Pond Leak Detection
Industrial Pond Liner Leak Location
We locate leaks in lined containment ponds without draining or disrupting operations. Our geophysical technology maps breaches in HDPE and other liner systems, helping you maintain compliance, prevent contamination, and protect the surrounding environment.
Pond Leak Detection
Turning Data Into Action
Our geophysical surveys measure electrical pathways through your liner to detect where fluid escapes through breaches. Using specialized cable arrays deployed across the pond surface, our field teams collect data that reveals defect locations in HDPE and other liner materials. You receive a detailed map showing precisely where repairs are needed, along with supporting data for regulatory documentation. This enables fast, targeted fixes that minimize fluid loss, reduce downtime, and mitigate environmental risk.
Pond Leak Detection
Protecting Operations
Undetected leaks in lined containment ponds can lead to product loss, regulatory penalties, and environmental contamination. We identify breaches quickly and safely, without draining the pond or requiring personnel to enter the water. Our technology works effectively even in challenging conditions, including process water, pregnant leaching solutions (PLS), and highly conductive fluids. Early detection enables you to address issues before they escalate, maintaining compliance and protecting your infrastructure. This proactive approach minimizes downtime, reduces remediation costs, and prevents the operational disruptions caused by liner failures.
Pond Leak Detection
Actionable Data You Can Trust
Our leak location surveys deliver actionable intelligence, not just data. Each project delivers a map that identifies leak locations, allowing you to plan targeted repairs and prevent unnecessary shutdowns. We complete surveys quickly without halting operations or draining the pond, minimizing downtime and cost. Our geophysicists interpret results and deliver clear, actionable reports you can act on immediately. The outcome is a compliant liner system and confidence that your pond infrastructure is performing as designed, protecting your operations and the environment.
Pond Leak Location Services
Industrial Liner Leak Location Services
Explore our complete leak detection capabilities. We locate breaches safely and efficiently, without draining ponds or disrupting operations, delivering the precision data you need to protect your operations and the environment.
Bare liner leak location identifies breaches in newly installed geomembranes before they become a problem, ensuring containment integrity and supporting compliance during construction quality assurance. Early detection prevents costly repairs, operational delays, and environmental risks down the line.
Soil-covered liner and leach pad surveys locate leaks hidden beneath waste, ore, or soil, without excavation or operational disruption. We verify containment integrity in active systems, helping you maintain production, reduce environmental risk, and stay compliant across mining, landfill, and industrial contaminant operations.
Assurance monitoring continuously verifies your containment system’s integrity, detecting leaks early without disrupting operations. Our ongoing surveys give you real-time confidence that your infrastructure remains secure and compliant. This proactive approach reduces emergency repairs, lowers maintenance costs, and protects the environment before small issues escalate into major problems.

Common Questions
Explore answers to the most frequently asked questions about our leak detection and monitoring services to help protect your lined systems, minimize downtime, and maintain regulatory confidence.
We work with all types of lined systems, from process ponds and wastewater basins to tailings storage and evaporation ponds. If it’s lined to hold liquid, we can check it for leaks.
No. We prefer ponds to be at full capacity. A full pond improves survey accuracy, as leak location only occurs below the waterline. Surveys are done with water or solution still in the pond, which means no downtime and no disruption to operations.
We routinely survey double-lined and soil-covered systems. Our technology adapts to your specific pond construction, we’ll work with you to understand the configuration and deploy the right approach. Whether your liner is doubled-lined or soil covered we will find your leaks.
You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-read summary showing where leaks were found, supported by maps, images, and recommendations for next steps.
