Water Leak Detection

In Port Hedland, WA

Specialising in Water leak detection in Western Australia, we assist with infrastructure maintenance and repairs works.

Fire systems are critical service and when a section of existing fire main piping was identified to be losing pressure Water leak detection was required to identify the source of water loss. Water leaks left unchecked pass large volumes of water, can cause sink holes and require jacking pumps to continually start. Westscan used GPR to confirm location of fire main piping then employed leak detection methodology with both acoustic leak detection and tracer gas leak detection to identify the water leak on Blue brute fire main piping connection.
