Advantages of a leak detection van
Improving work efficiency Analysing data in the field
An important advantage of a leak detection van is that you always have all necessary Another decisive advantage of a leak detection van is the ability to analyse data directly

General features All SebaKMT leak detection vans have three fully separated compartments: driver, office (middle section), and equipment compartment (rear section). This transforms the vans into real mobile leak detection departments. The vans have heat-insulated walls and ceilings for an improved working environment. Wooden flooring with robust PVC covering ensures that the floor of the van is ready for sustained heavy use. Office compartment The office compartment of the leak detec- tion van is separated by a partition wall from both the driver’s cabin and the equipment compartment. An L-shaped desk and a bolt- ed swivel chair are fitted into the compart- ment so that it has all amenities of a normal office and work in the field can be carried out under excellent labour conditions. The inbuilt aluminium shelves give ample room for storing all items needed in an office. If a pressure and flow monitoring circuit has been built into the van, then all measure- ment data can be sent directly to the office compartment via radio communication. Equipment compartment The entire equipment compartment is made of washable and robust material. High-qual- ity aluminium shelving provides sufficient room for all leak detection equipment. Pow- er plugs are available so that instruments can be charged whilst stored in the equip- ment compartment. The extra lighting that is built into the van ensures that there is al- ways enough light available.
Optional features Inbuilt pressure and flow monitoring circuit A water circuit equipped with a flow meter and a pressure gauge is built into the van. Wa- ter from the network can then be diverted through the circuit enabling the measurement of pressure and flow in the field. The rear doors of the van have openings so that hoses can be attached from a hydrant to the water circuit without having to keep the doors open. In this way overnight measurements (e.g. minimum night flow) can be performed without security concerns, because the van is completely closed. All measured pressure and flow data is stored in a data logger that can be read-out from the office compartment via radio communication. Power management system The power management system is recommended for vans with an inbuilt water circuit so that long measurements of flow and pressure in the field can be performed without power problems. The rechargeable batteries of the system are automatically charged when the van is in motion. The system supplies power to all leak detection instruments, the equip- ment in the office compartment and the lights in the van. Inbuilt pressure and flow monitoring circuit with booster pump In areas of the water network with low pressure it can be difficult to detect leaks. A wa- ter circuit with inbuilt booster pump can solve this problem by temporarily increasing the pressure in the network. Thereby leaks become louder and easier to detect using acoustic instruments, such as correlators and ground microphones. Power generator options If the inbuilt water circuit is equipped with a booster pump then an underfloor generator is needed to supply enough power. For a van without booster pump a normal inbuilt gen- erator is sufficient.
