When a leak self-seals: detecting intermittent failures in sewer infrastructure

Senior Project Engineer Oliver Port explains how Atmos Sentinel detected a short-lived, self-sealing leak on a rising main, demonstrating the value of high-frequency monitoring for identifying intermittent failures in wastewater pipelines.

How pipeline leak detection contributes to securing a PHMSA Special Permit to operate

In this blog by Business Development Director for gas Bob Truman, learn how advanced leak detection can support PHMSA Special Permit applications by enhancing pipeline safety, enabling innovation and meeting regulatory expectations in non-standard operating conditions.

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.
