The relevant construction phases of each item on Scope of Work are hereinafter mentioned.

6.1 Work Methodology

6.1.1 Document Submittals
• Work permits shall be obtained from Client prior to start of any work activities as required.
• All relevant service authorities must be valid for the entire duration of the intended works. If
existing services are observed, the permit of the concerned department shall also be
obtained.
• No further activities shall commence prior to issuance of the Work Clearance for the
preceding operation. All supervisory personnel shall be aware of the permit to work system
and methodology of work activities.

METHOD STATEMENT FOR PIPE LEAKAGE DETECTION TEST

6.1.2 Preparatory Works

• Prior to execution of leak tests, all pipelines shall be ensured completed and have been
checked of its elevation and alignment.
• A visual inspection of the pipelines shall also be conducted to check for any observable
damage. Any observable abnormalities should be addressed accordingly before proceeding
to the test.
• All the necessary equipment and their appurtenances shall be deployed and set up
accordingly. Their calibration shall be ensured up to date prior to utilization.

6.1.3 Pipe Leakage Test Procedures

a. Bubble Test
• The bubble test shall be conducted for duct and pipelines especially at the joints or
connections.
• A soap and water solution shall be prepared. Mixing of the said material shall be of adequate
ratios to produce bubbles for instances of leakage.
• All openings of the duct and pipeline shall be ensured closed. The duct or pipeline shall
then be loaded with gas and shall have adequate pressure maintained inside the duct or
pipelines.
• After attaining the required pressure for the duct or pipeline, the joints shall be poured with
the soap and water solution.
• Once the soap and water solution has been poured and bubbles have formed at the surface,
it indicates a leak in the area.
• The duct or pipeline shall gradually be depressurized and shall have the leaks rectified in
accordance with the technical specifications.

b. Hydrostatic Test
• Pressure manifold equipment shall be set up at one end of the pipeline. All the other ends
of the pipeline shall be ensured closed and shall be provided with adequate thrust blocks
whenever necessary.
• Water shall then be injected gradually into the pipeline until it is full and until the required
pressure is attained.
• Pressure shall be maintained for a period of time in accordance with the technical
specifications.
• The pipeline shall then be inspected for any leakage. For instances where leakage has
occurred, the area shall be marked and shall be rectified accordingly compliant with the
technical specifications.
