Three separate water leaks located over a distance of 826m using the AQUASCAN TM2 - Case Study
Introduction Locating leaks on large diameter water mains can be very difficult due to poor sound propagation and increased distances between fittings that can be used to perform correlations from. For a correlator to highlight a potential leak each sensor must be able to receive the signal from that leak. Once a correlation is highlighted it is then down to the software and the user of the ...

South East Water - Acoustic & pressure monitoring - Case Study
Dual advantage - Acoustic & Pressure Monitoring helps South East Water detect and locate leaks As the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in work-at-home models across the UK, water become even more precious as residential use spiked. For South East Water, per-person water use increased in 2020 by a staggering 16%. That has made minimising leaks and main breaks more ...

Robust sensor placement for leak location: analysis and design
In this paper, a nominal sensor placement methodology for leak location in water distribution networks is presented. To reduce the size and the complexity of the optimization problem a clustering technique is combined with the nominal sensor placement methodology. Some of the pressure sensor placement methods for leak detection and location in water distribution networks are based on the ...

Case Study: Laurel Bed Dam
Background Froehling & Robertson Inc were engaged by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to remediate seepage paths at the Laurel Bed dam. The dam had been leaking in excess of 500 gpm with water leaking in multiple locations. This water supply feeds a popular trout stream. If the dam failed, homes in the valley below the dam could be flooded. Q: Problem you needed to ...

Using buoy-based water quality monitoring to assess impact of gas leak on beluga whales - Case Study
PROJECT BACKGROUND In February 2017, Alaskan drill rig workers flying by helicopter to an offshore platform noticed bubbles surfacing in the Cook Inlet near Nikiski, south of Anchorage. Those bubbles turned out to be a methane leak from an aging ocean-floor pipeline carrying natural gas for the generators that fuel the drilling rigs. The oil and gas company immediately self-reported the ...

Specifying allowable leakage rates
Introduction Allowable Leakage Rates or Action Leakage Rates (ALRs) are specified for installed geomembranes to quantify the maximum allowable liquid leakage. If the ALR is exceeded, corrective action must be taken to reduce the leakage rate below the set limit. To lower the leakage, the holes in the geomembrane are located and repaired. In some cases, the ALR is set so low that, if exceeded, ...

Using flow meters to reduce non-revenue water
Utility managers are continually challenged to run water systems in the most efficient manner. Reducing non-revenue water (NRW) is an important component for system efficiency. In many states, regulators are placing caps on NRW or requiring reductions in the amount of NRW. Accurate and well-planned flow measurement can be used to locate areas of water leakage and reduce NRW. McCrometer is a ...
