Satellite Leak Detection (Remote Sensing) in Burnaby, BC

Serving Burnaby and the Metro Vancouver region

Satellite-based radar and thermal imaging that detects underground leaks across large geographic areas — ideal for municipal pipeline networks.

Satellite leak detection uses advanced remote sensing technology to identify underground water leaks across large geographic areas. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites scan the earth's surface and detect minute changes in soil moisture content, vegetation stress patterns, and ground surface deformation that indicate underground water leaks. The satellite imagery is processed using proprietary algorithms that identify leak signatures — areas where escaping water has altered the surface characteristics. This technology can survey hundreds of kilometres of pipeline network in a single pass, providing a cost-effective screening tool for municipalities before deploying ground-based detection crews for confirmation. While satellite detection does not provide the precise location needed for excavation, it identifies suspect zones that can be efficiently investigated with acoustic methods.

Our technicians are experienced in applying Satellite Leak Detection (Remote Sensing) 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.
