Pipelines carry water, fuel, waste, communication and power cables, all of which are important to the operation of residential, hospital, military, and industrial complexes. Often, pipelines are severely damaged after catastrophes such as earthquakes. The immediate inspection of pipelines is critical to prevent fires, explosions, and contamination from broken gas, water, or sewage lines. This paper reviews the conventional and emerging technologies used in pipeline leak detection. These technologies are discussed in terms of the phenomena employed, principles, system applicability, and positive and negative virtues of each when applied to various pipeline defect detection.
