From detection to excavation, closed-loop field work.
Water-loss detection by acoustic listening on the Fatsa drinking-water network and confirmation of the located points by excavation; autumn-season field work.
- Method
- Acoustic listening + correlation
- Verification
- Point confirmation by excavation
- Record
- Coordinates + photo + sound level
The work
Suspect mains were listened to by day and night; the points narrowed down by correlation were marked. Each located point was confirmed by excavation during repair and the leak position was verified.
Result
The confirmed points were repaired by the municipality's crews; the coordinated fault records were entered into the GIS environment.

Result
Detection is completed by excavation.
However good the acoustic point, the cycle closes with repair and a post-repair check listen.
