Hydrophone Leak Detection

BC's experts in underwater acoustic leak detection. Our hydrophone technology detects leaks in water-filled systems, submerged pipes, and tanks without drainage or service interruption.

How Hydrophone Detection Works

Hydrophones are specialized underwater microphones designed to detect acoustic signals in liquid environments. When a leak occurs in a water-filled pipe or tank, it creates distinctive sound patterns that propagate through the water.

Our hydrophone systems are inserted into the water system through access points and can detect leak sounds that would be impossible to hear from outside the pipe. This technology is essential for water storage tanks, submerged crossings, and pressurized water mains.
