Summary
Vattenfall has been researching the use of sniffer dogs to detect water leaks in the underground piping used to deliver district heating in The Netherlands.
The first results were promising and Vattenfall is now looking at whether the dogs can replace the current thermal imaging cameras used for water leak detection.
Mark Spithorst, piping technical specialist at Vattenfall, came up with the idea of using sniffer dogs. Together with Scent Imprint for Dogs (SIFD), a Dutch company that provides dog detection training, he set up a special training for leak detection in district heating pipes.
