Tools we use in Yanbu
| Tool | What it finds | When we use it in Yanbu |
|---|---|---|
| Ground microphone and contact listening | The sound of water escaping under pressure in walls and floors | Limits: weaker with background noise and deep lines |
| Documented tank level test | Level drop in numbers against time | Limits: filling and use must stop for a while |
| Pressure test and line isolation | Which line (hot/cold, floor by floor) loses pressure | Limits: needs working valves to isolate lines |
| Meter test with all use stopped | Whether water is being lost after the meter | Limits: does not locate the leak by itself |
The steps in order
- Network survey: Risers, tanks and floor branches are listed first.
- Isolating floors: Floors are isolated one by one to locate the loss.
- Listening on the risers: Acoustic checks along the vertical lines.
- Facility report: Positions and priorities for the owner or facility manager.
