Pipe test report packages, matched segment by segment and station by station for your project manager.

Testing happens over weeks. A crew pumps a valved section to test pressure while an inspector watches the gauge, a mandrel goes through a sewer run, a manhole gets a vacuum head, a lab emails coliform results. Your project manager then sorts those sheets by line and station, moves the numbers onto the owner's forms, confirms each stretch between valves or manholes has a record, and chases whatever is missing.

In the test, AI reads copies of those records and assembles the draft package: a list of segments by line and station, each sheet filed under its segment, the values moved onto the owner's form, and a list of every segment with no passing record. Nothing goes to an engineer or an owner, and your reviewer compares the draft with the package you really sent.

One leakage test gets written down three ways. The Columbus, Ohio water division's pressure test report reads leakage off a barrel: the gauge and the distance from the top of the barrel to the water, every half hour in its sample, converted to gallons from the barrel's diameter, with each section tested on its own from valve to valve. A Phoenix light rail checklist revised in December 2025 has the contractor pump from a full bucket and measure what remains in a separate covered makeup bucket, down to ounces. Berkeley County in South Carolina counts the water pumped and metered in to hold pressure, plus what it takes to bring the line back up at the end. However the field measured, the draft carries the raw numbers onto the owner's form and names the method it read.

The allowable number depends on whose formula is in the spec. Berkeley County's section and Columbus's form both divide by 148,000 for ductile iron, and Aqua Pennsylvania's force main section, dated July 2020, divides by 133,200. For PVC, counted by joints instead of feet, Aqua uses 7,400 and Berkeley County 8,223, and both point to AWWA publications, C600 among them. Test pressure moves too: 150 psi or one and a half times working pressure, whichever is greater, measured at the lowest point in Berkeley County; at least 188 psi in the Phoenix checklist, with the test cap at the low end because a gauge at the high end reads false. Polyethylene mains can come under a different document, ASTM F2164, on field leak testing of PE and PEX pressure piping. The draft shows the formula printed by that job's owner and every input to it, and never picks one.

Sewer records run on tables and waiting periods. Aqua's air test raises the starting pressure when groundwater sits above the pipe, by the depth divided by 2.31, then reads a required time from a table by pipe diameter and section length, and it times a manhole's vacuum falling from 10 to 9 inches of mercury against a table of depth and diameter. ASTM F1417, for plastic non-pressure sewer lines, offers a constant-pressure method and a time-pressure drop method, so the sheet has to say which ran. ASTM C828, for vitrified clay, leaves the time between backfill and the air test to the approving authority and allows an earlier run as a preliminary check. Aqua wants backfill placed and dewatering stopped 14 days before deflection testing; Texas rule 30 TAC 217.57 bars a deflection test until at least 30 days after final backfill and says television can't stand in for it. Georgia DOT's mandrel report, form OMR-CVP-65, wants the installation date, mandrel size and maximum and minimum fill height. The draft sets each test date beside the backfill date it can find and leaves the judgment to your project manager.

Disinfection has its own order and its own map. The Florida health office in Hillsborough County says pressure tests must come before bacteriological samples, and wants samples at the connection to the existing system, at the end of the new line, on any branch and every 1,200 feet of straight run, each location on two consecutive days at least six hours apart, with chlorine residual recorded for every sample. Palm Beach County's water utility runs the other way: no pressure test of any kind, the contractor's own included, can start until the project holds a Construction Water Only certification, and that needs a passing two-day bacteriological test and preliminary as-builts. AWWA's August 2023 notice on revising C651, Disinfecting Water Mains, widens its scope to mains used for temporary service. So the draft shows dates in sequence and quotes what that owner's section says comes first.

Your reviewer will start with the gaps. Phoenix caps one test at 2,500 feet of pipe 4 inches and larger, so a long main becomes several sheets, and its inspector turns in the form, the checklist and a marked-up plan sheet with the stations written out. Berkeley County wants 72 hours' notice, the engineer and its own representative at every test, a four-inch gauge with one-psi tick marks or the test fails until one arrives, and leaks noted on the report form with the repairs made, even when the rate was within limits. Palm Beach County adds gravity main lamping and a spark or thickness test on coated sewer structures before final wastewater certification. The draft keeps every failed test and its retest in date order, files each sheet once, and lists any stretch between valves or manholes where no passing record turned up.

Once your reviewer says yes, new test sheets go through the same assembly for about 30 days as crews finish each section.

Every package waits for your project manager, who checks it and sends it to the engineer or owner by the usual route.

The live job has a fixed price agreed before you sign, monthly support follows once it runs, and any job after it is priced separately.
