PLASTIC PIPELINE
QUALITY ASSURANCE
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Plastic pipeline reliability requires that the pipeline and all its components are properly manufactured, specified, installed, inspected and operated properly. A total quality assurance plan can assist the owner in ensuring that each plastic pipeline is built right and works properly for its design lifetime. Plastic pipeline reliability is critical regardless of what the pipeline carries – drinking water, raw water, brine, oil, mixtures of these liquids, or gas.
Our team at Bryan Hauger Consulting includes heat fusion joining training professionals and inspectors to mitigate pipeline risk from project planning through installation. We develop quality plans for sourcing and handling of construction materials, construction practices, and commissioning practices. We have conducted manufacturer site audits and worked with the manufacturer to resolve findings.
Typically our work starts with a written document containing industry best practices in a variety of pipeline construction activities. Typical topics include:
*Certification of Fusion Technicians,
*Selection and Job Site Inspection of Butt Fusion Equipment,
*Qualification of Joining Procedure,
*Step-by-Step Joining Procedure,
*Visual Inspection of Butt Fusion Joints,
*Weekly inspection & Testing for Quality Control of Fusion joints,
*Elements of ASTM F2620 requiring additional definition,
*Additional installation and commissioning practices,
*100% Inspection of Fusion Pressure/Time Reports,
*Cooling and Rough Handling Times for Project Pipe,
*Heat Plate Removal times for Project pipe,
*Destructive Examination of Butt Fusions Joints by Guided Side Bend and several more.
When re-written into a mandatory documents with requirements and by combining the mandatory document with installation specific details, then the re-written document can be used as a quality assurance plan to assist distributors, asset owners or construction contractors in implementing best practices on the job.
Very common additional services that accompany our written documents include:
• On-site visit by a heat fusion joining inspector to execution a Job Site Inspection of Butt Fusion Equipment and Review of Best Practices
• Off-site Review of Heat Fusion Joining Pressure/Time Reports on Project Joints

Our only interest is to ensure that plastic piping systems are built by trained personnel - on time, on budget and using the best materials and practices available.
We provide technical service independently working the best solution. We do not distribute or sell pipe or fittings. We have conducted surveys of miles of pipeline and hundreds of joints. We have worked for asset owners or the owner's engineering firm. We have worked for contractors, alongside pipe or fittings manufacturers to assist with education and guidance on industry best-practices for construction. We eliminate potential construction issues.
We are the absolute solution for resolving the conflicting claims of material suppliers based on our experience and expertise. We can assist in material selection, specification and material acceptance testing.
We offer installation quality assurance on all aspects of construction including transport, handling, installation, all types of joining, and pressure testing.
We offer the most cost-effective mechanism to ensuring the piping system is built right the first time.
Unwavering dedication to these principles ensures Bryan Hauger Consulting is the best possible choice.
