CFG Géothermal: your leak detection partner
Preserving water resources and maintaining network integrity
Explore our company’s helium leak detection solutions to meet the needs of local authorities, water departments, industrial companies and district heating network operators throughout France.
Leak detection is a key step in preserving water resources, maintaining network integrity and reducing operating costs.
Our helium tracing method relies on accuracy and fast implementation, and ensures effective localization of the origin of the leak, even in harsh environments. In contrast to acoustic techniques, the technique is not affected by noisy environments, and has no impact on service continuity.
Our qualified technicians can travel anywhere in France to deploy our know-how and provide an accurate, fast and reliable detection service.
CFG Géothermal offers industrial companies and local authorities a complete turnkey solution for leak detection in wet networks.
- Detection of leak origin by helium tracing;
- Characterization of the possible bacterial origin of the leak by taking a sample and conducting laboratory analysis of filamentous iron-cycle bacteria, or using the Labège test kit to detect and count sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRBs) or thiosulfate-reducing bacteria (TRBs);
How does CFG Géothermal leak detection work?
The technique involves marking with helium the fluid transported by pipes, or the air in subsurface cavities, and then determining the helium content in the ground gases.

State-of-the-art, non-intrusive and non-destructive technology
We use a method of helium tracing of the flowing fluid that minimizes disturbance while ensuring accurate detection. Our methods are reliable and, in most cases, enable a semi-quantitative approach with good sensitivity.
Service continuity
They can be implemented without stopping operations, whatever the diameter of the pipe to be inspected and the material it is made of.
Cost savings
Quickly pinpointing leaks helps minimize losses on your system, resulting in significant cost savings.
Commitment to the environment
Accurate leak detection contributes to preserving water resources and is part of a responsible approach to the environment. Helium is inert and non-polluting, with no impact on either the environment or human health. Indeed, the helium tracing method is approved by the DGS (French Department of Health) for drinking water.
