Water Leak Detection at OXAGON, NEOM | Industrial & Marine Water System Inspection 2026
OXAGON is NEOM's industrial and logistics city on the Red Sea coast, home to one of the world's largest floating structures alongside advanced manufacturing facilities and a seaport. The nature of this coastal industrial site means two water systems effectively run in parallel inside the same facility: a drinking-water and domestic-use network for staff, and an industrial water circuit (cooling, manufacturing processes, fire suppression) kept fully separate from the first.
Why is it hard to diagnose an industrial leak at OXAGON from the bill alone?
The industrial water circuit (equipment cooling or process support) is usually metered separately from the domestic meter serving residential and administrative facilities, so a silent leak in an industrial cooling line can persist for a long time without ever showing up on the domestic water bill that facility staff typically monitor.
The difference between a domestic-network leak and an industrial-circuit leak at OXAGON
A domestic-network leak comes with a direct, noticeable rise in the residential and administrative utility bill, while an industrial-circuit leak only shows up through separate monitoring of the cooling tank level or process-line pressure, and may only be discovered when cooling efficiency drops or during routine equipment maintenance.
Our readiness to service OXAGON's water systems
We inspect the domestic network and the industrial circuit separately, using digital acoustic listening devices and thermal cameras rated for the industrial and salty marine environment, accounting for the electrochemical corrosion resistance needed for metal fittings exposed to salt-laden sea air. A precise electronic inspection, plus a documented technical report and a written warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about leak detection at OXAGON, NEOM
Because the cooling circuit or process-support lines are usually metered entirely separately from the meter serving residential and administrative facilities, so a silent leak there never registers on the domestic bill at all — it's typically only discovered through separate monitoring of the tank level or industrial line pressure.
Yes; we use acoustic listening devices and thermal cameras built to withstand surrounding industrial noise and the high humidity of salty marine air, while accounting for the possible electrochemical corrosion of metal fittings near the coast.
We recommend a regular inspection schedule kept entirely separate from monitoring the domestic water bill, because a gradual drop in the cooling circuit's tank level from a silent leak can go unnoticed for a long time if a facility relies only on tracking its domestic bill.
Yes, relatively; salt-laden marine air accelerates electrochemical corrosion of poorly protected metal fittings, especially at joints and exposed connections, which calls for more frequent periodic inspection compared with inland sites away from the coast.
