Broken pipes not only harm water network operators and beneficiaries, but may cause - in most cases – hazardous situations, such as water pollution. Because of this, it is mandatory to perform an immediate and exact determination of the fault areas as well as permanent monitoring of networks for water leaks’ control)
Detcond Service have experience in locating water leaks and providing all equipment and measurement methods to avoid water loss.
In order to locate water leaks within water networks, the noise of the water pressure has to be discovered. Fluid leaking out through the perforations leads to the generation of acoustic waves - which are transmitted by both the water column and the pipe walls. Where waves reach the pipe material, this vibrates. It is about the acoustic vibrations produced within the pipe body.
