The point to understand
Tracer-gas testing can contribute where a pipe section can be prepared appropriately. Detection at the surface adds evidence about the area under investigation.
Put it into practice
The test plan needs to account for the system and surrounding materials. A signal should be assessed alongside route information and other findings.
Keep the limits in view
A tracer may move through voids or ground before reaching the surface. Specialist interpretation is needed; the test is not a universal pinpoint guarantee.
