Telecom Automation Pipeline systems

Engineering Critical Infrastructure

Integrated communication, automation and pipeline monitoring systems for energy, infrastructure and industrial projects.

How we deliver

From Feasibility to
24/7 Support

One engineering team, accountable at every stage. The engineers who design your system are the ones who commission and support it.

  1. 01

    Consultation & FEED

    Requirements, site surveys and concept design.

  2. 02

    Detailed Design

    System architecture, redundancy and equipment selection.

  3. 03

    Procurement & Build

    Panel fabrication, RTU/PLC programming and factory acceptance testing.

  4. 04

    Install & Commission

    Site integration, site acceptance testing and handover.

  5. 05

    Support & Maintenance

    24/7 response, upgrades and operator training.

One Fibre. Kilometres of Continuous Monitoring.

A single optical cable laid along the pipeline becomes thousands of sensors, detecting leaks, third-party intrusion, ground movement and temperature change in real time.

Internal Leak Detection to API 1130

E-RTTM, statistical analysis and volume balance methods, integrated with your SCADA system.

Why TLE

Engineered Around Uptime

Redundancy First

Every system is designed so a single failure doesn't stop operations.

Vendor-Independent

We integrate the right equipment for the job rather than one manufacturer's catalogue.

One Team, Start to Finish

The engineers who design your system also commission and support it.

Aberdeen-Based, Internationally Deployed

Engineering from Westhill, delivered at sites across Asia and Africa.
