Ultrasound Feasibility Study

Ultrasonic waves will fill air voids but are largely obstructed by any solid material.

Estudio de caso

Using Ultrasound for Leak Detection on glazing and curtain walling systems

Sinopsis

Las ondas ultrasónicas llenan los vacíos de aire, pero son obstruidas en gran medida por cualquier material sólido. Si algún sello o junta de un sistema de revestimiento es defectuoso y puede dejar escapar agua, también dejará escapar ondas ultrasónicas.

Ultrasound is commonly used for detection of air & water leaks in the following situations: Shipping container and hatches, High Speed trains, luxury cars, heavy construction plant to reduce air leaks that can allow dust infiltration.

Al generar ultrasonidos en un lado de un sistema de revestimiento, Trace Surveys puede utilizar un sensor ultrasónico en el otro lado del revestimiento para detectar los puntos de fuga de ultrasonidos.

Formación

Al evaluar la viabilidad del uso de ultrasonidos para la detección de fugas en la fachada de edificios, dos miembros de nuestro equipo de topógrafos viajaron a SDT en Bélgica, donde se formaron y cualificaron como inspectores de ultrasonidos aerotransportados de nivel 1. El curso enseñó a nuestros inspectores la gama de aplicaciones en las que puede utilizarse el ultrasonido y cómo puede aplicarse eficazmente a esas aplicaciones.

Solicitud de construcción

Ultrasound is an extremely effective tool to detect leaks through glazed cladding systems. It can be used for construction phase integrity testing or reactive leak detection. It can also be used to determine air leakage paths when investigating odour issues.

“We have used Trace Surveys to investigate issues at one of the buildings I manage in Epsom. Dean and Luke have been extremely helpful throughout, demonstrating a high level of expertise and professionalism. They took the time to explain their findings clearly and provided a thorough and efficient service. I would not hesitate to recommend Trace Surveys and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

“We were at the end of out tether with a continuous and long running leak issue on a flat roof extension, including a series of 'fixes' that may have made things worse. Trace Surveys and our inspector Luke took a scientific approach to the problem and identified clearly several key issues and had the technology to see the impact of the test. The report was clear on what needed to be done and easy to pass on to the right tradespeople to inform a better conversation on how to fix the issue. Luke Winconek was excellent, from his skill, manner and aftercare on how this issue is being resolved. I would recommend Trace Surveys and Luke in particular if you get to the point of needing to identify a complex issue and properly get to the root cause.”

“I honestly can’t recommend Trace Surveys highly enough. From the first enquiry through to completion, the entire process was handled professionally, efficiently, and with real attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout, no chasing, no confusion, just straightforward, honest advice and delivery exactly as promised. The quality of insoection is excellent. Everything was completed to a very high standard, on time, and with obvious a full detailed report. The team were punctual, respectful, and left everything clean and tidy, which makes a huge difference. They found a leak that others have looked for for years previous. What really stood out was their knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile. Any questions were answered thoroughly, and nothing felt like too much trouble. We now only use trace!”
