Side-Scan Sonar for Submerged Leak Detection in Richmond, BC

Side-scan sonar is an underwater imaging technology used to locate leaks in submerged infrastructure. A sonar transducer is towed behind a boat or deployed from a structure, emitting acoustic pulses that reflect off the bottom and any objects or features. The returning echoes are processed to create a detailed image of the underwater environment. For leak detection, side-scan sonar can identify: water column disturbances from pressurized leaks, scour holes around leaking submerged pipes, structural damage to reservoir liners and dam faces, and debris or sediment patterns indicating chronic leakage. This technology is essential for inspecting BC's extensive network of reservoirs, dams, and marine infrastructure.
