Scope
Live Water Pipe Assessment & Leak Detection
LAVA - Live Acoustic & Visual Assessment
PDS employs some of the world’s most state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Our small diameter short distance comprehensive inspection equipment has the capabilities for live visual condition assessment and leak detection. Our pressurized pipe inspection and leak detection system is designed for 3” diameter water pipelines and above. The system is mounted onto pipework through a hydrant or a selection of fittings and/or “Hot-Taps”. This process makes access into the pipeline simple and cost effective. Access is done while the pipe systems stays live and pressurized and can handle pressures as high as 150psi.
TPA - Tonal Pipe Assessment
Non-invasive, condition assessment & leak detection for in-service metal, plastic, asbestos cement, and concrete pipes. TPA can determine wall stiffness, thickness, and strength, as well as change of material and any large areas of tuberculation.
Construction and Development
PDS has over 30 years of vertical construction and civil construction experience. We have managed 20 plus development and subdivisions from the underground infrastructure to the finished commercial and residential vertical buildings.

Hands On
Comprehensive Live Pipe Assessment for Water Pipelines
Live Pressurized Inspection with no Interruption of Service
Leak Detection
With the use of super sensitive "Hydraphones" and a "Sonde" RFI signal, we can accurately pinpoint the location of a leak in little as 15PSI
Corrosion Assessment
Assessing the level of corrosion, giving life acceptancy of the pipelines,and helping in directing capital spending
Real-Time and Live Results
The data produced by our technology has many uses and can be invaluable. The data can be introduced into an existing GIS Program, “Scada” system or “GPS” program. It guarantees to locate a leak within 12 inches of its origin. It assesses the level of corrosion giving life acceptance of the pipelines and helping in directing capital spending. The videos and pictures this system provide are worth more than words. Each insertion produces vivid and HI-RES visuals and the hydaphones can hear a pinhole leak in as little as 15psi.
