What is Urban Lifeline Safety Engineering? Which sensors are needed for drainage, water supply, and gas pipeline monitoring?
Urban Lifeline = real-time safety monitoring of water supply + drainage + gas + bridges. Drainage uses radar + RTU for flood prevention. Water supply uses electromagnetic DMA + pressure for leak detection. CSSOC focuses on water segment with 120+ sites deployed.
Urban Lifeline Safety Engineering is the systematic real-time monitoring and intelligent early warning of critical urban infrastructure — water supply, drainage, gas, heating, and bridges — to prevent public safety incidents.
Drainage Monitoring: Radar level meters (manhole water level) + Doppler radar flowmeters (pipe velocity/flow) + rain gauges (precipitation), with EC32 RTU for real-time urban flood warning and CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) monitoring.
Water Supply Monitoring: Electromagnetic flowmeters (DMA zoning) + pressure transmitters (network pressure) + online water quality analyzers (residual chlorine/turbidity/pH) for leak localization and water quality assurance.
Gas Pipeline Monitoring: Pressure transmitters + gas leak detectors + intelligent cathodic protection monitoring via explosion-proof RTU terminals.
CSSOC focuses on the "water" component of urban lifelines, providing end-to-end solutions from sensor to cloud, with 120+ monitoring points deployed across multiple cities in China.
