Engineered to support critical infrastructure, the RAFT integrates a high-performance solar array with intelligent power and control systems, housed in a thermally insulated cabinet built from 316L stainless steel. Their modular design enables scalable 48V/72V configurations, supporting continuous operation of sensors, telemetry, and communication gear. SLB's pipeline integrity monitoring systems—part of the Optiq™ fiber-optic solutions family—enable pipeline operators to perform accurate leak detection and pig tracking while protecting pipelines from third-party intrusions and detecting ground movements, such as earthquakes and subsidence. Such architecture assists decision-making, driven by data and based on intelligent analytics. This report delves into the implementation of IoT solutions for pipeline monitoring, focusing on a detailed case study that illustrates the successful deployment of these technologies for real-time pipeline monitoring and leak detection.

In this paper, various technologies of distributed fiber-optic vibration sensing are reviewed, from interferometric sensing technology, such as Sagnac, Mach–Zehnder, and Michelson, to backscattering-based sensing technology, such as phase-sensitive optical time domain. The fiber optic sensing technology provides data support in structural health monitoring of the macro facilities, including design, construction, and maintenance of bridges, tunnels, ports and other infrastructures. The 3D-Fiber from the SMART series allows precise, non-contact vibration measurements in three dimensions using a single device that integrates multiple functionalities.
