Abstract
A sensor for measuring a characteristic of a length of a pipeline, wherein the sensor comprises a sensor length arranged to extend helically along the pipeline length; and the sensor length extends parallel to a ridge extending radially from a layer of a wall of the pipeline length. A length of pipeline with an integrated sensor length may be constructed by bending a first strip of material into a helical form that comprises a first ridge; bending a second strip of material into a helical form, wherein the second strip of material comprises a second ridge; forming a tubular shape from the first and second strips of material, wherein the first strip of material at least partially surrounds the second strip of material, and the first ridge engages the second ridge; and wrapping a sensor length about the tubular shape.
