-party intrusions. Any failure is quickly detected to promptly initiate a maintenance operation.
The FOGrid solution from Sensor lines enables real-time and continuous detection of cables partial discharges. An alert is instantaneously generated, indicating the precise location of the incident on a geolocated map.
Cables can be an environmental monitoring tool. FOGrid, a cable monitoring solution, provides information on temperature changes, seismic activity and underwater acoustics. These data help to better understand our environment.
Based on our interrogators state-of-the-art performance and dedicated algorithms, FOGrid is a solution for monitoring and estimating fatigue and temperature of dynamic cables. The lifespan of these sensitive and critical parts is optimized.
FOGrid allows coupling of cable integrity monitoring with RTTR (Real-Time Thermal Rating). This advanced modeling technique provides key information on the cable to estimate its maximum electrical load threshold above which it may be damaged.
