How We do It!

Line locating is the process of finding underground utilities such as sewer, water, and gas lines. Line detection is the process of detecting leaks in these lines. There are a variety of ways to locate and detect leaks, but one common method is acoustic leak detection. This involves placing microphones or acoustic sound sensors in contact with the pipe, at two or more points. The sound data is processed through a mathematical algorithm which compares or correlates the two recordings to determine the difference in the times it takes noise to travel from the site of the leak to each of the sensors. If the distance between the sensors is known in advance, this timing information can be used to determine the location of the leak. Acoustic leak detection is just one way to locate and detect leaks in underground lines, but it can be an effective method for finding and repairing these leaks.
