Pipe-work Leak Detection

  JD7 have developed an internal pipe inspection system for small and large bore pipe systems. This system is extremely advanced in the way it can be utilised within live water mains. Benefits include inspection and leak identification with minimal or no disruption to customers or supporting systems.

Access through the smallest of hydrants is feasible with the camera configuration. This unique capability also allows up to 200m of pipeline to be inspected in any one run, accommodating 90 degree bends, valves and bore step changes.
  These systems were developed using live water mains for Balfour Beatty and Yorkshire Water. JD7 have developed video and ultrasonic systems for installation within live water mains. The systems can be passed through existing fire hydrants, therefore eliminating the need for excavation. Our ultrasonic systems allow full pipe work structural integrity to be analysed, identifying material defects and cracks. See press release for further information.

JD7 specialise in both wired and wireless camera systems, therefore our cameras may be used to retrieve inspection data on components or leaks situated in normally unobtainable locations.

Our site implementation team are qualified to identify the smallest of leaks with the inspection systems, allowing 100% accurate leak position identification. This accuracy eliminates dry hole digging, resulting in:
  • Less water loss through leaks
  • Fewer maintenance teams required
  • Significantly lower disruption
  • Improved timescales
  • Reduced penalties

For best results we recommend implementation by JD7 site engineers. We do offer equipment for lease/sale following introduction through a specifically structured training package.
