Acoustic Leak Detection

When a pressurised water pipe develops a leak the water flows out of it into the surrounding ground at high speed, which causes the pipe and soil to vibrate at the exit point. This sound, or vibration, is transmitted by the pipe and surrounding material where it can be heard with the highly sensitive microphones.

When the section of pipeline with the leak has been preliminary located, or you have decided to walk the surface of the pipe to find the leak, pin pointing the leak can be carried out using our highly skilled and experienced staff.
