See what we see

Drag the handle. This is what a fault looks like before it fails.

Three phase conductors running from a contactor into the fuse assembly beside it. Same cable, same run, same load — and in the photograph, nothing to tell them apart. Under thermal imaging one reads 106.8 °C while the equivalent conductor below it reads 69.3 °C. The camera works out the difference on the spot: 37.5 °C. A rise of that size over an identical component is a Priority 1 finding: immediate repair recommended.

Radiometric imaging finds it while the plant keeps running, and the report tells your electrician exactly which terminal to open — before it becomes a burnt-out starter and an unplanned shutdown.

Advanced leak detection services Australia-wide!

Over the past decade, Highpoint Solutions have been developing specialist skills in all types of leak detection applications and environments. From commercial building leaks to industrial steam, compressed air & even offshore oil & gas hydrocarbon leaks; we've done it all! Our state-of-the-art leak detection equipment and proven methods to achieve the highest success rates in the industry are what sets us apart.

And because we hold a QBCC waterproofing licence, the crew that finds your building leak is the crew that repairs it — properly, with a warranty behind the work.

Building Water Leak Detection Using Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is an effective and non-invasive method for detecting water leaks in buildings. Infrared (IR) cameras identify temperature variations caused by moisture accumulation, allowing our certified thermographers (ISO 18436-7) to locate leaks hidden behind walls, ceilings, floors, and roofs without destructive testing. Water leaks often cause cooler or warmer temperature patterns compared to surrounding dry areas, depending on the ambient conditions. Thermal cameras detect these anomalies, helping to pinpoint leaks from plumbing, HVAC systems, roofs, and foundation cracks.

This method is particularly useful for identifying leaks before visible damage, such as mould growth, structural deterioration, or paint discoloration, appears. Compared to traditional leak detection methods, thermal imaging is faster, more accurate, and minimises guesswork. Highpoint Solutions help building owners and maintenance teams address issues early, reducing repair costs and preventing extensive water damage. By integrating thermal imaging into a proactive leak detection strategy, property owners and strata managers can prevent costly repairs, improve indoor air quality, and maintain the integrity of their buildings.

Steam Trap Leak Testing

Steam traps are critical in steam systems, removing condensate while preventing steam loss. Leaks in traps lead to energy waste, increased costs, and safety risks. Ultrasound testing offers an efficient method to detect leaks by identifying high-frequency sound waves generated by turbulent steam flow through faulty traps. Unlike traditional methods (e.g., temperature checks), ultrasound testing is non-intrusive, allowing real-time inspection without system shutdown.

Our certified ultrasound technicians scan traps with handheld ultrasonic devices, trained to distinguish leak signatures from background noise. This method detects even minor leaks early, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing energy consumption. Benefits include significant cost savings, enhanced safety by mitigating hazardous steam leaks, and lower environmental impact through improved efficiency.

Fugitive Emissions Survey — Optical Gas Imaging

Fugitive emission surveys using optical gas imaging (OGI) thermal cameras are an essential tool for detecting leaks in industrial facilities, particularly in the oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical sectors. OGI cameras detect the infrared absorption of hydrocarbon and other gases, allowing our certified thermographers to quickly identify and locate leaks in pipelines, valves, flanges, tanks, and other equipment.

Compared to handheld gas detectors or sniffers, OGI surveys are faster, more efficient, and capable of scanning large areas in real time without direct contact. Highpoint Solutions use OGI cameras to detect various gases, including methane, propane, butane, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Regular fugitive emission surveys help companies minimise product losses, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance workplace safety.

Ultrasound Surveys for Compressed Air Leak Detection

Compressed air is a critical utility in manufacturing, but leaks can lead to significant energy waste, increased operational costs, and reduced system efficiency. Airborne ultrasound detectors identify leaks by capturing high-frequency sounds produced when pressurised air escapes through small openings in pipes, hoses, valves, and fittings — quickly and accurately, even in noisy industrial environments, without system shutdowns.

Regular ultrasound-based leak detection and maintenance can lead to substantial energy savings, improved equipment lifespan, and enhanced overall system reliability. Estimate what your leaks are costing you →

High Pressure and Low Pressure Steam Leaks

Airborne ultrasound is a highly effective method for detecting both high-pressure and low-pressure steam leaks in industrial facilities. Ultrasound detectors capture high-frequency sounds produced when steam escapes through leaks in pipes, valves, flanges, steam traps, and other system components — pinpointing leaks even in noisy environments and before they become critical, with no system shutdown required.

High-pressure steam leaks pose serious safety hazards, including burns and equipment failure, while low-pressure leaks contribute to reduced system efficiency and energy waste. Implementing a regular ultrasound-based steam leak detection program helps industrial facilities enhance safety, optimise energy efficiency, and maintain reliable steam system operation.

Air Tightness Testing (Acoustic Emissions)

Airborne ultrasound detects air leaks by capturing high-frequency sound waves produced when air escapes through gaps, cracks, or poorly sealed areas in walls, doors, windows, ducts, and enclosures. By using an ultrasonic transmitter inside a building or enclosure, inspectors can identify weak points in the structure's sealing from the outside, without invasive testing.

In manufacturing, air tightness is critical for processes requiring contamination control, such as cleanrooms, pharmaceutical production, and electronics manufacturing. Compared to traditional smoke or pressure testing, ultrasound provides a faster, non-destructive, and cost-effective approach.

Electro-Acoustic Water Leak Detection

Electro-acoustic listening equipment is widely used for detecting and pinpointing underground pipe leaks by capturing and analysing the sound of escaping water. Highly sensitive ground microphones, acoustic sensors and digital amplifiers let our technicians listen for leak-related noises, which have distinct frequencies depending on pipe material, pressure, and surrounding conditions.

Our best-in-class electro-acoustic systems include digital filters and noise cancellation to minimise interference from external sounds like traffic or machinery. This means we can find your leak fast — minimising excavation costs, reducing water loss, and preventing infrastructure damage.

I cannot believe how awesome Highpoint Solutions were. I've had water ingress issues for years, had various contractors, snake-camera plumbers, you name it. Everyone has an answer, but the only one that is useful and matters is what I got from Highpoint Solutions. If you're having any residential water issues, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Everyone else was a waste of time and money. The report I got is the perfect document I can provide to a builder/waterproofing company to get some quotes, so grateful to have that too!

In-house technology

We build the software our inspections run on.

When no off-the-shelf tool could show a client where a silo shell was thinning, we wrote our own. SiloMap takes the thickness readings our rope access team records on the drop and maps them onto a colour-coded 3D model of the asset — the same way thermography turns temperature into a picture.

  • Five views of one survey. 3D shell referenced to true north, 360° developed map, plan view, a profile for every drop and a sortable data table — every figure stamped with bearing, elevation, scale and date.
  • Built on the real shell. Each strake keeps its own nominal and material, so loss is measured against the right plate; cones, hoppers, dished heads and horizontal vessels are modelled, not approximated.
  • Landmarks, not bearings. A finding reads "between the manhole and the davit crane", because that is how your maintenance crew will find it.
  • Honest about coverage. Colour between readings illustrates the measured points; the map shows the shell actually measured and hatches the rest.
  • A viewer, not just a PDF. Clients receive a single read-only file that opens on any locked-down laptop or tablet, offline, with no install — rotate the model, filter the table, check any reading.
