Abstract

The problem of the prevention of emergency situations on pipelines that are caused by leaks of a transferred product, unauthorized insertions, and installation of subversive munitions is considered. The approach to the detection of these threats with the use of an active method for acoustic diagnostics of the state of an underground pipeline is proposed.
