Searcher or Plunger Bars:
A Vital Tool for Gas Leak Detection
Overview
For over 12 years, PipeServ has been a trusted supplier of Searcher Bars (or Plunger Bars) to the gas distribution industry. These specialised tools are recognised and relied upon by professionals for detecting and managing underground gas leaks efficiently and safely.
Searcher Bars are essential for gas leak detection. Their primary function is to penetrate soil, asphalt, or concrete, creating an access point for a gas detection probe.
This allows operators to quickly and effectively monitor and address potential leaks in gas distribution networks.
The process is straightforward:
- The spike is driven into the ground using a “pile driver” action.
- The top closure plug strikes the boss head of the spike, embedding it securely into the surface.
- A gas detection probe is then inserted into the created hole for testing.
