Leak detection. See the unseen, hear the unheard!
Infrared thermography, microwave moisture mapping, airborne ultrasound and optical gas imaging — non-intrusive identification and tracking of even the smallest leaks.
We use technology to maximise productivity & efficiency.
— Justin Dravsnik, Director, Highpoint Solutions
Highpoint Solutions utilise a broad range of innovative leak detection technologies to identify and track leaks in a non-intrusive manner. Using state-of-the-art moisture detection equipment including; infrared thermography, microwave moisture mapping, and ultrasound emissions instruments; our highly trained technicians will accurately diagnose and locate even the smallest of leaks. Highpoint Solutions offers a comprehensive range of leak detection services including:
- Thermographic gas, air, & water leak detection
- Water leak detection using microwave moisture mapping technology
- Hydrocarbon leak detection using Optical Gas Imaging (OGI)
- Fugitive Emission Surveys using FLIR GFX320
- Air tightness testing (Acoustic Emissions)
- Moisture Under Insulation detection
- Rising damp moisture detection
- Water seepages and moisture leakages by defective seams
- Moisture under insulation in process pipework
- Building water leak detection
- Ultrasonic leak detection (compressed air, inert gas and vacuum systems)
- Steam trap and valve leaks
- Leaks and seal failures around windows, doors, cabins, hatch covers, vehicles and containers
- Swimming pool leak detection & repair
Leak rectification & waterproofing
Finding the leak is half the job. Highpoint Solutions holds a QBCC waterproofing licence, so the same crew that traces the ingress can strip, prepare and re-waterproof balconies, roofs, planter boxes and wet areas — with durable repairs designed to withstand the test of time, and a warranty behind the work. No hand-off to a second contractor, no argument about whose fault the leak was.
Water Leak Detection & Moisture Ingress
Highpoint Solutions apply advanced infrared thermography & microwave reflection based moisture mapping technology to deliver high levels of data that can not only be used for tracking building water leaks on-site, but also for post inspection analysis and risk reviews. Our non-destructive inspection techniques are carried out by inspection personnel who are highly qualified, skilled, and experienced in the application of a wide range of inspection and testing methods.
Ultrasound Leak Detection Surveys
Ultrasound leak detection encompasses a wide range of leaks: pressure, vacuum and any gas. Leaks of compressed air, gases or vacuum all create turbulent flows which can be detected with an Ultrasonic Leak Detector. Compressed air leaks can be extremely hazardous and are expensive too. The Highpoint Solutions digital leak detector with on-board data logging enables our inspectors to quickly trace leaks back to their source. Estimate what your compressed air leaks cost →
Hydrocarbon Leak Detection – Fugitive Emissions Surveys
Highpoint Solutions conduct fugitive emissions surveys for industrial clients throughout Australia. Using FLIR optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras, our inspectors can quickly, accurately and safely detect hundreds of industrial gas types, even in hard to access areas. Avoid regulatory violations, fines and lost revenue. Save gas, save money, and save lives through regular fugitive emissions surveys at your facility.

Hydrocarbon leak detection — fugitive emission surveys
FLIR optical gas imaging cameras visualise hundreds of industrial gas types, including in hard-to-reach locations, so operators can avoid regulatory violations, fines and lost product. We deliver LDAR-ready survey reports for onshore and offshore assets.
