Claim 0:
1. A pipeline system comprising a pipeline length and a sensor for measuring a characteristic of the pipeline length;
the pipeline length comprising a pipeline wall, the pipeline wall comprising a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers of the pipeline wall forming a ridge, the plurality of pipeline layers engaging at the ridge, the ridge extending radially outwardly from an exterior surface of the pipeline wall, and the ridge extending helically along the pipeline length; and
the sensor comprising a sensor length extending helically along the pipeline length, the sensor length extending helically around an outside of the pipeline length parallel to the helical ridge, the sensor length abutting the ridge at the exterior surface of the pipeline wall outside of the pipeline length, and the sensor length being an optical fibre; wherein
the measured characteristic by the sensor is a presence of a strain of the wall of the pipeline length.
