Equipment Installation

System installation can be a major cost factor for the system since the labor of trenching splicing, installing, backfilling, etc. often exceed the cost of the installed equipment. Typically, Nitor either subcontracts the installation work to a construction contractor or the construction contractor will server as the prime contractor for Nitor. Nitor can also act as a subcontractor supplying the equipment. Nitor performs system start-up and acceptance testing under either of the arrangements. Nitor training will consist of training for installation procedures, operations, and maintenance of the system.

Installation of the PROWLER system is critical for proper operation of the system, most problems occur with damage to the equipment and especially the sensor tubing itself. If proper care and attention are not given during the installation process, cuts or other damage to the sensor tube may cause results that will adversely affect the system operation. The leak-detection system is frequently installed as part of a much larger construction project, and often extends over several months , which makes it impractical and cost prohibitive for Nitor to keep personnel on-site at all times. Handling and storage of the equipment is crucial. For this reason, proper training of the installation contractor personnel will be critical to a successful and problem free installation.
