Leak Detection

'us' - Utility Services is leading the way in water conservation technology with a new Acoustic Leakage Detection Service that locates hidden leaks quickly and efficiently.

Identifying water leaks is a key component in water conservation, however it is not always easy to identify where the leak is coming from. Many leaks lie below the road surface and can enter into the drainage system or conduits. Finding these leaks using conventional methods often proves to be too costly and time consuming.

With acoustic leakage technology, 'us' - Utility Services can now accurately identify water leaks in a relatively short period of time. This combines noise logging and leak noise correlation in a single process. This overcomes any delays, usually experienced with conventional methods.

'us’ – Utility Services has years of experience in locating and pinpointing hidden water leaks. The state of the art technology used is called Soundsens and has many benefits over conventional leak detection methods.

The Soundsens approach is based on the deployment of highly sensitive and accurate noise loggers called “pods”, which are attached to surface fittings such as fire hydrants and valves. The pods, which are time synchronised, record sound in short bursts lasting a few seconds. The recording is repeated multiple times to separate genuine use from suspected leakage.

Any leaks are pinpointed on the pipe layout diagram, tabulated and ranked in order of probability. The software will also show any correlations that should be subjected to further investigation. To help with this, the field officer can listen to the sound using the software’s audio feature. The data files can then be stored for transfer or use at a later date. We can provide a detailed summary report on the leak detection results that can be used for asset performance reports.

‘us’ - Utility Services also has a wide range of other leak detection equipment to improve the effectiveness of locating the leaking asset. However, the equipment doesn’t find the leak by itself, it’s the operator. The equipment is only as good as the operator using the equipment and ‘us’ - Utility Service operators have many years using the equipment with great results.
