The Problem

Municipality suspected losses on aging cast-iron main serving 800 connections. Night-flow showed 1.5M L/day minimum flow.

Detection Method

Acoustic correlation survey of 2.4km during low-flow hours over 3 nights. GPR confirmed pipe depth. Two leaks identified: joint leak at 1.8km, saddle leak at 2.2km.

Results

Both leaks repaired within 2 weeks. 1.2M L/month recovered. $45K/year savings. Report used for infrastructure funding.
