Here’s what you need to know about our HCA leak detection offering
HCAs carry elevated environmental, safety, and reputational risk, where even small leaks can result in significant impact. Detection systems in HCAs must prioritize early detection, reliable alarms, and rapid response, not just volume accounting. Pipewise systems are designed to reduce detection time and false alarms in these high-stakes environments.
Yes. Many HCA segments, such as river crossings or remote corridors, lack full metering. Pipewise supports CPM-based detection where meters are available and stand-alone acoustic detection where they are not, allowing operators to maintain coverage without costly instrumentation upgrades.
Detection time depends on instrumentation and operating conditions, but Pipewise systems are designed to identify small, developing leaks within minutes rather than hours. Faster detection reduces spill volume, response time, and downstream environmental impact, critical factors in HCAs.
Pipewise applies transient-aware analytics to distinguish real leak behavior from operational changes such as pump activity, pressure fluctuations, or environmental noise. This minimizes nuisance alarms that can desensitize operators or trigger unnecessary shutdowns while maintaining sensitivity to real events.
Pipewise systems are designed to align with regulatory expectations for HCA monitoring. Detection logic, performance metrics, and alarm history are documented and accessible, providing audit-ready evidence that leak detection is active, validated, and properly maintained.
