Leak detection in East Jutland
Cities are growing faster than pipes are being replaced
Along the East Jutland motorway, new residential areas are springing up year after year, and each new subdivision is connected to mains that were in many cases laid generations ago. More water through older pipes increases the load – and thus the likelihood of leaks that never reach the surface.
DWI A / S performs leak detection in East Jutland for water supplies of any size and for commercial customers with their own networks. Our operators locate the leak so precisely that excavation work can be kept to a minimum.
Leak detection in East Jutland requires attention to pressure
The landscape of East Jutland is hilly, and this is felt in the pipeline network. The pressure varies with the terrain, and a leak behaves very differently, depending on whether it is located in a high-altitude zone with low pressure or at the bottom of a river valley, where the pressure is pressing. The sound changes, the outflow changes – and thus also the choice of method.
Our operators read the pressure conditions of the network before listening begins. Acoustic equipment and correlation measurement handle most localizations, while tracer gas is used where the leak is too weak to be heard. The choice is made on site, based on what the measurements show.
Leak detection in East Jutland – from the large supply to the waterworks on the hill
East Jutland has many water supplies, and a large number of them are small: waterworks where operation and management are shared by a few people, and where a systematic leak detection can rarely be handled internally. We help them with reviews on a measured scale that the economy can bear.
At the other end of the spectrum, we work with larger utilities on recurring network reviews, where water loss is calculated per zone and efforts are prioritized where the loss is greatest. Both are the same craft – the difference lies in the scope.
Are the wiring plans consistent with the ground?
Many East Jutland networks have been expanded in stages over decades, and the documentation has not always kept up. Before we listen, we therefore like to determine the actual pipe route with wire search – because no matter how precise a measurement is, it is of no use if it is attributed to a pipe that is three meters further away than assumed.
Why leak detection in East Jutland pays off when cities grow
More customers in the network means more production, and with it the price of every percent of water that disappears along the way increases. NRW – Non Revenue Water – eats away at the operating budget silently, and without precise localization, the bill ends up including excavation work in the wrong places. A targeted effort therefore typically pays off in the first financial year – in saved water and saved contractor time.

Loggers cover the stretches no one else gets to
Between the cities, long supply lines run through open country, where a break can last for weeks without anyone noticing. Permanent data loggers listen online 24/7, and via The HydrantAI platform The measurements are collected in one overview with automatic alerts in case of deviations. This also monitors the kilometers that no human passes daily.

Equipment, service and courses from the same supplier
DWI is an authorized distributor of professional search equipment, including Gutermann, and offers both purchase and leasing with subsequent service. If you want to build up the competence internally, DWI Leak Academy teaches in wire and leak detection in basic courses, which alternates between theory and exercises on the test track.
We already solve tasks throughout the region – including Horsens, Vejle, Silkeborg and Randers.
Yes, from Randers in the north to Vejle in the south – and we are nationwide if your network reaches further.
Often the same day. The emergency telephone number is +45 70 23 98 98.
Yes. We scale the inspection according to the size of the network, and even a single localized leak can cover the cost in saved water waste.
Pressure conditions change the sound pattern of the leak, so we map the pressure of the zone before selecting the method. It is part of the task, not an add-on.
Yes – data loggers with automatic alerts can be permanently installed in the network and supplemented with reviews as needed.
