The Company was renovating a multi-story prestige building that was both a prime example of local architecture, and was historically significant. The sensitive renovation aimed to preserve and celebrate the architectural heritage, while simultaneously creating a modern office environment.
Attracted by both the architecture and the Company’s stellar reputation, the tenants were equally as prestigious as the building, and planned custom Class A++ fitouts to complement the space.
The Company already knew that water leaks posed a threat in any of their assets, but even more so for a building and tenants of this calibre. Any tenant disruption had to be minimized. Damage and downtime simply wasn’t an option.
While leak sensing ropes and pucks were considered, the Company was dissatisfied with their performance, particularly high false positive rates that led their facilities teams to distrust them.
And with access to the most likely leak points severely limited by the new design, the Company needed a solution that would accurately detect genuine leaks, without sounding the alarm if small droplets of water or dust motes escaped.
