In this case, damage to the TMC and the pinned optical cable is possible, the TMC leakage failure leads to the filling of the pipelines with water, mud, siltation in significant areas, which deprives the FOL of all advantages in the form of the possibility of additional laying or replacement of the FOL. Timely detection and elimination of leakage of TMС avoids adverse consequences and reduces the costs of the technical operation of the FOL. In practice, however, maintenance of TMC is often not carried out, and the condition of the pipelines is identified when performing work with the optical cables, which significantly reduces the reliability of the FOL operation. To improve the reliability of the optical cables, laid in the TMC, a method for monitoring the leakage of pipelines is proposed. |
