Acoustic Leak Correlation in Burnaby

Cross-correlation is the gold standard for locating leaks on pressurized water mains. Two synchronized sensors at known points on a line pick up the leak signature; the correlator computes the time delay between them and resolves the leak position to within a metre or two on a buried main. We operate correlators across copper, ductile iron, cast iron, PVC and HDPE mains for municipalities, utilities, industrial facilities and large commercial properties. Each survey is delivered with the raw correlation data, sensor placement, and a clear locate mark on site.

What acoustic leak detection typically finds in Burnaby

Common-property mains in older wood-frame stratas, distribution leaks along arterial corridors.

Burnaby's built environment — concrete high-rises around Metrotown/Brentwood, 1960s–80s single-family residential, light-industrial in Big Bend — shapes how acoustic leak correlation is delivered locally. Burnaby's split personality — rapidly densifying tower districts in Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed alongside long-established residential pockets — means leak detection here ranges from 50-storey concrete inspections to mid-century bungalow plumbing.

Who uses acoustic leak correlation in Burnaby

Three sectors, one standard:
