MAST is working with a client in the oil industry on detecting corrosion on pipelines under the insulation. Currently, detecting and repairing corroded sections of a pipeline is a time consuming and expensive process. MAST has developed a system using a pervasive deployment of permanent wireless MEMS corrosion sensors attached to pipes under the insulation and communicating to base stations positioned along the pipeline. Sensor messages are routed to the client command center where they are monitored.
