Electronic Leak Detection: Lessons Learned from ELD Testing & Continuous Monitoring
This one hour course will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify common causes for moisture intrusion.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the science, capabilities and limitations of Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) as outlined in ASTM Guide D7877 & ASTM Practice D8231.
2. Recognize common causes of failures found in numerous types of roofing and waterproofing membranes.
3.Identify potential future design and construction failures based on analyzed data from real time construction monitoring.
4.Distinguish different applications for ELD testing and continuous moisture monitoring for risk mitigation and loss control.
