Applications
Pipeline Routes
For long-distance pipeline routes, our system provides continuous monitoring across remote and open areas. It helps detect digging and third-party interference early.
Pump, Compressor, Valve & Metering Stations
Our system provides reliable perimeter protection, real-time monitoring, and rapid alarm response for critical equipment and access points at staffed and unmanned stations.
Storage and Transfer Areas
For storage and transfer areas connected to pipeline networks, our system supports layered protection from site boundaries to key equipment zones.
Success Cases
Niger-Benin Crude Oil Pipeline Security & Fiber Optic Early Warning System
Project Requirements
The 1,950 km Niger-Benin Crude Oil Pipeline connects Niger’s Agadem oilfields to Benin’s Sèmé Port, but its remote desert route creates serious security, access, and maintenance challenges.
Solution
- Gato deployed 11 F7 fiber optic early warning systems, covering about 1 km per station. The system supports real-time intrusion location, rodent-resistant cables, low maintenance, centralized monitoring, and passive explosion-proof protection.
Results
- The solution strengthens intrusion prevention, reduces maintenance, and ensures reliable operation in remote high-risk areas.
Collaborators
- CNPC, Niger and Benin governments, and local partners.
- Gato is proud to help protect Africa’s energy infrastructure.
