[lwutmvpl] Alpha Centauri gravitational waves

Could hypothetical denizens of the Alpha Centauri system (maybe us someday) measure the gravitational waves emitted by Alpha Centauri A and B orbiting each other?  (Orbital period 80 years.)  How much technology would it require?

Not sure how to distinguish sensing the gravitational wave versus directly sensing gravity.
