water leak detection systems
Water leaks can cause significant damage to buildings, electrical equipment, IT infrastructure, stock and other valuable assets. In many cases, a relatively small leak can remain unnoticed until substantial damage has already occurred.
At Argos Fire Protection, we supply and install Vimpex Identi-Leak Water Leak Detection Systems, providing continuous monitoring and early warning in areas where an escape of water could create a significant risk.
Using water detection cable, individual detection probes or a combination of both, systems can be designed around the specific risks and layout of your premises.
Vimpex Identi-Leak water detection
The Vimpex Identi-Leak system provides a flexible solution for detecting water at an early stage, allowing action to be taken before a minor leak develops into a more serious incident.
Systems can incorporate:
- Water detection cable
- Individual water detection probes
- Multiple detection zones
- Audible and visual warning devices
- Remote alarm indication
- Standby battery protection
- Building Management System (BMS) interfaces
- Automatic water isolation
The system can be configured to protect anything from a single vulnerable area through to multiple zones across a larger building.
Early detection & automatic water isolation
Early detection can significantly reduce the potential consequences of an escape of water.
When water is detected, the system can provide an immediate warning, allowing the source of the leak to be investigated and appropriate action taken.
Where required, Identi-Leak can also interface with other building systems and operate a solenoid valve to automatically isolate the water supply.
This can provide an additional level of protection in areas where an uncontrolled escape of water could result in significant property damage, equipment loss or disruption to business operations.
Where can water leak detection be used?
Water leak detection can be particularly beneficial in areas containing valuable equipment or where an escape of water may not be immediately visible.
Typical applications include:
- Data centres and server rooms
- Plant and boiler rooms
- Electrical and communications rooms
- Hotels
- Apartments and residential developments
- Hospitals and healthcare premises
- Care homes
- Schools and colleges
- Offices
- Museums, libraries and archives
- Historic buildings
- Lift shafts
- Raised access floors
- Ceiling and service voids
Systems for small & large applications
The Vimpex Identi-Leak range can be configured for both smaller and larger applications.
Compact systems are available for individual or localised risks, with 2, 4 and 8-zone systems available where multiple areas require protection.
Detection can be provided using point probes, linear water detection cable or a combination of both, allowing the protection to be tailored to the building and the risks present.
Water leak detection surveys
The most effective water leak detection system starts with identifying where water is present and where an escape of water could cause the greatest damage or disruption.
Our experienced team can survey your premises, identify vulnerable areas and recommend suitable detection methods and system zoning.
Where required, we can also consider BMS integration, remote notification and automatic water isolation as part of the overall system design.
