Compressed Air Alliance offers a flexible compressed air leak detection program from basic detection and reporting through to complete turnkey solutions timed with your production schedule.
We conduct leak detection programs Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and all regional areas.
Compressed air leak detection and inappropriate use survey. This is our basic offering. The leak detection survey will find compressed air leaks and identify inappropriate use. You will receive a report on our findings and a parts list to help you repair compressed air leaks.
Optional – Repair leaks. Let us manage the compressed air leak repair program. We will organise the parts and labour and arrange a time to repair the leaks. Repairs can usually be completed within 1 – 2 days.
Optional – Measure your compressed air system. In addition to the compressed air leak detection survey (described above), we will measure your compressed air system (consumption, dew point, flow, power, etc) and identify any issues you may have with your compressors, dryers or receivers.
What makes the Compressed Air Alliance Survey different?
All leak and inappropriate use surveys are conducted by technicians with experience in compressed air systems.
Our reports include:
- details on the survey findings
- a summary of each leak and inappropriate use
- a parts list – the parts list is designed to help you order parts so you can repair the leaks.

About Leakage & Inappropriate Use Surveys

Compressed air leaks are the greatest offenders when it comes to system efficiency. Leaks typically use one third (1/3rd) of the compressed air supplied to site (although Compressed Air Alliance has seen systems where 75% of the compressed air is used by leaks). On some sites, one compressor was running to supply air to leaks. Inappropriate use typically uses another third (1/3rd) of the compressed air. This means that only one third (1/3rd) of compressed air is used for production purposes.
Leaks and inappropriate use can significantly increase compressed air demand and energy costs, reduce compressed air system efficiency and cause drops in system pressure thereby affecting production. Leaks can also decrease service life and increase maintenance of compressors and associated equipment due to unnecessary cycling and increased run time.
