Pneumatic testing
Where water cannot be used, pneumatic tests with the additional precautions and exclusion zones they require.
Hydrotest services in Makkah for water and pumping facilities, district cooling plants and other sites across Makkah. We test piping, pipelines and vessels to the approved test pack, then drain, dry and reinstate the system.
Hydrotest in Makkah
Makkah's industrial work centres on the water supply, pumping and storage systems that serve the city and its millions of pilgrims, district cooling plants around the central area, and large infrastructure projects. Scheduling is shaped by the Hajj and Umrah seasons, and crews are assigned in line with the city's entry requirements.
Water transmission lines, pumping station piping and district cooling systems in Makkah are hydrotested before commissioning. Because these systems serve the city through peak seasons, we schedule tests early and keep records ready for the operator's acceptance.
Our hydrotest services in Makkah use the same calibrated equipment, procedures and reporting we use on sites across the Kingdom.
Testing ties in with our other services: test blinds and flanges are made up by bolt torquing, damaged faces found during testing are repaired by flange facing, and lines are dried afterwards by nitrogen purging.

Yes. We test transmission and distribution sections to the specified pressure and hold time, with calibrated equipment and recorded results.
We plan major work outside peak seasons where possible and agree access, working hours and logistics with the client in advance, assigning crews in line with Makkah's entry requirements.
The test pressure comes from the design code and your specification. For process piping to ASME B31.3, for example, it is normally 1.5 times the design pressure, adjusted for temperature. We work to the value in the approved test pack.
