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.

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.
Andel Floodline Leak Detection System
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.

Water leak detection systems provide essential area monitoring for data centres and raise an alarm in the incident of a water leak occurring.
Data Centres, Exchanges and Switch Centres provide a critical service relied upon by millions of subscribers in their day to day business and life. Continuity of service is not only essential to users but also vital in terms of revenue to their operators.
Data or communications centres are built to the latest designs employing up to the minute features and technologies. Mile upon mile of data, network and power cable is installed under raised access floors where it can be organised and routed safely out of sight.
This void also contains water service pipes feeding A/C units, toilets, kitchens and more, all of which could leak and cause damage to electrical systems. Water leak detection systems can provide an early warning to developing issues before damage can occur.
Andel Floodline leak detection systems are chosen as the best, most reliable and cost-effective option by many of the world’s most prestigious “blue-chip” organisations. In the UK companies such as BT, HSBC, Orange, Global Switch, ICM Group, Airbus Industries, Norwich Union, GSK, National Grid and many others are regular end users of Floodline leak detection systems.
Water Leak – A Major Downtime Threat For Data Centre Operators
Special leak detection cable or pad and point sensors are installed floor voids in a design or pattern to provide the best coverage. Pipe-joints and connections are particularly sensitive so sensors are clipped to the floor directly around the ‘footprint’ of each unit or beneath the whole length of pipe work. Point sensors can be targeted at specific items or areas.
Andel Floodline Leak Detection System
Where pipes run at high level or there are roof valley gutters and down pipes, drip trays are suspended below pipes and gutters with leak detection cable running the entire length or point sensors installed at a low end.
Andel’s leak detection systems can zoned to allow quick and accurate location of the leak. Below is an example of how leak detection zones can be designed.
Andel Floodline Leak Detection Sample Zone Diagram
Each A/C unit is allocated a separate ‘Zone’ and runs of water pipe are sub-divided into a number of ‘Zones’ usually 5-10m in length to help isolate the leak to a convenient length.
Point sensors are installed in plant rooms with solid floors to monitor for a build-up or ‘pooling’ of water from leaking equipment, water tanks, booster sets and pumps etc.
All areas are monitored either by individual local Floodline Control Panels or a centrally located Floodline Control Panel. Options include small, stand–alone systems or larger multi–zone control panels. All Floodline systems provide connections for the BMS or other remote monitoring via volt-free contacts or RS232/485 communication protocols.
Zoned leak detection systems are available for up to 128 zones and are flexible to allow for the monitoring of all areas of concern such as toilets, tea points, vending machines, water fountains, kitchens and services risers using the most suitable method for the area.

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.
Andel Floodline Leak Detection System
Floodline Control Panels can be used as a small stand-alone Single Zone system or form part of a larger Multi-Zone control panel system feeding back to a central BMS system using either volt-free contacts or RS232 Comms. T&C can provide design and supply service for Andel water leak detection systems.
Andel’s Floodline Leak Detection System flexibility makes it suitable for a range of different applications and therefore can also be installed in the following:
