Over the years, many buildings undergo significant changes, including extensions, refurbishments, layout alterations, and the decommissioning of older areas or services. As a result, building services can often become difficult to understand, with original drawings no longer reflecting the actual layout of pipework systems.
At CLIRA, our specialist pipe tracing technicians provide a clear and accurate solution to this challenge. We are able to trace a wide range of pipework systems, including water, gas, medical gas, steam, and heating systems, helping to restore full visibility of your building’s infrastructure.
Pipe tracing provides essential information for facilities and maintenance teams, allowing them to fully understand how their systems are configured. This knowledge is particularly valuable when planning maintenance works, carrying out repairs, or responding to emergencies. With accurate pipework identification, teams can isolate systems quickly and effectively, minimising disruption to building occupants and reducing downtime.
Where required, we can work directly from your existing floor plans. By tracing systems from the plant room through to all served areas, including upper floors and roof spaces, we can accurately map your pipework network and overlay it onto your drawings. This provides a clear and practical visual reference of how your systems are actually installed.
As part of the service, we also identify key details such as pipe types, sizes, flow directions, and the location of all relevant isolation valves. This level of detail ensures that your maintenance teams have the information they need to manage systems safely and efficiently.
Accurate pipe tracing is particularly valuable in older buildings or sites where documentation is incomplete or outdated. It supports safer maintenance planning, improves emergency response capability, and helps reduce the risk of unnecessary system disruption.
