InDepth Water Management was tasked with resolving a significant water leak affecting a residential development. The leak, emerging near a footpath, posed risks of water wastage, potential infrastructure damage, and inconvenience to residents. The project required precise leak detection, efficient repair, and seamless reinstatement of the disturbed area.
Inspection Highlights:
- Leak Location Identification: Advanced acoustic and tracer gas detection techniques were used to pinpoint the exact location of the leak beneath the footpath, avoiding unnecessary excavation.
- Condition Assessment: Once the leak was identified, our team inspected the surrounding area to assess the extent of damage to the pipeline and any potential risks to nearby infrastructure.
- Project Planning: A comprehensive plan was developed to minimise disruption and ensure a timely resolution. Equipment and materials, including a trailer with concrete mix, mixer, and cement, were collected in preparation for reinstatement work.
Solution
Excavation and Access: The team excavated the identified area with precision, exposing the damaged section of the pipeline without affecting the surrounding structures.
Pipe Repair: The compromised section was repaired using specialised fittings and sealing compounds to ensure a durable solution.
Ground and Footpath Reinstatement: Disturbed ground and concrete were reinstated using high-quality materials to match the original appearance.
Final Testing: The repaired pipeline underwent rigorous pressure testing to confirm the integrity of the repair.



Project Success
The project was completed successfully, restoring the water supply to the residential development without further disruptions. The footpath was reinstated to its original condition, maintaining the area’s aesthetic and functional integrity. By leveraging advanced detection techniques, detailed planning, and highquality repair methods, InDepth Water Management delivered a cost-effective and timely solution, ensuring client satisfaction and sustainable water management.
