“…The use of pipes provides the safest means of transporting oil, gases and other types of fluids [2]. To enable pipes to perform long distance transportation, the pipes must be able to fulfil the requirements of safety, reliability and efficiency [3]. It is vital to continuously monitor the condition of pipes in order to ensure that it is safe to be used.…”

Ultrasonic sensors can be used to measure strain occurring on an object. In this investigation, an ultrasonic signal utilized the reflected signal as a means of monitoring the condition of a pipe. This is an alternative to the strain gage which is commonly used but has a limited life span. The ultrasonic signal was transmitted to a specific location on the pipe, and then reflected by the pipe surface which experienced strain towards the ultrasonic receiver. Collimation of the transmitted and received signals is performed by aluminum probe cones attached to both ultrasonic transducers. Changes in the strain due to the pipe bending will result in changes in the electric signal due to the changes in the sound intensity. The received electric signal was processed by a signal conditioning circuit consisting of preamplifier, amplifier, band-pass filter and rectifier before being displayed. Two experiments were conducted to establish the relationship between strain on the pipe and the ultrasonic intensity. In order to verify the results, an experiment was conducted using a strain gage and the results were identical. The results show that the system is able to measure strain when the pipe bends.

“…Failure in gas infrastructure can impact significantly upon individuals, communities and the environment (Berg et al , 2017; McDermott et al , 2017; Hendrick et al , 2016; Adgate et al , 2014). Large-scale incidents requiring a multi-agency response from emergency organisations demand careful planning to mitigate their impact.…”

An evaluation of a virtual training environment for testing UK gas pipeline emergency response plans. Approach Interviews, observations and desk research were used to identify current methods for testing plans. A virtual training environment was developed and evaluated with industry experts using participatory design techniques. Key themes relating to both the current methods for testing plans and for a virtual training environment were identified using thematic analysis. Findings Improved training performance, remote participation and evidence of decision testing are benefits a virtual training environment can bring to current practice. It is suggested that a virtual training environment can enhance, rather than replace the current process of testing emergency response plans. Research limitations Analysis of the virtual training environment being used to test plans in a live context would give further ecological validity to the findings. A study of the prototype used to test plans for incidents involving sectors outside the gas industry would further validate the findings. Originality The application of a virtual training environment to facilitate testing plans and the decision making processes for major incidents involving high-pressure gas pipelines and storage sites, is yet to be documented. This paper contributes to the literature by documenting the decision making process and evaluation of a virtual training environment for testing plans in this context.
