Liner Leak Location Solutions for Industrial Ponds
Article by: Milan Calendine | hydroGEOPHYSICS
Leaks in industrial ponds are not just a potential hazard; they are an inevitability over the lifespan of most containment systems. At HydroGEOPHYSICS (HGI), we specialize in the most advanced Electric Leak Location method (ELL), which detects and addresses these vulnerabilities before they escalate into costly challenges.
Why HGI's Leak Detection Services Stand Out:
Three Decades of Expertise: With over 30 years of experience, HGI has been at the forefront of the liner leak location industry, ensuring that major industrial facilities operate within compliance and with maximum efficiency.
Innovative Non-Invasive Technology: Our approach allows for comprehensive surveys without the need to drain ponds or enter the water, using electrically-based geophysical methods that pinpoint leaks accurately from the pond's edge.
Customized Solutions: Each pond is unique, and so is our approach. Whether your pond is lined with HDPE, filled with solutions of varying conductivity, or even unlined, our flexible geophysical survey design can be tailored to meet the specific challenges of your site.
During a typical survey, we utilize specialized instrumentation and data processing software developed in-house to enhance the accuracy of our leak detection technology. Our technology allows us to deliver precise results with fewer false positives, ensuring you can swiftly address any detected issues. Our method is grounded in the principle that electrical currents will flow along pathways similar to water. Any breaches in the geomembrane will allow current to escape. When this happens, our resistivity equipment detects the area around a hole as a voltage anomaly. These anomalies are reviewed with priority technology to confirm the presence of leaks, allowing for a targeted and effective repair.
