UNDERGROUND PIPE LEAKAGE

Hello, Good day to everyone.

I have a major problem, the site I am working at, is having a major pipe leaking issue, at approximately 30 cubic meter/hour. My team had already did the pressure lost test, to no avail. On top of that my management would like to opt for Ultrasound test as the last option. Btw, the whole area is standing on peat soil. If possible can any of you amazing people help me out on any other alternatives in finding the leakage.

I attended a seminar once where a paper was presented on how the council had used thermal imaging fitted to a drone to identify leaks in pipelines, it would need to be done during the dry season and any leaks would show up as cooler patches.

I am surprised that 30m3/h is not daylighting though
