Water utilities across Australia and New Zealand face increasing pressure to reduce water loss, improve asset performance, and extend the life of their infrastructure. One of the most critical challenges is the early detection and management of leaks in large water mains, also known as trunk mains.

These high-capacity pipelines transport massive volumes of water and, when compromised, can lead to significant water loss, property damage, and service disruption. This is where trunk main leak detection becomes not just beneficial—but essential.

At Aqua Analytics, we specialise in cutting-edge water loss management solutions. From acoustic leak detection to advanced data analytics, our services are tailored to help utilities accurately identify leaks in trunk mains before they escalate. As leaders in the field, we provide comprehensive support to water utilities, ensuring timely detection, reduced non-revenue water, and more efficient infrastructure management.

Why Trunk Main Leak Detection Is Critical

Unlike smaller service pipelines, trunk mains are often buried deep underground and can run through complex urban and industrial environments. This makes leaks harder to detect through conventional methods, allowing them to persist undetected for long periods. A leak in a trunk main can result in the loss of thousands of litres per hour—leading to costly repairs, water supply interruptions, and in some cases, structural damage to roads and properties.

Effective trunk main leak detection is vital for:

• Minimising water loss
• Improving network efficiency
• Preventing catastrophic failures
• Reducing operational costs
• Extending asset lifespan

Aqua Analytics: Your Partner in Trunk Main Leak Detection

At Aqua Analytics, we take a data-driven, proactive approach to leak detection. Our team combines deep industry knowledge with advanced technology to detect, locate, and assess leaks across complex trunk main networks.

Our Expertise Includes:

Smart Acoustic Monitoring

Using fixed and portable acoustic sensors, we continuously monitor water pipelines for the distinctive sound of escaping water. These tools are effective even in noisy, high-traffic areas.

Real-Time Data Analysis

Our remote monitoring solutions provide real-time insights into your network’s performance. By analysing flow, pressure, and sensor data, we can detect anomalies and pinpoint potential leaks quickly.

Specialised Trunk Main Services

Trunk main leak detection requires a specialised approach. Our experienced technicians are trained to work with large-diameter, high-pressure pipelines, ensuring precision and safety during all operations.

Non-Invasive Techniques

Our methods minimise disruption to communities, infrastructure, and the environment. Where possible, we deploy leak detection technologies that do not require excavation.

The Future of Trunk Main Monitoring

As urban centres expand and climate variability increases, the pressure on existing water infrastructure will continue to grow. Traditional, reactive maintenance models are no longer sufficient. The future lies in predictive, data-informed asset management—and trunk main leak detection is a foundational element of this shift.

By implementing intelligent monitoring and detection systems, water utilities can move from crisis management to proactive control, protecting valuable water resources and delivering greater value to the communities they serve.
