Services > Pressure testing > Pipeline filling
One of the main priorities of ITP Service during the pipeline filling service is to ensure the maximum elimination of air within them.
To carry out this service, bi-directional pipeline pigs are used and the pumping station has to be close to a water source in order to fill the pipeline. During the filling stage, we record and document the following essential data:
- Flow
- Total volume
- Pressure
- Water temperature
- Time
