Damage and Leak Detection System

- To locate an exact source of damage and leak, a time domain reflectometer (TDR) is used. TDR is a low frequency pulse tester.
- The location of any damage or leak in water and wastewater pipelines can be detected by the analysis of wave forms in reflected pulse after pulse is transmitted by a reflectometer.

Features and benefits of the system

• Detect any damage of water, gas and oil pipelines
• Monitor any leak in water pipelines on a real-time basis
• Predict the possibility of leak in aged pipelines
• Estimate a proper time for replacement of aged or damaged pipes
• Monitor any damage that might be caused by other
  work process on a real time basis
• Monitor a segmented area when the entire pipelines
  are huge
• Identify the location of damage or leak by
  double-checking via the inspection hole
• Able to interact with GIDB being developed by local government offices

Customers

• Local government offices across the nation (Metropolitan and provincial governments)
• Korea Rural Commu nity Corporation, Korea Water Resources Corporation and Korea Land and Housing Corporation

FunctionaAl Water Pipes

- Water pipelines used for water storage (drinking water, agricultural water and wastewater) need to be coated to prevent rusting. However, coated pipes can turn into a source of bacteria as the inside of coated pipes is contaminated by foreign substances in water.
- This pipe product is designed to overcome such a problem by using yellow earth and anti-shock Nano-based coating material, which is antibacterial and improves surface illumination with the ability to emit far infrared ray and negative ion. This functional pipe will supply safe and healthy water.

New product

• Obtained K Mark , Keon Mark and NSF certificates for functional wire attached epoxy-polyethylene coated pipes. This new product is functional in supplying safe drinking water and preventing electric corrosion.
• Designated as best product
• N S F Certificate
• K Mark certificate
• Keon Mark certificate

Joint connection methods

• The conventional welded joint increases vulnerability to carbonization of the painted area due to welding heat. And rapid rusting results in leak and difficulties in separation and replacement of pipes.
  Also, the painted inner face of the pipes is not easy to repair, making the connection process slow. The joint connection method does not use welding, meaning that there is no possibility of carbonization. As rusting does not occur, it has a stronger durability against external forces and vibration. Since the method uses bolts and nuts to connect pipes, the connection process is rather easy.
