Hydrostatic Testing
Pipeline hydrotesting and pressure testing across South Texas and the Permian Basin
Confirm Pipeline Integrity Before Commissioning
Before a new or repaired pipeline goes into service, it has to prove it can hold pressure. GTO Construction provides hydrostatic testing for oil & gas operators across South Texas — planned, executed, and documented to meet DOT and industry standards.
We handle the full test cycle: planning, fill and pressurization, the required hold-and-monitor period, complete documentation, and safe dewatering and disposal. The result is a clean record set that supports your compliance and project handover.
Hydrotesting is an integral part of our pipeline construction work and complements our welding & fabrication services. We test lines across the Eagle Ford and Permian Basin.
Our Hydrostatic Testing Services
Test Planning
We develop a test plan matched to your pipeline spec, pressure requirements, and regulatory standards.
Fill & Pressurize
Controlled fill and pressurization of the line using the right equipment for the diameter and length.
Hold & Monitor
We hold test pressure and monitor for the required duration to confirm the line has no leaks.
Documentation
Complete test documentation and charts so you have the records needed for compliance and handover.
Dewatering & Disposal
Safe dewatering and disposal of test water in line with environmental requirements.
Code Compliance
Testing performed to meet or exceed DOT and industry standards for pipeline integrity.
Hydrostatic Testing FAQ
What is hydrostatic testing?+
Hydrostatic testing (hydrotesting) fills a pipeline with water and raises it to an elevated pressure for a set period to confirm there are no leaks and that the line meets its design pressure before going into service.
Why is hydrotesting required?+
It verifies pipeline integrity and is typically required by DOT regulations and operator specifications before a new or repaired line is commissioned. It protects safety, the environment, and your investment.
Do you provide test documentation?+
Yes. We provide complete documentation and pressure charts so you have the records needed for regulatory compliance and project handover.
What areas do you serve for hydrostatic testing?+
We provide hydrostatic testing across the Eagle Ford Shale, the Permian Basin, and South Texas, mobilizing from Three Rivers, TX.
