A conversation with Esteban Sibaja

In this “Conversation with” we spoke to Esteban Sibaja, an engineer based in Atmos’ Costa Rica office. Esteban shared how consistency, creativity and teamwork shape his work on global pipeline projects. We discussed his journey to Atmos, overcoming challenges and his passion for preventing environmental impact through leak detection.

The leaks you can’t see: how a 1% leak was identified using three methods

Senior Project Engineer Oliver Port shares how a 1% leak on a rising sewer main was detected using three independent methods within Atmos Sentinel, demonstrating the system’s sensitivity to early-stage pipeline failures, even under shut-in conditions.

How a pressure spike predicted a major rising sewer main leak

Written from the field by Senior Project Engineer Oliver Port, this blog explores how a 0.03-second pressure spike detected by Atmos Sentinel signaled a rising main leak days before failure, highlighting the value of high resolution monitoring in wastewater networks.

What PHMSA’s latest memo on inspection and enforcement priorities means for pipeline operators

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) have released a memo that could have impact for pipeline operators across the US. Learn more in Vice President Peter Han’s blog and what it means for pipeline operators.

Turning challenges into innovation: detecting rising sewer mains leaks with only one access point

In this blog written from the field, Senior Project Engineer Oliver Port discusses how single ended leak detection is making rising sewer mains easier to monitor. Learn how Atmos Sentinel detects leaks with just one access point, using real field data and built-for-purpose technology.
