At the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo 2026, Lindsay Corporation highlighted the role of leak detection within its technology offering for critical infrastructure. In this context, Arun Kesavan, Senior Director, Commercial Sales & Product Management, explained how the company combines advanced monitoring and data analytics to improve industrial asset control.
Since its founding in 1955, the company has developed two main business lines: irrigation and infrastructure. Both share a common element: the use of technology to optimize operations. Likewise, Lindsay has focused much of its activity on the design and manufacture of remote monitoring systems applied to pipelines and other key infrastructure.
Within the infrastructure segment, the company has consolidated its expertise in pipeline monitoring. For decades, it has developed technologies aimed at ensuring the integrity of these assets and improving their management.
Among its most recognized solutions is the Scout line, considered its flagship product. This system enables rectifier monitoring, an important element in corrosion protection for pipelines. Thanks to this technology, operators can obtain real-time data and optimize the performance of their infrastructure.
In this way, the combination of remote monitoring and data analytics enables oil & gas companies to make more informed decisions and reduce operational risks.
Leak detection is emerging as the most significant development in Lindsay’s current portfolio.
This technology makes it possible to identify leaks at an early stage, before they become larger-scale incidents.
As Kesavan explained.
Through advanced monitoring systems, the solution can detect small losses in tanks, valves, and pipelines. This enables a rapid response by operators and prevents the issue from escalating.
Likewise, leak detection provides a clear advantage: early access to critical data. Having this information makes it possible to act proactively and maintain asset integrity in an environment where failures can have significant consequences; this capability makes an operational difference.
The value of leak detection goes beyond technical control; leaks mean resource losses, increase operating costs, and can have negative effects on the environment.
In the case of pipelines, a leak can lead to corrosion issues and affect infrastructure safety. Likewise, it can also impact nearby communities and the environment. Therefore, identifying these events early is crucial to minimizing risks.
As a result, monitoring and detection solutions enable companies to reduce the likelihood of incidents and improve operational efficiency. This ability to anticipate becomes a decisive factor in asset management in the energy sector.
For its part, beyond technology, Lindsay focuses on service and customer support as differentiators. Kesavan emphasized that ongoing support is essential for users to get the maximum value from the solutions implemented.
The company has an international presence, including markets in Latin America and other regions. This coverage makes it possible to provide technical support across different operating environments and adapt to each customer’s specific needs.
In this way, the combination of technology and service strengthens the company’s value proposition in a highly competitive market.
Finally, leak detection reflects a shift in how the industry approaches infrastructure management. Compared with reactive models, today’s solutions prioritize anticipation and real-time data analysis.
In this scenario, Lindsay Corporation continues to develop tools aimed at improving efficiency and asset control. The ability to identify issues before they escalate is positioned as a key factor for the future of the oil & gas sector.
