Leak detection in the water distribution network
We help water utilities reduce their water losses and increase operational reliability. We specialize in detecting leaks in underground pipelines for both private customers, water utilities and utilities.
Professional leak detection and leak detectionis a central tool in the work of ensuring stable water supplies, reducing water loss and maintaining high operational reliability. At DWI, we work purposefully with leak detection in water supplies and pipeline networks, where both acute incidents and long-term efforts play a crucial role in economics, security of supply and documented reduction of NRW (Non-Revenue Water).
We combine technical expertise, advanced methods and many years of experience with leak detection on complex supply systems – and we always work with a focus on precise troubleshooting and qualified decision-making.
Everything from the small waterworks to the very large supplies
With us, you always get a tailor-made solution, and we cover everything from the small waterworks to the very large supplies in Denmark and worldwide. At DWI A/S you get the assurance of leak detection in drinking water pipes of the highest quality.
Acute leak detection and long-term review of wiring networks
Leaks occur both acutely and gradually. That is why we work with two parallel tracks:
Acute leak detection
In the event of breakages and sudden losses, we offer 24-hour service and quick response. Rapid location of leaks reduces waste, limits operational disruptions and minimizes excavation work and consequential damage.
Long-term network review
For many utilities, the greatest potential is not the acute breaks, but the hidden and ongoing water losses. Here we work with systematic reviews of entire supply networks – often as multi-year or rotating agreements – where we identify leaks, assess supply network structure and advise on future design with sectioning, stopcocks, loggers and monitoring.
This combination ensures both short-term operational reliability and long-term documentable NRW reduction.
Advanced methods for precise troubleshooting
We use a wide range of methods for leak detection and leak detection. The choice of method is always based on the structure of the system, available data and the specific problem.
We work with the latest technologies and methods within, among other things:
- Acoustic listening equipment
- Trace gas
- Advanced correlation equipment
- Data loggers and cloud-based analysis
The methods are primarily used for:
- Water supply network (drinking water)
- Industrial water and cooling systems, e.g. in hospitals and production plants
- District heating systems
- Sewage
- Private installations
Common to all tasks is that precision and documentation are crucial – both for the technical solution and for the subsequent decision-making process.
Precise leak detection in complex and critical systems
In many systems, the consequences of errors are far greater than the water loss itself. This applies, for example, to cooling systems in hospitals, industrial process plants and larger technical installations, where downtime can have serious consequences.
Here we work with special focus on:
- Operational reliability
- Redundancy and risk minimization
- Minimal impact on daily operations
Our approach is analytical and consultative – not just finding the leak, but understanding the system as a whole.
Financial and operational benefits of professional leak detection
Professional leak detection is not just about technology – it's about economics and management.
The benefits include, among others:
- Reduction of NRW over time and fewer operational disruptions
- Less acute water waste through rapid response
- Fewer and more targeted excavations
- Better documentation for boards, municipalities and regulatory authorities
- A stronger decision-making basis for investments in networks and surveillance
For many utilities, leak detection and leak monitoring is one of the most effective tools for achieving measurable improvements in operations and finances.
Tailor-made solutions for utilities, industry and private customers
No supply network is the same. That's why we always adapt our efforts to the specific task, regardless of whether it's urgent leak detection, systematic supply network review or advice on future structure and monitoring.
