Field Leak Testing of Polyethylene Pressure Pipe
Our team of inspectors is trained and ready to be in the field during the field leak testing of your polyethylene pressure pipe. We have Certified Inspectors who can mobilize to your location anywhere in North America and elsewhere in the World by special request. We have the insurance for our pipeline inspector to work on municipal and government projects. While many firms will conduct this testing, our experience has been there are many mistakes that can be made which confound testing. Our greatest value is as on-site consultants to avoid costly and time-consuming mistakes that may result in false claims of leaks in your pipeline.
