Resikom Ltd - Leak Detection London

Gas leak detection can be done by using various methods.

In order to detect gas leaks with traditional methods such as Catalytic/IR Point Sensors and IR Open Path Sensors, the gas itself must either be in close proximity to the detector or within a pre-defined area. Outdoor environmental conditions such as changing wind directions and quick dispersion of a potential gas cloud, which can be found e.g. on an offshore platform, can result in undetected gas leaks, leading to extremely dangerous situations.

An alternative to these traditional detection methods is ultrasonic gas leak detectors. This detection method often use a microphone technology; which detect outdoor leaks by sensing the distinct high frequency ultrasound emitted by all high pressure gas leaks, meaning that the gas does not have to reach the sensor - just the sound of the gas leak.

The use of gaseous fire extinguishing systems to provide protection for computer and plant rooms is all but essential, given the consequences of fire damage and downtime for such critical equipment.

Our staff have been at the forefront of testing fire supression systems for well over a decade both in the UK and Ireland, as well as elsewhere overseas.

The test is a requirement of the British Standard for gaseous fire extinguishing systems – BS:ISO 14520.  Most fire insurers will require evidence that the test has been conducted and the result is satisfactory. Resikom can usually arrange a test within a few days and it will only take a few hours.

There are two types of Underfloor Heating systems available on the market.

• Hot Water Systems
• Electric Systems

Hot Water systems use the principle of circulating warm water through pipes laid into a solid screeded floor.

Electric floor heating systems have very low installation cost for smaller spaces (1-5 rooms) because they are easy to install and have a very low start-up cost (An electric thermostat is all that is required.)
