Hydrophone Inspections in Burnaby

Large-diameter and long-run transmission mains often defeat surface acoustic methods — the signal simply doesn't reach the surface clearly enough. Insertable hydrophone arrays attach inside the line through existing fittings and tow through the main, capturing the leak signature directly inside the water column. We perform these inspections for water utilities and industrial facilities with mains too long, deep or large for conventional correlation. Deliverables include the leak locations on a referenced site plan plus the raw acoustic data for engineering review.

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 hydrophone inspections 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.
