“We are very pleased with the results of implementing Pipewise on our NGL pipelines. As a rapidly growing company, we sought a partner that offered a high-end CPM leak detection system that was adaptable and supported by a 24/7 technical team. We look forward to expanding Pipewise to our other pipeline systems in the near future.”

For the operator, VBx provided more than compliance, it delivered dependable, low-noise leak detection that integrates cleanly into live operations.

The combination of sensitivity, reliability, and support enabled leak detection to function as a trusted operational safeguard rather than a reactive alarm system.
