Leak Detection Project in Orlando, Florida
Case Study: Leak Detection at Business in Orlando, Florida
Location: Orlando, Florida
Task: Pinpoint the location of an underground water leak on-site utilizing acoustic leak detection services.
Problem: The customer was experiencing water surfacing in their parking lot due to a suspected underground water leak. They knew they needed to saw cut to repair the leaking pipe but did not know where to start. Surrounding underground utilities were at risk of being severed during the saw-cutting process. The customer lacked the equipment and expertise to locate existing underground utility lines and precisely identify the suspected water leak before cutting
Solution: GPRS Project Manager located and mapped all underground utility lines on-site, compiling the data in GPRS' GIS utility mapping platform, SiteMap®, to ensure no utility lines were damaged during saw cutting.
GPRS Leak Detection Project Manager guided the maintenance crew to core drill two spots directly above the suspected leak to access the pipe and establish a grounding rod connection for acoustic leak detection.He used grounding rods, expert listening skills, and the S30 Leak Detection Analog System to precisely pinpoint the location of the leaking water line.
The customer avoided damaging any underground utilities thanks to GPRS’ markings and was able to saw cut a 3x3 area directly above the leaking pipe.
Accurate, field-verified, and GPS-enabled utility maps in PDF, KMZ, and SHP formats were provided via SiteMap® to document project results.
Benefits: The customer successfully located and addressed the leak, preventing further damages such as:
- Sinkhole formation
- Drinking water contamination
- Increased water bills
- Flooded surrounding property
Detailed, reliable reports saved the customer time and money. The customer had peace of mind with GPRS serving as a one-stop shop for utility locating and underground leak detection services.
