Conclusion:
The pipes shall not be enclosed, covered or put into operation until it has been
inspected and approved by authorities having jurisdiction.
Before testing all pipes should be cleaned and prepared thoroughly, obstructions
removed by rodding the stack with drain rods of suitable diameter.
After the installation is completed the site engineer shall prepare a Request for
Inspection and submit to the Engineer.
Below specified tests shall be performed in the presence of the authorities having
jurisdiction: Plumbing Work Method Statement
2. Piping Tests:
The piping system to be tested shall be closed by plugging and blanking all
openings in the system in an approved manner. Suitable plugs are inserted at the
lower end of the drain or sewer and at the head of any connections. Drainage
Testing Methods
A suitable bend together with a vertical length of pipe is fitted at the head of the
sewer or drain to provide the necessary test head. The system then filled with water.
So ensure that all piping and joints are no leak. During the water test, precautions
should be taken to prevent any movement of the drain or sewer.
All ends shall be plugged after completion of test to protect from debris.
After successful testing & Inspection of pipe work, covering of pipe work can proceed
as
per approved drawing details.
Ensure LOTO procedure to be followed and implement comprehensive logout & tag
out during execution of work. Drainage Testing Methods
Seal pipe open ends of the pipe section with appropriate size drain test plug.
Fit test nipple to one of the drain test plugs.
Connect rubber hose via *Y’ piece to nipple, ‘ll’ gauge and hand bellows.
Fill ‘U’ gauge with water to ‘zero’. Air Test for Drainage Piping
Pipework systems shall be air tested at a pressure equal to 75 mm water gauge for a
period of 15 minutes. Squeeze the hand bellows gently until the level reaches 38mm
on
the open side of the gauge and the lower limit below zero on the closed side.
The water level in the ‘U’ gauge shall remain constant for a period of 3 minutes, after
allowing a suitable time for stabilization of air temperature.
If the water in open end column drops within the specified time the pipe section is
leaking.
The location of leak shall be identified and the leaks shall be rectified and test
procedure
is carried out again. Air Test for Drainage Piping

1. First of all estimate all material related to the repair segment. And arrange the same
approved material as per approved project spec and drawing.
2. MIR should be done before using the material.
3. After approved of MIR transfer the materials to the site.
4. Remove damage material and clean the of old material location.
5. Make the joint preparation on pipe at damage pipe if required.
6. Install the new materials as per drawings.
7. After installation make test if required and coordinate with QC for inspection and
approval from consultant.
