Industrial Leak Detection South East Queensland

On an industrial site, unaccounted water is money and risk: a weeping fire main is a compliance failure, a leaking process line is downtime waiting to happen, and a site-wide loss can hide tens of thousands of dollars a year. We find industrial leaks with minimal interruption to operations.

  • Fire mains, process pipework & large-bore infrastructure
  • Site-wide water balance and loss audits
  • Work-around-production scheduling & site inductions

Industrial Sites Leak Differently

Factories, warehouses, workshops and processing facilities run water infrastructure that dwarfs anything residential: 100mm-plus mains, dedicated fire services under constant static pressure, cooling and wash-down systems, and decades of undocumented modifications. When something leaks, the loss is bigger, the pipework is deeper, and the cost of guessing wrong — cutting production, excavating a hardstand in the wrong place — is far higher.

Fire services deserve special mention. A charged fire main that slowly loses pressure is both a water bill problem and a compliance problem, and because fire mains are rarely metered separately, the loss often goes unquantified for years. We routinely locate fire main leaks under warehouse slabs and hardstands that have defeated repeated visual inspections.

How We Audit And Pinpoint Industrial Water Loss

Large sites start with a water balance: logging the main meter and any check meters against known consumption to quantify exactly how much water is unaccounted for. Zone isolation then divides the site's reticulation into testable sections, bracketing the loss to a specific run of pipe. Acoustic correlation — measuring the leak's pressure wave from two points and computing its position — performs at its best on long, large-bore industrial runs, and hydrogen tracer gas confirms the excavation point before any concrete saw or excavator starts.

Everything is scheduled around your operation. We induct onto site, work to your permit systems, test overnight or during shutdown windows where required, and deliver findings as a written report with marked plans your maintenance team can act on immediately.

  • Water balance audits quantifying unaccounted loss
  • Zone isolation across site reticulation
  • Acoustic correlation on long large-bore runs
  • Fire main pressure testing and leak location
  • Tracer gas confirmation before excavation
