Pressure
testing.
Pressurisation is completed using a variety of hydrostatic test pumps sized specifically for the type and size of pipe to be tested. All pumps are pressure variable and are fitted with pressure relief valves which are set on site to the required test pressure.
On larger diameter Polyethylene mains our high flow rate pumps ensure a quick and accurate site test enabling the overall pipeline commissioning process to be shortened.

Testing of all 'creep reactive' pipe materials such
as
HPPE, MDPE etc is completed using industry standard pressure data loggers.
All our technicians utilise laptop computers enabling the downloading
and interpretation of logger results to be carried out on site immediately
the test procedure has been completed.
Test results are interporated using our Excel Pipelines test programme.
Testing of solid pipe materials such as Ductile Iron, PVC etc is completed using the water loss procedure and the standard certified test gauge and manifold.
Testing is completed in accordance with the WRC publication 'A guide to Testing of Water Supply Pipelines and Sewer Rising Mains' although we are able to accommodate other client specific test requirements.

Swabbing
and swab tracking.
Swabbing can be completed using a wide variety of foam swabs of various densities for different applications from soft foam swabs for drying and wiping of pipelines to hard foam swabs with criss-cross wire brushes to remove hard scale and heavy deposits.
We can also now offer swab tracking services where a transmitter is towed behind the swab as it travels along the main and located
We can use this service to locate a lost conventional swab by sending the transmitter swab along the line until it stops at the location of the lost swab. This can give large cost advantages over the traditional dig to locate method of locating lost swabs.
