Leak Noise Correlation in Burnaby, BC

Serving Burnaby and the Metro Vancouver region

Mathematical calculation of leak position using two sensors placed at known access points along a pipe, measuring sound arrival time differential.

Leak noise correlation is the most mathematically precise method for locating leaks on continuous pipe runs. Two or more sensors are placed at accessible points along a pipe—such as hydrants, valves, or exposed stubs—connected to a correlator processor. The processor measures the time delay of the leak sound reaching each sensor and calculates the exact position of the leak along the pipe based on the pipe material, diameter, and sound velocity. This technology eliminates the need to follow a sound gradient and provides distance measurements from known reference points with accuracy typically within 30 cm over 1 km pipe runs.

Our technicians are experienced in applying Leak Noise Correlation 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.
