Commercial / Industrial Water Pipeline Investigation
Underground Water Pipe Leak Investigation in Putrajaya
An earlier shallow excavation showed water but did not expose the damaged pipe. The approximately 100 mm HDPE pipe was about 2 metres below ground.
- Location
- Putrajaya, Malaysia
- System / property
- Institutional complex
- Main investigation method
- Acoustic ground microphone
- The Result
- Visible water may travel away from the damaged pipe. Deeper pipelines often require comparison at several accessible points. Pipe material, pressure, soil, access and background noise can affect the findings. A structured investigation can help reduce unnecessary excavation. The exact pipe condition is confirmed only after the pipe is exposed.
Fire Hydrant Pipeline Investigation

- System / property
- Electronics manufacturing facility
- Main investigation method
- Acoustic ground microphone
