Acoustic Data Logging for Long-Term Monitoring in Burnaby, BC
Deployment of acoustic data loggers that record sound pressure levels over extended periods to identify developing leak patterns.
Acoustic data logging involves deploying sensitive sound-recording devices at strategic locations within a water system for extended monitoring periods — typically 7-30 days. These battery-powered loggers continuously record ambient sound levels, capturing acoustic data at programmed intervals (typically every 15-30 minutes). The recorded data is downloaded and analysed to identify patterns that indicate developing leaks: increases in baseline sound levels that correspond to system pressure changes, sounds that occur during quiet nighttime hours when legitimate consumption is minimal, and acoustic signatures characteristic of specific leak types. This long-term monitoring approach is particularly valuable for identifying intermittent leaks that may not be active during a single acoustic survey visit, and for establishing baseline acoustic conditions for future comparison.
Our technicians are experienced in applying Acoustic Data Logging for Long-Term Monitoring in Burnaby and across the Metro Vancouver region. We have the equipment, training, and local knowledge to deploy this method effectively for your specific situation.
