Leak detection with sniffing dogs
The goal of every pipeline operator remains zero leakage. Leaks need to be detected at the earliest stage possible to prevent soil contamination.
Intero - The Sniffers offers a unique and highly effective method to detect leaks on buried pipelines: specifically trained dogs.
Our dogs locate gas leaks, oil leaks, leaks on oil-cooled high-tension cables, and illegal taps quickly, accurately, and efficiently. They pinpoint the exact leak locations, even in rural environments and hard-to-reach areas where it can be challenging to use measurement equipment. They have proven their capabilities many times.
Initially, Intero - The Sniffers started in 1991 by using dogs to detect leaks in chemical installations.
Leak detection with sniffing dogs
Detection of gas and oil leaks
Locating gas and oil leaks with equipment is expensive, time-consuming, and often impossible in remote areas. Our dogs locate these leaks accurately, even in rural environments or challenging conditions.
Leak detection on oil-cooled high tension cables
Detecting underground leaks with measurement equipment above ground is often quite difficult and time-consuming due to the rather heavy product composition of the insulating fluid. Our dogs detect these leaks fast and accurately.
Detection of illegal taps
Oil, ethylene, propane,... regardless of which valuable substance is flowing through your pipelines, illegal pipeline tapping is a major problem. Our sniffing dogs are specialized in locating illegal taps.
Leak detection with sniffing dogs
Case study
ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Ltd in Singapore used sniffing dogs to find leaks on underground road crossings.
Benefits
More accurate measurements
Compared to measurement equipment, dogs detect the smallest leaks on Parts Per Billion level and also the exact leak location.
Easy access to rural environments
Your pipeline infrastructure is easy to reach for sniffing dogs. Difficult weather conditions and dense vegetation are no longer issues.
Cost-effective detection method
Detect leaks earlier and choose for a proactive detection method.
