Programme highlights |
Leakage from water-carrying services, (water pipes, drains and sewers), may adversely affect the stability of slopes. Since the fatal Kwun Lung Lau landslide on 23 July 1994, water leakage detection (WLD) for buried water-carrying services affecting slopes has been widely and regularly conducted in routine maintenance programmes. This seminar will describe the various methods and technology commonly used in WLD for buried services. The critical factors affecting the WLD processes will be examined including elaboration on the accuracy and efficiency of the methods. Finally, the future development of the WLD on buried service will be discussed. |
