Acoustic Leak Correlation

Advanced hydrophone sensors and correlation technology pinpoint leaks in underground pipes with millimeter precision, even through concrete and soil.

Technology Overview

Acoustic leak correlation represents the pinnacle of underground leak detection technology. Our advanced hydrophone sensors listen for the unique acoustic signature created by water escaping under pressure from pipes. Using sophisticated correlation algorithms, we can pinpoint the exact location of leaks within millimeters, even when buried deep beneath concrete, asphalt, or soil. This technology works on all pipe materials including metal, plastic, and concrete, making it the most versatile solution for underground infrastructure.
