InDepth Water Management specialises in comprehensive pipeline pressure testing, servicing all counties across Ireland. We work with contractors, civil engineering firms, developers, local authorities, and Uisce Éireann to ensure that new water mains meet the highest safety and performance standards.
Pipeline pressure testing is a mandatory step in commissioning new water mains. Our technicians carry out precise tests to confirm that your pipelines are structurally sound, leak-free, and ready for certification and handover—whether it’s for housing estates, industrial developments, or pumping stations.
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
We utilise advanced hydrostatic test pumps, tailored to the specific type and size of the pipeline, to pressurise the system. These pumps are equipped with pressure relief valves, adjustable on-site to the required test pressure. For materials like HDPE and MDPE, we employ pressure data loggers to monitor and record the testing process. Our technicians analyse these results using WRC-approved software, ensuring compliance with the Uisce Éireann water testing standards IGN 4-01-03*. This rigorous approach guarantees that our Clients receive accurate and valid test certifications necessary for connections to the main line.
Expertise and Experience: Our team comprises skilled professionals with extensive experience in pipeline pressure testing, ensuring accurate results and reliable services. Our technicans will determine the most appropriate test depending on the pipe material and testing specifications.
Nationwide Coverage: We offer our services across Ireland, providing timely and efficient solutions to meet your project requirements.

*IGN 4-01-03 Test procedure outlined in Section 5 of the WRC A Guide to Testing of Water Supply Pipelines and Sewer Rising Mains, 1st Edition, June 1999, and IGN 4-01-03 31 Nov 2015 for use within the scope of Clause 11.3.3.41 of EN 805.)
We also test solid pipe materials such as Ductile Iron or PVC using the water loss procedure and the standard certified test gauge and manifold.
Post successful pressure testing, our technican conducts swabbing using foam swabs which are soaked in chlorine.
This process cleanses the Water Mains line thoroughly ensuring clear wash water and optimal pipeline performance.
To disinfect the pipelines, our technician will fill them with potable water mixed with a disinfectant to achieve a minimum concentration of 20 mg/l of free available chlorine. This solution remains in the system for at least 24 hours, after which we test for residual chlorine levels to ensure safety and compliance.
After the 24-hour period, a water sample will be taken and tested by an accredited laboratory to ensure chlorine-free of at least 10 mg/1 at the furthermost end from the point of injection.
InDepth Water Management are committed to delivering an unparalleled nationwide water management solution, with customer service underpinned by reliability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
