Underground Leak Detection in Bronx – Infrared Steam Leak Detection
BuildingTech’s Underground Leak Detection in Bronx NYC enables Bronx building owners to locate steam leaks in underground pipes and condensate lines. The large boiler heats several buildings with fill-monitoring systems to alert the facility manager or chief engineer when the boiler is taking in large amount of replacement water. This alert is often the first indication a property owner receives to indicate that there is an active leak somewhere in the system.
It is not unusual for a system with a steam leak to take in some quantities of water, sometimes hundreds of gallons per day. Replacement water comes into the boiler “cold” and needs to be heated by the boiler. Heating this constant flow of replacement cold water into steam increases gas or oil bill and decreases operational efficiency. Some times when the heating system is been turned off during the warm weather and start up the boilers leak can occur from thermal shock or expansion of the joint in the systems such as welded seams and corroded buried lines.
The infrared steam leak survey of underground lines can be conducted walk on, vantage point from top of surrounding building or aerially.
Our highly experience thermographer understands how to find steam leaks. We service all New York City boroughs Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and the state of New Jersey. We also travel to surrounding states.
Aerial Underground Leak Detection in Bronx – Steam System Surveys
High altitude, steam line inspections are one of the complex applications for the aerial infrared thermographers specialty. With inexperienced drone operators, just because they have an infrared imager on their drone, this doesn’t make them an expert. Ask if they can validate the training and expertise needed to understand and interpret the images properly – your money is on the line! The delta T contrast between active steam lines and the surrounding ground are usually noticeable. The reason for conducting these surveys is to detect and locate leaks. The terrain and weather conditions are important depending the time of the year along with other applications. Things to consider: trees and leaves, vegetation, summer vs fall or winter can impact the results.
