Transmission Main Leak Location
(Sahara)
The tether-controlled Sahara® sensor inside a pipeline pinpoints even the smallest leaks in water mains.
Without any disruption to pipeline service, Sahara® can be used in any pipeline 12” diameter or larger of any material to:
- Verify hydraulic integrity. Sahara has proven so sensitive that it has been accepted as assurance of zero leakage;
- Assess the condition of critical pipes. Pipes leak before they fail. Sahara can detect leakage from the hairline cracks,
corrosion pinholes, and leaking joints that are a the early warning signs of pipe failure;
- Pass a pressure test. Sahara locates elusive leaks, helping contractors pass hydrostatic pressure tests quickly;
- Reduce non-revenue water. Utilities have used Sahara to recover as much as 17,000,000 Gallons per day of non-revenue water;
- Set a higher bar for new pipelines. Utilities are specifying Sahara surveys on new pipelines to pinpoint even the small
leaks considered acceptible in a hydrostatic pressure test.
- Map your pipeline. Sahara provides the above-ground location of a pipeline to within inches, allowing for accurate location of buried
assets;
