Airport Hydrant
Fuel Systems
Most modern airports depend on miles of direct buried fuel piping loops to distribute millions of gallons of fuel to airliners daily from the terminal aprons. An undetected fuel leak along the hydrant fuel system can be devastating to airport operations and the surrounding environment.
TraceTek Leak Detection and Locating Systems can monitor miles of single wall buried pipelines for fuel leaks, provide a precise location of a small developing leak, close valves before it becomes catastrophic, and interface with a pipeline monitoring control center for notification. TraceTek TT5000 Sensing Cable installed inside slotted PVC conduit along side a single wall buried hydrant pipeline can detect a small fuel leak and identify the location with pinpoint accuracy. Traces of any fuel leakage are drawn into the conduit by capillary action and contact the sensing cable for detection and location of the leak.
