Scope of Works / What Was Done

Tracer Gas UK carried out a tracer gas leak detection survey using specialist equipment and methodology.

The process included:

• Injecting tracer gas into the affected water system
• Allowing the gas to travel through the system and escape at the leak point
• Using highly sensitive detection equipment to monitor gas levels at the surface
• Mapping gas concentration readings across the site to identify the leak location

This approach is fully non-destructive and allows for precise identification without intrusive investigation works.

Findings

During the survey, tracer gas readings of approximately 1000 ppm were recorded in a specific area of the site.

These elevated readings clearly indicated the exact location of the leak, allowing the issue to be confirmed quickly and with a high degree of accuracy.

Outcome / What Was Achieved

The project successfully delivered:

• Precise pinpointing of the leak location
• Rapid confirmation of the fault
• A clear and targeted repair location
• Minimal disruption to the operational site

By eliminating the need for exploratory excavation, the client was able to significantly reduce both time and costs associated with the repair process.

Overall Result

The use of tracer gas technology enabled a fast, efficient, and highly accurate leak detection process within a live environment. The outcome ensured that repair works could be carried out quickly and effectively, with minimal impact on the site and its operations.

Key Benefits Delivered

• Non-invasive leak detection
• High accuracy through clear ppm readings
• Reduced investigation and repair time
• Lower overall project costs
• Minimal disruption to site activities
