This recent job was for leak detection underneath bitumen in Bunbury.
Construction Sciences had a leak on a large bituminised warehouse facility. The leak was large but was not appearing anywhere to be easily located. After searching with our specialist acoustic sound equipment, the leak location was narrowed down to an area at the back of the property.
After inducing the tracer gas we located a leak at a tap that was supposed to be sealed but never was. The leak was over 5 litres of water a minute, so locating the leak saved a lot of future water loss.
Acoustic detection equipment is used to localise the lowest consistent noise emitted by water escaping the pipework where the pipes have burst, whilst reducing noise from interfering objects and people.
This method works well when aiming to locate a water leak within underground services that is leaking at a rate of greater than 2 litres per minute.
The tracer gas used to find water leaks is a mixture of hydrogen (5%) and nitrogen (95%) making it completely safe to use in drinking water pipes being both non toxic and non corrosive. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases so as it spreads throughout the leak location and rises to the top making it easier to find even the smallest leak with no noise interference.
Searching for a water leak is a non-destructive solution to finding your leak.
