CIREG Water Leak Detection Systems
Managing Escape of Water Risks on Construction Sites
The number and severity of water escape incidents during building works has increased in recent years and insurance providers state that it is now the most likely cause of a loss from construction sites. The best way to prevent water damage from leaks during construction works is by installing a water leak detection system. Diamond Controls offers a range of temporary and permanent solutions for your building project.
Automatic Shut Off of Water Supply
Our water leak detection systems are Ideal for use with temporary water supplies or as a major leak detection solution in operational buildings. They monitor mains incoming supplies and shut-off the water if the pre-determined flow rate goes above normal usage parameters. We can also provide a timed water supply management device that automatically shuts off water supplies outside of normal working hours for an affordable water leak prevention measure.
Insurance Risk
Two thirds of commercial water leaks occur outside of working hours causing significant disruption and delays as well as additional costs. With such high risks associated with water escape, most insurers will insist that you’re following CIREG best practice guidelines when planning a construction project.
CIREG & BREEAM Compliant Major Water Leak Detection Kit
This kit was designed to meet the CIREG standards to manage the escape of water risk on construction sites and commercial properties under refurbishment, and also complies with BREEAM Wat 03.
It is comprised of three components: The AT-WFM controller to record and monitor flow rates, a water meter to measure flow, and a motorised ball valve to isolate and automatically shut off water supply in the event of a potential leak.
