Why Are Air Leakage Surveys Important?

Compressed air systems are vital in industrial environments but are often plagued by hidden inefficiencies. Studies show that up to 30% of compressed air can be lost through leaks, leading to inflated energy bills, unexpected equipment failures, and decreased overall productivity.

General Tech Services offers comprehensive Air Leakage Survey Services that help UAE businesses detect, document, and eliminate these inefficiencies. By identifying and addressing air leaks, you can immediately reduce costs, enhance system performance, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Our Survey Methodology: Accurate. Efficient. Actionable.

Our process is structured and designed to deliver clear and actionable insights:

1. Ultrasonic Leak Detection
We use industry-leading ultrasonic detectors capable of pinpointing even the smallest leaks, regardless of ambient noise levels. This enables efficient detection in both quiet and high-noise environments.

2. Thermal and Visual Imaging
Where applicable, thermal cameras and endoscopic tools are used to inspect concealed pipelines or hard-to-reach zones to uncover hidden leaks and insulation failures.

3. Leak Tagging and Documentation
Every detected leak is physically tagged on-site with a unique ID and logged in a report. We include detailed photos, exact locations, and severity ratings for quick reference.

4. Quantification of Loss
We calculate the estimated volume of compressed air being lost (in CFM) and translate it into a monetary cost, providing you with a clear view of how much each leak is costing your business annually.

5. Comprehensive Reporting
A professional report is provided outlining all findings, prioritized recommendations, and suggested repair actions. This allows maintenance teams to plan repairs based on urgency and impact.

Industries That Benefit from Air Leakage Surveys

Our services are tailored for a wide range of industries, including:

Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities
Where compressed air systems power assembly lines, pneumatic tools, and robotics—air leaks can severely impact production uptime and efficiency.

Cement and Construction Plants
These facilities rely heavily on pneumatic controls and conveying systems, making efficient air usage critical for day-to-day operations.

Logistics and Warehousing
From packaging machinery to automated handling equipment, air leaks increase operational costs and reduce reliability.

Pharmaceutical and Cleanroom Environments
Maintaining precise air pressure levels is vital in cleanroom operations. Air leaks can compromise product safety and regulatory compliance.

Hospitals and Medical Facilities
Medical air systems must operate without pressure drops or contamination. Early leak detection protects patient safety and service continuity.

Key Benefits of Choosing General Tech Services

Significant Energy Savings
Reducing air leakage leads to decreased compressor runtimes and lower electricity usage, often resulting in up to 20% energy cost savings.

Reduced Equipment Downtime
Minimizing pressure drops improves system reliability and prevents unscheduled downtime due to tool or machine malfunctions.

Extended Equipment Lifespan
Compressors and ancillary equipment experience less wear and tear, reducing maintenance frequency and replacement costs.

Compliance with Industry Standards
Our air leakage survey reports support energy audit standards like ISO 50001 and help companies meet internal sustainability goals.

Fast Return on Investment
Most clients recover the cost of the survey and repairs within three to six months due to the immediate reduction in operating costs.
