Hydrotech has grown into one of the best hydrotesting companies in the US, but what makes it so unique?
Characteristics of the Best Hydrotesting Companies in the US
There are many hydrotesting companies in the United States, but not all of them are created equal. Here are some of the characteristics that the best hydrotesting companies share:
1. Extensive Experience
The best hydrotesting companies have been in business for many years and have extensive experience testing a variety of pressure vessels and piping systems. This experience gives them the knowledge and expertise to properly test your equipment and ensure it meets all safety standards.
But it’s more than just time in the business that determines experience. Hydrotech takes on challenges that others don’t even encounter. From consulting in the Middle East to moving and testing water in sub-freezing environments and environmental remediation – it’s overcoming these challenges that make Hydrotech the best.
2. State-Of-The-Art Equipment
One of the advantages of Hydrotech is that our equipment is some of the newest on the market. The business isn’t saddled with old, tired, and untrustworthy equipment. It’s more efficient and more reliable but also offers the latest technology that confirms accuracy and reduces risk.
3. Proven Track Record
The best hydrotesting companies have a proven track record of safely and effectively testing pressure vessels and piping systems. They have a long list of satisfied clients who can attest to their quality of work.
4. Certification
A quality hydrotesting firm should be certified by organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This certification ensures that the company meets all the necessary safety and quality standards. It keeps job sites safe, and tests accurate.
5. Variety of Services
Many additional elements contribute to a successful hydrostatic test but working with a number of different contractors and subcontractors can make a seamless test unlikely. The best hydrotesting companies offer a variety of services, such as hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing, and leak testing. This allows them to cater to the specific needs of their clients. Hydrotech also adds water management including the acquisition, transfer, storing, and environmental discharge of water for its clients. Smart pigging and tool runs as well as nitrogen services simplify invoicing, reduce contractors on site, and save money.
6. Knowledgeable Staff
Training and maintaining a highly qualified and skilled staff is key to the very best hydrostatic testing companies. Hydrotech ensures that technicians play a variety of positions granting them field-level experience across the business. This gives greater symmetry to the operation.
7. Safety Is The #1 Priority
Working with high-pressure environments, heavy equipment, and challenging geographic and topographic conditions leaves little room for error. The best companies in the industry are also the safest and that’s not coincidental. Hydrotech benefits from one of the safest operations in the country.
8. Reliability
Construction and maintenance projects can quickly expand in scope and deliverable dates slip. It’s imperative a quality hydrostatic testing company is reliable and can be counted on to deliver quality work on time and on budget.
Quality Assurance and Safety Protocols
Hydrostatic pressure tests are used to verify the structural integrity of a pressure vessel or piping system, and to check for leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or piping system with water and then subjecting it to an internal pressure greater than the operating pressure.
If the vessel or piping system can withstand the increased pressure without leaking or deforming, then it is deemed to be safe for use. Hydrostatic tests are also used to determine the strength of a pressure vessel or piping system.
Hydrostatic testing is a widely used method of quality assurance and is performed by many industries including the oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation sectors.
