Services that deliver results
Our combination
of state-of-the-art sonic equipment and years of extensive field experience makes
SAMCO the leader in the field of leak detection.  Acoustic
Leak Detection
Equipped with sensitive listening
devices and headphones, SAMCO technicians identify the sounds of leaking water,
which enable us to identify and pinpoint the source so you can reduce water losses.
 Visual
Leak Detection
Walking and visually inspecting
a water system is mandatory, as undetected leaks in remote areas can cause emergencies.
When we find surface water in the area of the water system, we conduct chlorine
and fluoride tests to differentiate it from water originating from springs, rain
water or ground water.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Services
 
SAMCO technicians use highly accurate Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and state-of-the-art acoustic equipment to find subsurface leaks. They are able to detect and locate the smallest of leaks and other sources of water loss for water systems anywhere in the world. Once the acoustic field detection and location work is completed, it is imported into the Geographic Information System (GIS) for display and analysis. SAMCO works to halt and prevent water loss, so towns, cities, rural communities, MUD Districts, military bases and even remote islands can begin a more successful program to improve their overall lifestyle through water conservation. While SAMCO is acoustically inspecting the water system, field staff can collect valuable sub-thirty centimeter accurate geographic information which can be incorporated into new maps and new or existing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications. The use of GIS allows for capital improvement planning, GASB response, maintenance & leak repair planning, emergency preparedness & response planning, and customer service improvement just to name a few .   
  
  
  
  
  
Water
Audits
A Water Audit is a comprehensive approach
to determining the performance and water efficiency of a water utility. Investigation
of accountability involves measuring assets (in this case, the water supply) and
liabilities (the amount of water used by the utility and consumers) as well as
billing, metering, and records. Analyzing the results of a water audit leads to
the development of programs that increase the accuracy of water meters, locate
visible and non-visible leaks, and track previously unmetered uses.
Water
audits can be tailored to fit any size system. An inexpensive audit can be done
for small systems to determine an approximation of water loss. A more detailed
(but more expensive) water audit can be performed to develop a program for planning
operations, growth, finances, and staffing "Best Management Practices." |
