Commercial & Industrial High-Pressure Leak Detection

When buried mains or long industrial pipelines spring a leak, guesswork is the last thing you want. That’s where Tweed Heads Leak Detection steps in—offering high-pressure leak testing across the Tweed Coast using Atlas Copco compressor systems designed for accuracy and speed.

Our setup delivers consistent, high-volume air pressure into sealed systems to locate faults fast—without ripping up asphalt, concrete or large infrastructure.

We work with clients across the commercial, industrial and government sectors, delivering smart, safe and site-ready testing for even the most complex projects. From council water mains to fire lines in high-risk zones, we help reduce waste, downtime and unnecessary excavation. If you’re dealing with suspected water loss or inconsistent flow rates in your network, we’re equipped to respond quickly and get the job done right.

How High-Pressure Leak Detection Works

High-pressure leak detection relies on consistent air delivery to identify pressure changes or sound anomalies that flag an issue. We use an Atlas Copco compressor with a 450cfm output, capable of maintaining airflow through large-diameter pipelines and extended mains.

Once the pipeline is sealed, pressurised air is introduced to isolate sections and monitor system response. Technicians use specialised acoustic equipment to track leaks, listening for faint hissing or turbulence that reveals even the smallest breaches.

In some cases, flow meters and pressure gauges are also used to track inconsistencies in system performance. This approach is ideal for testing water mains, fire mains and sealed reticulation systems—whether above or below ground.

Unlike water-based pressure tests, this method keeps the site dry and safe, making it suitable for hospitals, process facilities or areas under traffic control. Everything is done from a mobile setup, mounted to our truck, so we can be on-site and operational quickly with minimal disruption to surrounding infrastructure or operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is high-pressure leak detection and how does it work?
High-pressure leak detection involves injecting compressed air into sealed pipelines or water mains and monitoring for pressure drops, sound anomalies or flow inconsistencies.

Technicians use acoustic devices and gauges to pinpoint the exact location of leaks. This non-invasive method avoids flooding or excavation and is ideal for sealed, pressurised systems in commercial or industrial environments.

It’s especially effective in situations where traditional water-based testing isn’t feasible, such as in hospitals, airports and fire mains.
What types of infrastructure benefit most from high-pressure leak testing?
This type of testing is ideal for large-scale or high-pressure systems, such as council water mains, fire lines, highways, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools and industrial plants.

Any environment where rapid, non-destructive leak detection is required can benefit. It's particularly helpful for detecting faults in systems that must stay dry during testing or operate under safety-critical standards.
How accurate is high-pressure leak detection compared to traditional methods?
High-pressure testing is extremely accurate, particularly when paired with acoustic leak detection equipment.

Unlike older methods that rely on flooding systems and watching for visible leaks, this technique can identify even tiny pressure drops or internal faults. This means faster results, reduced guesswork, and fewer unnecessary excavations.

Accuracy improves system diagnostics and helps prioritise repair work effectively.
Is high-pressure leak detection safe for old or fragile pipes?
When carried out by professionals, high-pressure testing is adjusted to suit the condition of the infrastructure. Technicians select appropriate pressure levels to avoid over-stressing older or fragile pipes.

The process is designed to test safely and within the system’s limitations. If pipes are too delicate, alternative testing methods such as thermal or ultrasonic detection may be recommended.
