Bandweaver, leading provider of fiber optic monitoring sensors and integrated technologies, is proud to be attending Elecrama. They will be attending in support of their key regional partner, Power International from 18-22 January 2020. Bandweaver’s Managing Director, Richard Kluth will be at the event on stand H4A7 alongside the Power International team, taking place at India Expo Mart, NCR India.
Bandweaver will be attending next year’s Intersec exhibition– the world’s leading trade fair for Security, Safety & Fire Protection.
Gas pipeline leakage is a worldwide issue. It costs up to $30 billion dollars of lost revenue and about 3% of global natural gas production each year. The implications of this are also environmental. Methane is released as a result of these leaks, continuing to contribute to the worlds growing global warming problem. The most common cause for gas leakage is old and corroding pipeline. However, the most significant leaks are the result of third-party interference to the pipeline. Fortunately, Bandweaver’s pipeline protection systems can help prevent these issues.
DAS Horizon fiber optic sensing technology provides cost-effective solution to the problem of intrusions and disruption to overhead power lines.
Bandweaver’s Dynamic Cable Rating (DCR) technology enables Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) to utilise Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system using real-time and historical data comparisons to increase wind farm capacity by 20% and enable cable rating enhancements of 25-35%.
Reliable conveyor belt fire protection and security within fuel storage areas is crucial, which is why LafargeHolcim chose Bandweaver’s FireLaser linear heat detection solution for their cement plant in Jerez, Spain.
Bandweaver has recently completed the installation and commissioned its latest global test and demonstration facility just outside London, England. Therefore reinforcing Bandweaver as a global operator within the fiber optic monitoring sector with test and demonstration facilities across four continents.

Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR) systems and distributed temperature sensing (DTS) technologies have been used within power cable condition monitoring to rate cables since the 1990’s. A well documented power cable failure in Auckland 1998 shut down the city’s central business district. As a result, this recognised the benefits of incorporating DTS and RTTR into power transmission operations.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Distributed Temperature Sensing are fiber optic sensing solutions. These measure temperature along the fiber either utilizing a technique called Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (COTDR) or Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR). Therefore, turning the entire length of a fiber optic cable into a sensor.
