Leak Detection

The problem to solve

A small leak can remain unnoticed beneath equipment or a raised floor. Start by mapping where the liquid could collect, what it could affect and who needs the alarm.

Where this solution fits

• Data centres and server rooms: cooling equipment, condensate routes and accessible underfloor zones.
• Manufacturing and process areas: equipment bases, tanks, trays and pipe routes reviewed for the named liquid.
• Existing BMS or PLC systems where alarm points and the response workflow can be agreed with the system owner.

System scope and application limits

Compatible sensing sections connect to a selected controller. The controller provides the specified local alarm and, where supported and scoped, signals to the BMS or PLC. Zone labels should match the site drawing and response instructions.

• Select for the actual liquid, concentration, temperature and cleaning exposure. One sensor does not cover every liquid.
• Specify whether a zone alarm or location along the sensing route is required. Confirm the selected controller and interface.
• Review access, power, cable routes and restoration or replacement after exposure. Monitoring is not a safety shutdown function.

Included in the proposed package

• Sensing layout and zone plan
• Liquid-compatible sensing and controller selection
• Agreed local alarm configuration and functional test

What determines the project cost?

• Number of zones, sensing length, controllers, connectors and alarm devices.
• Installation access, mounting, cabling, power and the available work window.
• BMS/PLC point mapping, testing, documentation, training and separately quoted support.

Quoted as a package after scope review. Hardware, engineering, site work and any recurring charges are stated separately in the proposal. Final quantities, exclusions and deliverables are confirmed in the quotation.

How the pilot is checked

• Confirm sensor compatibility and the monitored routes against the agreed plan.
• Demonstrate controlled detection at labelled test points and confirm the correct operator alarm.
• Exercise the specified sensor-fault, communication-loss and power-loss behaviour.
• Record alarm acknowledgement, restoration and maintenance responsibilities.

Agree the acceptance criteria before work starts. A trial establishes the limits of the tested application.

Prepare a scope review

• Exact liquid and operating temperature
• Area layout, power and alarm interface

Technical references

Installation examples

Place sensing where a leak will collect or travel.

Tanks and chemical storage

Follow the likely spill path around tanks and containment edges.

Pumps and utility equipment

Cover the floor below pumps, valves and joints where liquid collects.

Pipe trenches

Route sensing beneath pipe runs along the collection path.

Equipment bases and drip trays

Place sensing at a tray’s low point or around the equipment base.

Choose your sensing approach

Share the liquid, concentration and temperature, sensing length, and whether you need a local alarm or central monitoring.
