Phonon leak localisation system
A mobile surface-acoustic survey system designed to use synchronised measurements, measured sensor geometry and onboard processing to identify a practical leak location or region.
Quiet-hour automated surveying
Operation can be scheduled into periods with lower traffic noise and lower water usage, making the survey window more favourable for acoustic measurements.
Evidence pack for field teams
Survey results can be stored with location data, photographs, acoustic recordings and metadata so crews have useful context before opening the road.
Survey workflow
Designed around a repeatable automated measurement cycle.
Move
Vehicle/trailer and movable sensor platforms travel to a survey point.
Contact
Acoustic sensors are brought into contact with the surface.
Measure
The system determines the acquisition geometry of the sensor array.
Record
Sensors capture contemporaneous acoustic recordings for local processing.
Localise
The onboard processor produces a leak location or reviewable survey result.
Why this is different
Direct localisation instead of rough indication.
Many monitoring tools are designed to narrow the search. Phonon is designed to automate more of the final pinpointing step by using multiple surface measurements in a known, measured geometry.
