How It Works

How Highline Sentinel™ Works

From Assessment To Readiness.

Sentinel follows a property-first process that moves from assessment and digital capture to design, engineering, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and long-term readiness.

Request Assessment

01 Assess

Every Sentinel project begins with understanding the property. The assessment evaluates wildfire exposure, architecture, water availability, power resilience, site constraints, access, aesthetics, and system feasibility.

  • Wildfire exposure review
  • Architecture and visual impact review
  • Water source and reserve strategy
  • Power resilience review
  • Access, terrain, and serviceability
  • Budgetary and feasibility guidance

02 Capture

Digital understanding comes before design. Depending on the property, Sentinel may use LiDAR, drone mapping, photography, field measurements, and site documentation to support system planning.

LiDAR

Reality capture to support accurate site documentation and routing review.

Drone Mapping

Aerial context for rooflines, terrain, vegetation, and access.

Field Review

Property documentation, photos, measurements, and utility review.


03 Design

Sentinel design is not just about where pipe can fit. It is about how the property should be protected. Protection strategy, routing, node placement, equipment locations, visibility, access, and architecture are evaluated together.

  • Protection network layout
  • Roofline and eave strategy
  • Deployment area planning
  • Equipment location review
  • Architectural integration review
  • Service and maintenance access planning

04 Engineer

Highline Sentinel develops the platform architecture behind the system, including protection, hydraulic delivery, water source strategy, reserve capacity, power resilience, controls, and readiness.

Protect™

Protection nodes and deployment strategy.

Flow™

Hydraulic delivery, pressure, and pumping.

Reserve™

Water storage and reserve capacity.

Power™

Backup power and critical-load planning.

Command™

Controls, activation, diagnostics, and monitoring direction.

DryGuard™

Readiness, winterization, and pressure verification.


05 Forge

Sentinel Forge™ translates digital design into physical integration. Routing, fabrication, mounting, transition details, and visible components are planned to support both performance and architecture.

Where components are visible, the goal is purposeful integration rather than field improvisation.

06 Install

Sentinel systems are designed to be installed by qualified contractors or Sentinel Certified Partners. Partners may handle sales, site walks, digital capture, installation, startup, commissioning support, and service.

Highline Sentinel supports the design, platform standards, engineering direction, documentation, controls strategy, and parts package.

07 Maintain Readiness

A wildfire resilience system should not simply be installed. It should be tested, documented, winterized where required, inspected, and maintained.

Sentinel DryGuard™ may support air-assisted winterization, pressure verification, leak awareness, and service diagnostics so the system can remain prepared.

  • Commissioning and performance verification
  • Seasonal startup and shutdown
  • Air-assisted winterization where required
  • Pressure checks and leak awareness
  • Partner service standards
  • Long-term maintenance planning
