Leak Location Services

The electrical leak location method is a powerful tool used to detect electrical paths through leaks in a geomembrane liner. A voltage is applied to an electrode placed in the soil or water covering the liner and to an electrode placed in the leak detection zone for double-lined systems or connected to earth ground for single-lined systems. Because the geomembrane liner is an electrical insulator, current will flow only through leaks in the liner. This current produces localized anomalous areas of high current density near the leaks. Leak Location Projection

Damage caused by heavy machinery while installing earth materials on geomembranes is the most significant cause of damage to geomembranes. A geoelectric leak location survey of the soil-covered geomembrane of a newly constructed landfill is a very cost-effective method for finding leaks that occur while placing a protective soil cover over the geomembrane liner.

Leak Location Testing

In addition to manual leak location surveys, an Electrical Leak Imaging and Monitoring (ELIM) system can be permanently installed to monitor for leaks in the landfill liner. The ELIM system uses a series of electrodes placed on top of or underneath the geomembrane liner during liner installation. The electrodes are connected to an instrument panel used to make the electrical measurements. A data acquisition system collects and stores the data. The data is processed using advanced mathematical computer algorithms to calculate and display the positions of the leaks. ELIM System

 A Deep Water Survey was performed on a double-lined brine pond with a geonet between the secondary and primary geomembranes.  The pond was approximately 19,000 meters in size.The pond was surveyed at full capacity with 52,000 cubic meters of solution in the lined area.  During the survey, brine water was placed between liners in order to have an electrical media above and below the primary geomembrane being surveyed.
