T&D – Andel Water Leak Detection Systems
Water leak detection systems are specified in many apartments and industrial conversions to prevent damage from leaking pipework, bathrooms, kitchens and water heaters.
The latest apartment development to have Andel Floodline Leak Detection equipment installed is Victoria Mills; a luxury apartment complex in Shipley, West Yorkshire UK.
The water leak detection system will help to restrict flood or leak damage by checking all newly installed hot and cold wet services within the building.
Water Leak Detection For Apartments Using Andel Floodline Panels & Cables
Andel Floodline Leak Detection cables and systems are required to help minimise the risk of a water leak in each apartment. Alarm warnings help to contain leaks. A leak in a high level apartment could cause devastating consequences. The modern apartment designs include suspended floors with water and electric and gas services within the floor void to further reduce the risk in bathrooms, W/C’s, kitchens and water heaters.
Systems can be installed within the floor void directly beneath the water services pipework, bathrooms, kitchens etc.
If needed each area can be allocated it’s own zone. Fitting an Andel Floodline Leak Detection System can prevent major damage, disruption and costly compensation claims – T&D can design and supply Andel water leak detection systems.
Andel Floodline Leak Detection System
Each apartment can be fitted with a local Floodline One Zone Control Panel, or the whole building can be monitored by a centrally located Floodline Multi – Zone Control Panel.
Andel Floodline Leak Detection Systems provide unmatched value, reliability and are easy to install, simple to use and, above all, dependable.

Infra-Red Detection Prevents Fire At Waste Recycling Plant
Infra-Red Detection At Waste Recycling Plant
The vital role that infra-red transit heat sensors can play in protecting waste management sites from the threat of fire has been illustrated by an incident at a dry mixed recycling (DMR) plant.
Waste recycling can be rather unpredictable due the wide spectrum of materials that is needed to be processed. In this instance a 18v lithium ion battery was shredded. This caused the battery to arc.The battery was carried into a dosing bunker where it continued to spark as a result of no protection being fitted to the shredder feed. This ignited some of the flammable materials within the bunker, resulting in a series of small smouldering fires.
A company specialising in fire protection had thankfully installed fire protection measures. This particular company operates within the recycling and waste management industry and has a wealth of experience in environments where there could be potential fire safety challenges.
It was recommended that on this particular site that an infra-red transit heat sensor was installed from industrial fire protection specialist Patol. This proved to be an insightful choice since, as there were no flames in the dosing bunker, the flame detectors and water deluge protection system in the bunker did not activate as the heat generated by the sparking of the battery and the smouldering nature of the fires it generated had insufficient energy. However, on the dosing bunker outfeed, where an incline conveyor carries materials away from the bunker, the infra-red transit heat sensor was installed to provide additional detection. As soon as the battery passed onto the conveyor, the risk was detected and the connected water deluge system activated to extinguish the fires.
The Marketing Manager of the fire protection company comments – “this decision to provide what is effectively ember/spark detection was the difference between this being a minor incident that was automatically dealt with effectively and what could easily have turned into a major fire. If the Infra-Red Heat Detectors had not been in place, the battery would have passed into the ballistic separator, and then subsequent separators, with the potential to result in a serious fire in one of the final storage bunkers when it came into contact with the material stockpile.”
Steve Wilder is a Project Engineer with Patol and adds – “waste management process lines are particularly high risk when it comes to fire. Over a period of just 3 years, an average of more than 300 fires a year were recorded in UK waste and recycling plants and that is a conservative estimate as many smaller incidents go unreported. As these plants are dirty and dusty environments, our infra-red transit heat sensors feature air purging from either a compressor or a blower. This maintains a positive air pressure across the sensor window to prevent dust settling and impairing performance.”

Coal Conveying Applications
Industrial fire detection specialists Patol have demonstrated the particular suitability of their transit heat sensor to coal conveying applications with a new video shot at Wales’ last remaining coal fired power station.
Patol’s 5000 series of early warning infrared transit heat sensors are protecting the conveyors at Aberthaw power station, in the Vale of Glamorgan. The coal-fired facility has a capacity to generate 1,500MW of electricity – sufficient to meet the needs of some 1.5 million people, so protecting the site’s coal conveyors from the threat of fire is fundamental to maintaining security of supply.
Steve Wilder is a Project Engineer and in the new video he takes the viewer into the heart of the power station to show the conveyors and how they carry the coal from rail delivery and feed it into the boilers serving the site’s three generating units.
Steve shows a sensor unit sited a metre above the conveyors, one of several sensors located at the Head and Tail end of each conveyor. The sensors are designed to pick up a heat signature from the coal passing through their field of vision beneath by identifying any ‘hot spots’.
This is well before any potential sparks or embers are present, enabling the all-important early intervention in a combustible environment. In the event of a sensor going into alarm, the conveyor stops and sprinklers are automatically activated to douse the affected area and prevent the danger passing further into the facility and causing more serious damage.

T&D – Andel Water Leak Detection Systems
Many historic and heritage buildings have Andel’s Floodline Leak Detection System installed to help prevent possible damage due to leaks from water services. Buildings such as Houses of Parliament, St. James Palace, Buckingham Palace, British Library, Windsor Castle, Marlborough House and Peterhouse College have had the Floodline system installed.
Historic and heritage buildings usually require extra protection against water leaks as older heating and cooling pipework and plant rooms often haven’t been installed correctly.
Water Leak Detection For Historic & Heritage Buildings Using Andel Floodline Panels & Cables
Water leak detection systems are installed within buildings to help restrict damage and keep disruption and loss to a minimum. This is crucial in these types of buildings as a lot of items are invaluable and often irreplaceable. The Andel Floodline range helps also to protect the structure of the buildings by providing an early warning signal.
Modern installations can be problematic in older buildings but the flexibility of the Floodline systems make it easy to set up. The water leak detection systems are sympathetically designed so the modern equipment doesn’t impact upon historic or traditional design and the wide range of leak sensors help to keep the buildings protected.
