PIPELINE LEAKAGE PROTECTION VAULT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A pipeline leakage protection vault system for protection of leakage in a pipeline, the system, comprising:
- a plurality of leakage protection vault modules adapted to be circumferentially disposed to portions of a pipeline and capable of communicably configured to each other to generate a plurality of real time data relating to the pipeline, each module comprises a retrofittable configuration adapted to include at least two sub-modules coupled to be snugly disposed circumferentially around the portion of the pipeline, wherein each of the sub-module comprises;
at least one protective casing adapted to compliment the portion of the pipeline to be fitted thereover to protect the fluid in event of leakage of the pipeline,spacer rings disposed circumferentially over the protective casing in spaced relationship from each other, wherein each of the spacer rings comprises a plurality of components adapted to monitor a plurality of parameters associated with the pipeline and capable of generating the plurality of real time data related to the pipeline, anda vault door disposed over the top protective casing and rest over the spacer rings covering the sub-module, wherein the vault door is capable of withholding the fluid in case of leakage of the pipeline thereby blocking the escaping of the fluid in environment; and
a central control unit adapted to communicably configured to the plurality of modules to receive the plurality of real time data relating to the pipeline to generate a plurality of related information of the pipeline.

Abstract
A pipeline leakage protection vault system includes a plurality of leakage protection vault modules and a central control unit adapted to be communicably configured to each other. Each module includes a retrofittable configuration adapted to include sub-modules coupled around the pipeline. Each sub-module includes a protective casing, spacer rings and a vault door. The protective casing is adapted to compliment the portion of the pipeline to be fitted to protect the fluid in event of leakage. Further, the spacer rings are adapted to be disposed circumferentially over the protective casing in spaced relationship from each other. The spacer rings includes a plurality of components adapted to monitor parameters associated with the pipeline to generate real time data related to the pipeline. Furthermore, the vault door disposed over the top protective casing and rest over the spacer rings covering the sub-module and withholding the fluid in case of leakage.
