The partnership drives PipeSense’s global expansion
PipeSense, providers of pipeline leak detection and monitoring technologies, is expanding its services to support pipeline operations in South America following an exclusive agent agreement
In partnership with Chile-based FastPack, PipeSense will gain direct access to provide its advanced solutions to the Chilean and Peruvian oil, gas, utilities, and mining markets.
The new agreement will enable FastPack to access a catalogue of leak detection, pig tracking, and hydrotesting technologies that have been used on oil, refined product, natural gas, and water pipelines in North America since PipeSense first entered the market in 2023.
The partnership also follows the receipt of an initial contract under which PipeSense will provide its PipeGuard leak detection system for a project in Peru in early 2026, supporting one of the region’s largest producers of metals and precious minerals. This delivery will mark the first time PipeSense has provided its expertise outside North America and the first time it has supported mining operations.
Given the mining industry's significant role in the region’s economy, PipeSense solutions can help mitigate the environmental, economic, and operational impacts of pipeline leaks, including water source contamination, soil degradation, and lost production time.
Josh Holmes, vice president of Business Development at PipeSense, said, “Pipeline inefficiencies and operational challenges aren’t unique to North America. Many of the issues we work to solve in the US, from aging infrastructure to the potential for human error, are realities faced by operators around the world. Through our work with US oil, gas, and utilities companies, we’ve seen firsthand how PipeGuard and our PipeServ service solutions help operators avoid wasting days chasing false positives and prevent small leaks from escalating into major events. After a period of sustained growth and several new appointments to our team, we are ready to take our support international, starting with this project in South America and through our new partnership with FastPack, as we look ahead to an exciting 2026.”
