Why leak detection sensors?
- Direct detection of excavation damage
- Continuous monitoring of pipes during warranty period (and beyond)
- Savings of operational man-hours
- Reduced administrative burden (direct and automatic historical measurement reports incl. audit trail)
- Extended lifetime of pipes
- Less serious damages and lower damage costs
