Fire Hydrant Flow Testing Firelines and hydrants are routinely tested every 5 years to determine if there is adequate flow and pressure and that all parts are serviceable and easily located with quality markings. In practice, network operators determine how often each grid/suburb will be tested. To determine system and hydrant compliance, Flow Testing is [...]
Reducing Water Loss Throughout NSW Using the latest tools and exclusive technology Leaktech have again demonstrated our commitment to excellence, expertise, increasing capabilities and overall knowledge within all aspects of leak detection across various water mains, piping networks and facilities around regional areas of NSW under the DPIE Water Efficiency Program. The Goal Leaktech’s Primary [...]
Flow Testing of Firelines It is recommended that Firelines (Hydrants) should be routinely tested every 5 years although especially if there is no pressing need to test a specific hydrant or if test data less than 5-year-old is available from an adjacent hydrant within the same grid. It is entirely up to the network’s owner [...]
Glass-fibre Reinforced Plastic pipe (GRP) piping systems which are also known as FRP piping systems are commonly used within the pipeline industry as well as other markets. The advantages of using GRP piping are that they are light weight, they have a high corrosion resistance, a smooth inner surface and are easy to install. Although [...]
Water Leaks in large shopping centres can be expensive and can cause a major impact on businesses within the shopping centre. Leaktech was notified at short notice of this leak and worked closely with some of our current clients to re-organise and shuffle pre-booked jobs around, as we deemed it an imperative to support our [...]
Hard to locate water leaks can be very expensive and disruptive to your business. Thanks to our technology and over 30 years of experience, we’re able to rapidly identify the source of water leaks that others miss. We recently helped a major shopping centre significantly reduce damage to their business due to a particularly deceptive [...]
Our team has upgraded our Ground Penetrating Radar technology so we can provide an even more accessible service to you. Firstly, what is ground penetrating radar? Ground penetrating radar is a non-destructive geo-physical method in which radar pulses are used to create an image of shallow subsurface features (down to 6 metres approximately). This allows [...]
Many Australian businesses and customers are in turmoil at the moment, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the restrictions governments have had to implement. With that in mind, we’d like to explain how we’ll be operating over the coming weeks. As an essential business, we’re determined to stay open as long as possible. Water leaks [...]
Don’t estimate the power of water. Water under pressure is very abrasive. In fact, it is used for cutting toughened glass and many other products in manufacturing processes. Small leaks quickly become large leaks. We have seen many different types of leaks during the last 33 years of specialist leak detection. We have the [...]
