 Electrical leak location surveys

BHF Environmental has specialised in electrical leak location surveys since 1994.

To detect and locate leaks in plastic membranes, the company uses the GECO system. This application of geoelectrics is widely used as an effective tool in the process of Construction Quality Assurance in many countries, mostly for landfill liners.

With our GECO system the locating of any perforating damage to the geomembrane is rapid, accurate and cost effective. The system utilises the insulating properties of geomembranes. An electric current is applied across the protective layer placed over the membrane. Subsequently, the electric potential is mapped over the inspected area. Anomalies in electric field indicate geomembrane damage.

BHF environmental have personnel with extensive experience in this type of survey. The company has successfully completed more than 400 leak location surveys worldwide having received commissions from landfill owners, earthworks contractors, consultants and liner installers. Permanent systems are installed at over 100 sites worldwide
