The paper presents an intelligent remote monitoring system for the assessment of coated transmission pipelines of few hundred kilometres long. The objective of the remote system is to be able to collect, transmit and interpret measurements of potential coming from different sensors distributed in the field along the pipeline in order to have a continuous monitoring and assessment of the system.
