Storm Water Pump Station Project
Location: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Completion Date: January 2021
In a coastal city near the Red Sea prone to heavy rainfall and high tides, flood control is a critical concern.
A large-scale infrastructure effort was launched to modernize and expand the city’s storm water drainage system, particularly through the upgrade of vital pump stations. Any failure in these stations could lead to citywide flooding and major operational and public safety impacts. As part of this project, a reliable and fast-responding leak detection system was needed to ensure continuous 24/7 monitoring in a remote location with minimal maintenance.
-
Continuous monitoring for potential liquid leaks in a flood-prone, high-risk area
Fast response and accurate leak identification to prevent system shutdowns
Rugged system capable of performing in remote environments
Minimal maintenance and false alarm prevention in contaminated or wet conditions

PermAlert provided the PAL-AT leak detection system with AGW-Gold sensing cable to fully monitor the pump station. The AGW-Gold cable was installed inside containment pipes at the lowest point (6 o’clock position) to ensure immediate response in case of leaks. Its chemically resistant, non-conductive design prevents false alarms caused by dust or debris. The PAL-AT panel was installed in the equipment room, offering multi-circuit monitoring and advanced “sonar/radar” style sensing that allows detection of growing leaks and layered alarm levels—even in the presence of condensation.
