Abstract:
A system and method for continuous detection of impacts on pipelines for fluid transportation, particularly on pipelines placed on the seabed. The system includes at least two sensors each installed in correspondence with an end of a section subject to detection of a pipeline. A first sensor of the at least two sensors is configured to detect first acoustic waves, which propagate along a first transmission phase associated with the pipeline, and a second sensor of the at least two sensors is configured to detect second acoustic waves which propagate along a second transmission phase associated with the pipeline. The second acoustic waves have different elastic features with respect to the first acoustic waves.
