Many oil and gas pipelines running across North America are old. As a result material failure and corrosion have turned out to be major causes of leakage. This can cause both financial losses and goodwill or reputation.
An increase in oil and gas exploration as well as increasing environmental concerns, mean the demand for leak detection systems is expected to surge.
Some of the leading players in leak detection include Siemens, Pure Technologies, Schneider Electric, Honeywell International and Perma-Pipe.
