Description
The huge nightmare defying Africa’s economy
known as pipeline vandalism had obviously rendered all forms of
protection innovations abortive because these innovations were
strictly centered on a lone and narrow method of “sensor this;
sensor that” type of protection design. Although prevalent in
rural communities, it is clear that the perpetrators of this crime
are no novice to plugging out the sensor based
detection/protection systems’ eye/ear before they carry out any
operation; therefore, it becomes needful for the introduction of a
thoughtful and appropriate method of protection that will ensure
a global permanent solution to this atrocious nightmare.
Consequently, this paper proposes the utilization of the internet
in pipeline protection against vandalism; it also demonstrates the
utilization of the Internet in the protection of pipelines taking
into cognizance an accurate measure and comparison of the
physical quantities around the conveyed fluid.
