Fiber Optic Sensing

Features: The Praetorian Conveyor Health Monitoring System (CHMS) is a plant & site-wide single solution for detecting when critical parts of the idler are beginning to fail. The early detection warnings allow operators to control downtime and avoid catastrophic costly unplanned shutdowns. HAWK’s Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing detects abnormalities in conveyor idler performance that other technologies cannot.
• Proven ROI by predicting breakages and failure BEFORE occurring
• Immune to the effects of a broken or cut fiber
• System is passive, no electricity is required in the field
• Self-diagnostics monitor the unitÍs condition and maintain optimum performance
• No maintenance or calibration require after commissioning
• Monitor up at 80km (50mi) at the same time.
• 24/7 real-time monitoring
Industries:
• Coal mines, hazardous area suitable (no infield electronics)
• Hard rock mines
• Quarries
• Buildings
• Unmanned material handling facilities
• Processing plant conveyors

Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing for Perimeter Security and Threat Detection
Hawk MeasurementFeatures: The Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing System can be installed along a fence or perimeter and can detect, identify and report any movements. This system has limitless applications and can be installed on anything from explosive storage areas to farms and ranches. The fast processing speed and pulse rate allow the Fiber Optic System to detect minute interferences that may otherwise go unnoticed. Some examples of detectable activates include intruder movement along a perimeter, intruders cutting or climbing a fence, vehicle movement along a perimeter, and digging, excavating, or trenching. The Fiber Optic Sensing system is crucial for keeping valuable assets secure and protected.
• No time splicing, allowing zero chance for an intruder to go unnoticed
• Immune to the effects of a broken or cut fiber
• Fiber optic sensing detects the exact location of the intruder
• Self-diagnostics monitor the unitÍs condition and maintain optimum performance
• No maintenance or calibration require after commissioning
• Monitor up at 80km (50mi) at the same time.
• 24/7 real-time monitoring
Industries:
• Army barracks
• Airports
• Prisons
• Explosive storage areas
• Country borders
• Hazardous areas
• Unmanned sites

Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing for Pipeline Monitoring and Leak Detection
Hawk MeasurementFeatures: The Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing System can be installed on a buried or unburied pipeline and can immediately detect pipeline leakage, ground disturbances, manual and machine excavation, theft, hot tapping, and vehicle movement. The Fiber Optic System continually monitors large spans of the pipeline, looking for vibration and temperature changes. Once detection occurs, the system alerts the operator or security personal to the exact location of disturbance in the pipeline. This type of real-time intelligent monitoring is critical to operating efficiently and protecting valuable assets.
• Praetorian can function on applications where either the product is invisible (gas) or the pipeline cannot be visually inspected (buried).
• Immune to the effects of a broken or cut fiber
• Fiber optic sensing detects not only the presence of the leak but its specific location.
• Self-diagnostics monitor the unitÍs condition and maintain optimum performance
• No maintenance or calibration require after commissioning
• Monitor up at 80km (50mi) at the same time.
• 24/7 real-time monitoring
Industries:
• Oil (Crude or refined)
• Gas (any type)
• Chemical
• Mining tailings
• Water/wastewater
• Brine
• Slurries
• Steam

Features: The Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing System can monitor buried and unburied data cables, wires, and power transmission lines. Monitoring for wear, damage, or corrosion of the cable is extremely difficult and often power failure or data outage is the first sign of a problem. These cables are typically installed in areas that have multiple uses by various stakeholders and in the event of a failure can be logistically difficult and expensive to access for repair. The Praetorian Fiber Optic Sensing System can be installed either near the power cables or embedded within the power cable itself. It can monitor disturbances, identify manual and machine excavation, vehicle movement, ground condition assessment, and detects hotspots. HAWK’s Fiber Optic Sensing System requires no additional field infrastructure such as power or communication and does not require maintenance or calibration after commissioning.
