Successful Project Kick-off:
New Rising Main Installation in Leicester
Pipe Testing Services (PTS) is excited to report a highly successful first week on a significant new project in Leicester for a new client. This project involves the expert installation of extensive new polyethylene (PE) rising mains, showcasing our team’s proficiency in butt fusion welding and staged pressure testing from the outset.
Project Scope: Installing Over 1.6km of PE Rising Mains
The initial phase of this Leicester-based project involves the precise installation of:
- 1005 metres of 180mm PE rising main.
- 600 metres of 125mm PE rising main.
Our skilled site team is employing state-of-the-art butt fusion welding techniques to create strong, homogenous, and leak-free joints for these critical pipelines. This method is ideal for PE pipework, ensuring long-term durability and system integrity.
PTS Approach:
Expertise in Welding and Phased Pressure Testing
From day one, the PTS team demonstrated exceptional teamwork and technical skill. Correct execution of butt fusion welding is critical for the longevity of PE rising mains, preventing potential future issues. Our certified technicians ensure each weld meets stringent quality standards.
A key component of this project is the implementation of multiple pressure tests at different stages of the installation. This phased approach allows us to verify the integrity of each section as work progresses, ensuring any potential issues are identified and rectified promptly. This rigorous testing is fundamental to delivering a reliable and compliant final pipeline system. Learn more about our Pressure Testing services.
