SUSTAINABLE PIPELINE SYSTEMS LTD is developing game changing new technology for the installation of pipeline infrastructure that incorporates distributed sensors in a spiral configuration during manufacture of the pipe to provide an intrinsically intelligent pipe (iPIPE). An automated mobile manufacturing system (MASIP) offers to halve total installed pipeline cost, more than halve the environmental impact and greatly improve the logistics of pipeline installation.Pipelines constructed in this way have a major role to play to transport (and store) vast quantities of energy (in gas or liquid form) over large distances, delivering the underlying infrastructure for net zero HGV, Train as well as general gas transmission use. By using these at higher pressures with Hydrogen, a lower carbon intensity can be achieved in the energy mix. Our spiral wound optical fibre innovation introduces the prospect of real time continuous monitoring to provide a digital platform for the pipeline network of the future.The project addresses a huge global market for onshore pipelines which market research has estimated to exceed $50bn by 2025\. It can be argued that the conventional manual pipeline construction and integrity monitoring processes are no longer sustainable. The availability of sustainable pipeline construction and monitoring technology will be a critical enabling factor in the introduction of hydrogen gas as an energy carrier for heating and industrial power. Without widespread hydrogen fuel then heavy transport and industrial processes as well as domestic heating are all unlikely to be able to meet net zero climate regulations even by 2050\. This is recognised in a number of government targets and industry objectives (including National Grid's recently published Future Energy Scenarios 2020) which aim to develop a number of hydrogen projects over the next few years.This offers to be genuinely disruptive technology that will develop its own supply chain in the UK creating many highly skilled jobs for the future. The project also offers large scale opportunities in the international market place.This project will focus on the core technical and manufacturing innovations needed to be able to automate and scale up the mobile manufacturing process

可持续管道系统有限公司正在开发用于管道基础设施安装的改变游戏规则的新技术，该技术在管道制造过程中将分布式传感器融入螺旋结构，以提供本质智能管道（iPIPE）。自动化移动制造系统 (MASIP) 可以将管道安装总成本减半，对环境的影响减少一半以上，并大大改善管道安装的物流。以这种方式建造的管道在远距离运输（和储存）大量能源（气体或液体形式）方面发挥着重要作用，为净零 HGV、火车以及一般天然气输送使用提供基础设施。通过在更高的压力下与氢气一起使用，可以在能源结构中实现更低的碳强度。我们的螺旋缠绕光纤创新引入了实时连续监控的前景，为未来的管道网络提供数字平台。该项目面向全球陆上管道的巨大市场，市场研究估计到 2025 年该市场将超过 500 亿美元。可以说，传统的手动管道施工和完整性监测流程不再可持续。可持续管道建设和监测技术的可用性将成为引入氢气作为供热和工业电力能源载体的关键推动因素。如果没有广泛的氢燃料，那么即使到 2050 年，重型运输和工业流程以及家庭供暖也不太可能满足净零气候法规。许多政府目标和行业目标（包括国家电网最近发布的 2020 年未来能源情景）都认识到了这一点，这些目标旨在在未来几年内开发许多氢能项目。这是真正的颠覆性技术，将在英国开发自己的供应链，为未来创造许多高技能就业机会。该项目还为国际市场提供了大规模的机会。该项目将重点关注能够实现移动制造流程自动化和规模化所需的核心技术和制造创新
