Leak detection
Leak detection on plumbing installations
At the request of the management of the County Hospital “Dr. Mihovil Sučić ”Livno and the signed Agreement, by“ NMAqua ”s.p. Banja Luka, during April and May, fault detection works and tracing of the water supply installation within the hospital were performed. Due to the occurrence of enormous consumption, which in just seven days amounted to about 1413m³ or 202m³ / day, unlike the previous period when the average monthly consumption ranged between 760m³ and 820m³, we undertook under the Contract to detect failures and reduce consumption to the previous period. .
Tracing of a water pipe
Locating the location of the hospital installation
Considering that during the preparation for the execution of works, we received information about the non-existence of a precisely located position of the installation, it was necessary to do that part of the work as well.
In order to detect the uncontrolled leakage of water on the hospital's water supply network as accurately as possible, we first traced its position with precise location of certain points via GPS devices.
Locating the leak location
Testing and locating leak in the water supply network
After the exact position of the outer ring installations, as well as each position of the place where the installation entered the cliff, as well as the position of the part of the inner installations that was available for tracing, the loss was detected. After a detailed and extensive control, listening and testing of the water supply network with an acoustic sound detector - geophone, a fault was located in front of the hospital, which was located at the fork of the installation around the building.
Significant savings after fault repair
Due to the urgency and reduction of losses, and therefore financial costs, employees of the technical service of the Provincial Hospital "Dr. Mihovil Sučić ”Livno, very quickly approached the solution of the mentioned problem and excavation and elimination of the located fault.
By monitoring the continuous consumption after the elimination of the fault, it is evident that the situation in the supply of the hospital has normalized and the consumption has decreased compared to the previous period to an average of about 720m³/month. It is also important to note that according to the technical service, the pressure on the hospital's water supply network increased by an average of 1.5 bar, which greatly reduced the operation of pressure pumps for certain devices on the third floor of the hospital, which certainly reduces the cost of electricity. In order to complete the work on the works that were agreed in the contract with the County Hospital "Dr. Mihovil Sučić ”Livno, the GIS database was formed with its integration on the WEB platform.
