Spark Testing
Spark testing is used to inspect coatings and linings on conductive surfaces, identifying defects like pinholes, leaks, or cracks that can compromise system integrity.
- Required for network compliance every 3 years under regulations
- Effective for attenuation ponds and any other relined structure
How It Works
High Voltage Applied: A portable spark tester passes a high voltage across the coated surface
Detection of defects: Flaws like pinholes or cracks cause the voltage to complete a circuit, triggering a visible and audible spark
Inspection: Sparks signal areas needing repair, ensuring the coating remains effective and compliant
Air Pressure Testing
Air pressure testing uses compressed air to check for leaks in various network systems, for example, foul, storm or process networks, etc. This fast and efficient method allows for the detection of even the smallest leaks, ensuring your system remains airtight and compliant.
Benefits
Rapid and cost-effective
Detects minute leaks in a short time
Non-invasive and precise
Hydrostatic Testing
Hydrostatic testing is used to evaluate the strength and integrity of pipelines, tanks or bunds by filling them with water and pressurising the system. This method helps identify weaknesses, leaks, or failures before they lead to more serious issues.
Benefits
Detects potential leaks or weaknesses
Verifies system strength under pressure
Essential for ensuring safety and compliance
