- 2. Presented By: Michael Hadt Account Manager - Midwest mhadt@rletech.com
- 3. Today’s Outline Who is RLE Technologies? Why do critical facilities trust RLE’s leak detection? What is Peace of Mind worth? What components are needed to get started?
- 4. Who is RLE Technologies? Our Mission: We exist to prevent disasters, preserve our clients’ reputation and provide peace of mind. • Founded in 1984 as Raymond & Lae Engineering • Headquarters and manufacturing located in Fort Collins, CO • Most products are made in Colorado • A recognized international leader in the facilities monitoring and leak detection markets • Over 19 Million feet of our patented Leak Detection Cable installed worldwide

- 9. Is Spot Detection in A Boiler Room Adequate?
- 10. Who Has Seen This?
- 11. Why is Leak Detection So Important? Data Center Issues… According to an Emerson Survey of the challenges facing data centers, RLE’s SeaHawk products could help resolve a problem that 19.6% of those surveyed have had to deal with.
- 12. Leading Causes of Business Downtime* Leak Detection with direct alarm notification may result in timely resolution of what equates to 27% of business downtime! 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% Power Outage Water Damage Hardware Failure 28% 27% 15% *Source: Contingency Planning Research; a division of Eagle Rock Alliance
- 13. The Affects & Costs of Downtime Hard costs for repairs Employee productivity & moral Redirection of efforts towards recovery Reputation (lost sales – current & future) Industry Hourly Downtime Costs* (US$) Energy: $ 2.8M Credit Card Authorization Sales: $ 2.6M Telecommunications $ 2M Manufacturing $ 1.6M Financial Institutions $ 1.4M *Source: IT Performance Engineering and Measurement Strategies
- 14. Customer Review “The products we have installed allow our engineering team to sleep at night knowing that any moisture under the floor in any of these critical spaces will be detected in a moment’s notice and alarmed to the appropriate personnel. “In the end, we are very pleased with the company, the product, the customer service, and all parameters in between! Thanks RLE!” Andy Honeycutt – Engineer Trammell Crow’s Facilities Management Services to American Express’s Operations Center
- 15. Customer Review “We could identify the water issue, and the plumbers could find the location of the problem, even though we couldn’t see any actively leaking water. It could have been disastrous over time, but fortunately we got to it early.” Marcus McCutchen - Director of IT Telephone Services Department University of Northern Colorado
- 16. Sources of Leaks Water Supply & Return Lines • Pipes • Couplings & Fittings • Valves Air Conditioning Units / Chillers Plumbing Fixtures Clogged Drains Storage Tanks Building Construction Issues
- 17. Common Applications • Under raised floors – Heat loads in data centers require water cooled solutions introducing water to areas that are most sensitive to water leaks – Some new buildings are being built entirely with raised floors to simplify construction and design changes • Above drop ceilings • Affixed to water supply and return lines • In drip pans • Encapsulating areas of concern – Sources of potential leaks – Protecting anything that may be damaged by a water leak • Opportunities are also being driven by insurance companies!
- 18. Customers Existing Customers! End Users • I/T Managers • Facility Managers • Maintenance Managers Contractors • Design / Build Companies • System Integrators • HVAC Installers • Fire Suppression Companies • Maintenance Service Organizations
- 19. Spot Detectors & Sensing Cable Spot Detectors are used to detect conductive fluids in confined areas Sensing Cable is used to encapsulate sources of leaks or critical equipment that might be damaged by a leak
