• The detection of short-wire circuits that are often very large is a labour-intensive and time-consuming process.
• By using highly trained dogs, short-wire circuits can be located quickly and accurately in low and medium voltage underground circuits
• The ideal solution for minimising down time and optimising repairs
• In certain circumstances, leak detection with equipment is impossible/very difficult or very slow - In regions with several meters of snow during most of the year - In difficult accessible areas/regions (through the woods or through
fields of dense agriculture) - Under or over water surfaces
• Dogs are very reliable in all circumstances and fast in difficult terrain.

• In certain countries/regions, illegal pipeline tapping is popular and widespread - Often in rural and thin populated regions - Often highly organised and professional illegal tapping teams
• In some cases, a loss of pressure in the pipeline is detected, but the illegal tap is typically very difficult to find In most cases, the pipeline owner doesn’t really know...
• Dogs are very sensitive (ppb) and extremely efficient in finding illegal taps
• Our explosive detection dogs can be used whole over the world.
• The dogs work extremely accurately and can screen large quantities of cargo quickly and never interrupt the supply chain.
• Our dogs can be used for commercial or military purposes. • We have the permit from the national coordinator for counter-
terrorism and safety (NCTv), to deploy explosive detection dog teams at all airports for the purpose of cargo screening.

• Our dogs are the ideal weapon against drug smuggling. • At events, concerts or drug trafficking. In suitcases of
individuals or cargoes, in airplanes, trains cars or trucks. • Our highly trained narcotic detection dogs are capable to
detect any form of narcotics or substances, no matter how difficult it is to find it.
• Water leak detection with dogs is very unique. • We have trained our dogs to find water leaks in all non
drinkable water systems • By adding an environmental friendly tracer gas we are able to
detect minuscule water leaks • There the dogs can work much faster and efficient than
traditional measuring equipment, is this way of working very financially attractive
• Dogs are very reliable in all circumstances and fast in difficult terrain.

HOW THE DOG NOSE WORKS
• The canine olfactory system: - Soft tissue - Bones - Nerves - Parts of the brain
• The soft tissue and bony structures make up the cavities into which odor particles flow. These cavities are lined with scent receptor cells which connect to olfactory nerves that connect with the olfactory lobe of the dog's brain.
• Dogs have large folds of mucous membranes inside their nose containing more than 200 million scent receptors compared to smaller areas of mucous membranes containing about 4 million in humans. Their olfactory bulbs are also about 4 times larger than ours.Their noses are also uniquely designed to draw air samples through — They even can smell a few parts per billion. Where the most sofisticated equipment can only measure parts per Million.

Short-wire circuit detection
• Short-wire circuits are extremely difficult to find, there they usually laying underneath pavements, tiles, hardened surfaces or concrete.
• The depth of the cable is on average between 80 cm and 1,5 meter, the local shorting stays local and does not come to the surface.
• The dog has to smell this shorting through street tiles, one meter under the ground
• The greatest benefit is in the fact that no housing connections have to be cut, this results in huge time saving for the customers
• The dogs are used to work in busy environments and crowded city streets

• Press Release Sniffer dogs used to detect complex power failures First test Joulz Utrecht is promising Rotterdam, January 12, 2014 Complex failures and simmer disturbances in underground electricity cable networks are often difficult to detect. Joulz engaged in a specialized company that offers at possible solution here. In a first experiment, they showed that sniffer dogs are astonishingly good at pointing out accurate in decimeters some of the strangest fault locations. Scent of a short circuit The dogs and their companions are employed at The Sniffers, a Belgian company worldwide known in the oil and petrochemical industry in detecting leaks in piping and pipelines. Since last year, the company is also active in detecting short circuits in underground electricity grids using sniffer dogs. The dogs are specially trained to the smell of certain substances released during a short circuit and simmer disturbances. They can smell that, even covered by a thick layer of soil and pavement. End of January was a team of four shepperd dogs with their supervisors to guest to the disturbances in different types of underground cable, low voltage and public lighting to heavy 50kV cables to detect. busy cafe Joulz technician Gerrit-Jan Massop was quite impressed. "We have been on a fault location at the Utrecht Cathedral Square, near a busy Café, in a place where many other dogs just pee. The dogs did not let that distract them and found the fault flawlessly. "On another failure in Utrecht, they found not only the sought electrical fault. "While we were busy, the remaining dog barking at a distance of not more then one meter from de short circuit fault. There appeared to be a gas leak “ (two faults detected at the cost of one)

• Press Release,
Enexis, The Sniffers detection dog's shows arts for rotating cameras Senna (detection dog) sniffs, continues, sniffs again and then start digging with her paw. That's the sign for his owner Guido: Here is the problem. And sure enough, it's true. This Thursday Senna does it every time. Fair to say it's a little show appearances, because Enexis dug a old sleeve seventy centimeters deep hidden in the forest of Oosterhout so that camera crews include SBS (Heart of the Netherlands), NOS and Omroep Brabant can film the detection dogs in action finding the electricity failures. And Senna plays it perfectly. Although it remains no play, it is serious business. This week, participate Senna and her fellow dogs along in the fault-call. As medium and low voltage faults is the core business of tracking dogs, The Sniffers (from Belgium, just across the border in Tilburg), paged. Until now, the score is one hundred percent. "These dogs smell more than a million times better than us," says Guido van Baelen The Sniffers Senna while further down on the line of her handler delves further. "The dogs are trained to the substances of electricity sockets - including the substance toluene - smell. We are number one in Europe in the field of such detection with dogs. For us, there is sure future for frequent use of the dogs at Enexis. " test Some time ago suggested strategy manager Henk Visser at its Innovation colleague Rob van Buitenen the opportunity to deploy sniffer dogs at power failures. Rob took action, came into contact with the Belgian company with the current test result. Rob is the project leader of the pilot and performer Christelle van Gool - who trains police dogs in his spare time - in contact for the Belgians. Rob: "The great benefit of the dog bet is the detection of the fault. At an average interference we proceed with the measuring vehicle on the spot, we have all the houses off to turn off the fuses, then we put an increased strain on the low-voltage cable, and we then measured with the measuring carriage, where the fault is. The profit with the dogs is found mainly in the rapid detection on the spot. We win with two to three hours per outage.
