Big opportunities tomorrow.
This competency program trains diploma engineers in hydrostatic testing procedures, pressure equipment safety, test planning, and documentation requirements essential for commissioning and integrity verification activities.
The Hydrotest Competency Program develops skills for safe and effective pressure testing of industrial systems. It introduces pressure testing concepts, purpose of hydrotesting, types of pressure tests, regulatory importance, and safety awareness. Test planning and preparation include test packs and drawings, isolation planning, test medium selection, and risk assessment. Equipment and instrumentation cover pumps, hoses, pressure gauges, calibration requirements, and relief devices. System preparation includes flushing, cleaning, filling procedures, air removal, and leak prevention. Test execution procedures cover pressurization steps, hold periods, monitoring, and acceptance criteria. Safety controls include exclusion zones, barricading, emergency depressurization, and PPE requirements. Inspection and acceptance cover visual leak inspection, pressure drop analysis, test acceptance decisions, and rectification handling. Depressurization and draining involve safe depressurization, draining methods, system restoration, and waste disposal. Documentation and certification include test records, calibration certificates, client approvals, and authorization documentation. Emergency response and incident handling cover test failure response, equipment rupture actions, reporting procedures, and lessons learned.
The module highlights how thoughtful planning can directly improve project quality, reduce accidents, and help projects finish on time and within budget.
