Zusammenfassung:	Techniques for implementing a system that includes a pipe segment and a monitoring apparatus. The pipe segment includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit within a tubing annulus of the pipe segment. The monitoring apparatus includes a plurality of bore sensors fluidly connected to the pipe bore of the pipe segment, an annulus sensor fluidly connected to the fluid conduit defined within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment, and a control sub-system. The control sub-system determines whether a breach is present in the tubing of the pipe segment based at least in part on first sensor data determined by the bore sensors to be indicative of a bore fluid parameter present within the pipe bore of the pipe segment and second sensor data determined by the annulus sensor to be indicative of an annulus fluid parameter present within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment.
