Understanding the Issue
Commercial buildings are integral to the urban landscape, with ever-increasing floor plates and vertical growth emphasizing the proper use and disposal of water. However, this is easier said than done. Leakages in multi-use commercial buildings present unique challenges due to several factors:
Raised Platforms for Wet Rooms: Wet rooms are often on raised platforms, which complicates water management.
High Density of Plumbing Lines: The presence of numerous wet rooms and utilities results in a high density of plumbing lines.
Changing Locations of Wet Rooms: In leased spaces, the location of wet rooms can change, leading to inconsistent plumbing setups.
Raised Platforms vs. Sunk Slabs: Unlike specific pre-planned structures with wet areas and sunk slabs, raised platforms (often higher than 2") are used in core planning to accommodate services with the desired slope over large lengths.
High Pressure in Water Supply Lines: High-rise buildings with overhead tanks or pneumatic systems may experience uncontrolled high pressure in water supply lines, leading to spot leakages at concealed pipe joints.
High Drain Load in Commercial Kitchens: Offices, restaurants, and hospitals with commercial kitchens experience high drain loads at specific times, causing blockages that pressure on the joints within concealed drain lines.
Identifying the source of leakage requires a careful understanding of the affected area's leakage spots and patterns. Here's how we do it:
Layout Analysis: Study the layout of wet rooms and their services to pinpoint probable leak points.
Usage Pattern Study: Analysing usage patterns helps identify unusual water flow or pressure points.
Advanced Detection Techniques: Utilize thermal imaging, moisture level measurements, and ultrasound testing to locate hidden leaks.
By combining these methods, we ensure a precise and effective solution to your water leakage problems.
