T&D – Andel Water Leak Detection Systems

• By Chris Dodds : estimated reading time 2 minutes

Water Leak Detection systems are often installed within Museums & Art Galleries to provide an early warning system before major damage can be caused to valuable and even priceless antiques and works of art displayed within the building.

In historic and heritage buildings, services such as heating & cooling pipework are difficult to maintain and therefore cannot be protected against serious or damaging leaks. Plant rooms, roof spaces and basements are considered to be the principal sources of leaks in these types of buildings. Leak detection systems can be used to continually monitor for the presence of leaks and raise an alarm for action to be carried out.

Water leaks cause downtime, disruption and destruction

Andel’s award winning Floodline Leak Detection equipment has been installed in many Art Galleries and Museums such as Tate (Britain & Modern), British Museum (Great Court), Manchester Museum and the National Museum of Scotland to protect against potentially damaging leaks from water services.

Andel’s leak detection equipment includes a full range of control panels, leak sensing cables and sensors which together forms a leak sensing zone around an area.

Leak sensing cable can be applied directly to pipes or run on, or behind, display cabinets.Where sensing cable could be damaged, Andel have a full range of Floodline sensors including point sensors to monitor the area.

Andel’s Control Panels are installed to suit the application, either small stand-alone single zone systems, or much larger multi-zone panels up to 128 zones, offering the capability for reporting back to central BMS monitoring systems using either volt-free contacts or RS232/485 Comms.
